Feeling beautiful, feminine, and sexy isn’t just for the young. If you’re a crossdresser or transgender woman, you too deserve to feel sexy and confident at any age.
However, dressing sexy isn’t necessarily about wearing mini skirts and stripper heels, especially as you age. Remember, there’s a fine line between sexy and slutty!
Instead, the key is to present yourself in a stylish and sexy manner that complements your age and body type. In this blog post, I’ll be sharing my top 3 crossdressing / MTF fashion tips for dressing sexy 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.

my first date with a guy and a beer party
this is one of the pics when i want to ladies night out
i think i adhere to most of your advice and have been wearing right dresses and heels, and other things, however my dresses are usually such where my cleavage and bra straps are clearly visible..
Im almost 30 and fi ding it semi difficult to dress appropriately. I missed the awesome late teens/early twenties and now focusing on how to look good without being TOO slutty. But with these tips i should be fine 🙂
You are right when you say dress age appropriate. I have tried to go mini
skirt and it looks just ridiculous on me. I go for smooth lines and longer dresses for my age and it works great. I will be the dreaded 59 in two more days.
Love these tips!!
This pic prolly breaks the “dowdy” rule, but it’s what I’m modeling in an upcoming fashion show. These shows are so much fun – I’m with other women my age or older, some shy others brash. And everyone glamming & hamming and being unabashedly “girly” among each other. (And no, after several times of this, I’m certain that they’re clueless that I’m a trans woman.)
Thank you so much for all of your articles. They have all helped me so much during my transition. I will continue to depend upon you for providing information to me in my journey.
Sincerely
