If you’re a crossdresser or transgender woman, you know how tricky it can be to strike a balance between sexy and stylish – especially as you get older.
Does that mean you need to turn down your sex appeal after a certain age? Absolutely not! Everyone deserves to feel sexy and confident at any stage of life.
However, dressing sexy isn’t necessarily about wearing mini skirts and sky-high heels, especially as you age. Remember, there’s a fine line between sexy and slutty!
The key is to present yourself in a way that’s both stylish and sexy, while complementing your age and body type.
In this blog post, I’ll share my top 3 crossdressing and MTF fashion tips to help you embrace your sexy side at any age.
Rule #1: Show Some Skin (Just Not Too Much)
While short skirts and low-cut tops are undeniably sexy, it’s important not to go overboard. Here are a couple of guidelines to keep in mind:
- Your skirt should be no shorter than fingertip length when you stand with your arms at your sides. This ensures that you’re not revealing too much skin.
- Your top should show no more than 40% of your bust. This allows you to show off your assets in a tasteful and classy way, without overdoing it.
Remember, dressing sexy is all about finding the right balance between revealing and concealing.
Rule #2: Find the Right Proportions
Proportion is a crucial factor in how your clothes work together in terms of length, width, size, and volume. For example:
- A short skirt paired with a short top tends to look overtly revealing.
- A long skirt with a long top can appear frumpy.
- A full skirt with a full top may add visual weight.
- A tight skirt with a tight top can create an unflattering, sausage-like appearance (unless you have a flawless body!)
It’s important to strike the right balance in your outfit, so you should avoid going too far in any one direction.
If you opt for something tight or revealing, you should balance it out with the rest of your outfit. For example:
- A short skirt should be paired with a more covered top
- A skimpy top should be paired with a more covered bottom.
- A tight skirt should be paired with a fuller top.
- A tight top should be paired with a fuller skirt.
Rule #3: Wear Luxurious Fabrics
The fabrics you choose to wear is the final piece of the sexy puzzle.
When you hear the word “slutty,” you might picture a spandex skirt, a barely-there glitter top, and patent leather stripper boots.
On the other hand, “sexy” is often associated with luxurious fabrics such as silk, velvet, lace, and cashmere.
When shopping for clothes, look for fabrics that are rich and sensuous – rather than cheap and tacky.
Final Thoughts…
The bottom line is that you can look sexy and feminine at any age. Just be sure to keep it classy.

This is my friends dress I am borrowing for a gathering I am going to, the heels are still a killer for me to wear but my friend says it makes me more passable as a female
Brandi
Your friend’s dress is absolutely gorgeous on you. I’d say your friend is right about the heels too as you look 100% passable!
Wow! you are a natural woman
You look lovely honey ❤❤
Brandi,
You look absolutely stunning, very beautiful woman.
Kristin
Hi Brandi
You don’t need that cute dress and lovely heels. You are gorgeous. The dress and heels just add a little something to the overall picture.
Much love ❤
Tina D. H.
Brandi, that dress is really cute and the heels are perfect. You are lucky to have a friend who wants to help you be the real you. And if that is a picture of you, you have no worries about passing because you are beautiful.
Erica,you still look great

Hey Lucille,
I agree with the choices in clothing. I think another area to address is hair. A good wig is hard to find and picking the right style is incredibly difficult. I don’t want to go to a grey hair style, but I can’t go too young either. Short wigs are definitely out. I think long hair can be classy and is sexy. At 50 I am having a hard time finding the right hair and a place to find it at. I don’t want flaunt my TV status. I want to be passable. I would grow my hair out but can not do that this time.
Thanks for being here for us,
Denise
Good points. I couldn’t agree more, Denise. I am in my sixties and though reasonably youthful looking, I have trouble with ‘hair’. My own hair is too thin and receded to grow out and I also have to function as a man much of the time. For me, the most rewarding aspect of the feminine side of my dual personality is my ability to blend in and be accepted by the outside world as ‘just’ another woman, albeit, hopefully, an attractive one. When I’m out I feel that being accepted by women as one of them, with all their flaws and issues, is the nicest reward for me and the best tribute to women I can give. I believe I am fairly passable (and people tell me), but I find as I get older, I can adjust my clothes and makeup to conform to my age peers, but it is my hair that becomes difficult. A woman’s hair is her greatest asset, I believe. I find that women my age generally have lighter, shorter styles and in many cases their hair is getting thinner. In my experience, most wigs seem to be made to reflect the shine and texture of a twenty year old, which is quite different from a sixty year old. Yes, they make older style wigs, but I find there’s a big gap between young woman’s style wigs and old lady’s style wigs. There seems to be little in between. I need hair around my face to slightly soften my jawline, so many of the shorter wig styles won’t work for me, which means I have to look at the younger styles. And yes, you can cut and thin a wig to a certain extent, but you can only do so much until the wig is ruined. It doesn’t matter how appropriately you’re dressed, if your wig’s style, shine and thickness screams young woman rather than mature woman, people will notice you and then start to question your portrayal with awkward stares and giggling whispers (oh my god, is that a man?!!). I’ve been there, and personally not wanting to be a spectacle and a source of entertainment for others, I hate it! Do others have any helpful ideas? Please don’t tell me just to grin and bear it.

Hi Denise,
I find the internet via ebay a good source for new hair and very reasonably priced too, just search wigs and you are almost inundated, I have to do this as in my male persona I have no hair left.
Hope you find this info helpful.
Kind regards
Erica
