You are never too young or too old to be your best female self. But what does that mean when it comes to dressing age appropriately as a transgender woman or crossdresser?
We’ve all seen older women dressed like teenagers… and the attention they attract usually isn’t positive.
Does that mean you have to dress like an old frump after a certain age? Absolutely not!
I believe most of the “dress for your age” rules are silly and outdated… That said, there ARE some guidelines worth keeping in mind.
In this blog post, I share tips on how to look classy and feminine at every age.
Your 20s or Younger

20s: Transgender style tips
- Your 20s are a time to play with trends and be adventurous. You’re still discovering your style, so take risks and have fun!
- You’re not a kid anymore, so avoid adolescent details like glitter, rhinestones, or cartoony prints.
- You can get away with short skirts and body-baring styles, but be careful not to cross the line from sexy to slutty. Good taste is a fashion DO at any age.
Your 30s

30s: Transgender style tips
- Your 30s are the time to start adding a touch of sophistication to your look.
- You can still have fun, but it’s time to uplevel your look by dressing less casually than you did in your 20s.
- This is the perfect time to start building a wardrobe of classics while continuing to play with trendy items.
Your 40s

40s: Transgender style tips
- This is the age to start thinking about dressing in more tailored styles. Consider classic, clean shapes in bold colors or prints for added impact.
- Go for simplicity rather than complicated details. From now on, your look should be clean, classy and sophisticated.
- There’s no reason to turn down your sex appeal once you hit 40. But instead of baring it all, show off one part of your body and keep the rest covered.
Your 50s

50s: Transgender style tips
- Now’s the time to start highlighting your face instead of your body. (Though if you have a body like Candis Cayne, throw this rule out the window!)
- It’s especially important to wear clothes that fit well. Choose tailored styles that skim your body instead of clinging.
- As you get older, your clothes should get simpler. But simple doesn’t have to mean boring! Accessorize with bold jewelry, gorgeous bags, and great shoes.
Your 60s and Beyond

60s+: Transgender style tips
- By now you know yourself well and are past trying to look like a 30-year-old.
- Much like a woman in her 50s, it’s best to stick to the classics, with lots of interesting jewelry and other accessories to liven up your face and wardrobe.
- Invest in good quality shoes, handbags, and jewelry so you can enjoy them through this decade and beyond.
- No matter how far past 60 you are, you NEVER have to dress in frumpy old lady clothes!

Hi – I have seen this post before! I love it! I just turned 79 years young! I can’t believe it! I have been crossdressing all my life and love it. I have been retired now for about 8 years and pretty much live my life now 24/7 as a woman and wouldn’t have it any other way. My style of dress throughout my life is to just blend in as any other woman and try not to bring attention to yourself. Now at my age, I still like to wear sexy clothes, but stay contemporary with what the current styles are. This is a photo of me yesterday at my local mall out shopping. I’m always greeted with Ma’am and Miss when I’m addressed by sales folks! So much fun! Suzy
I feel I have finally figured out this “style” thing – wear what feels comfortable and looks classy. Works every time!
I’m in my mid 50s and love dressing. I get my style from woman at work and just watching women around the same age. I also dress gender fluid everyday. I’ve been dressing since I was little, but I’m more confident now with myself going out.
Hi. Just letting everyone know I’m loving being the woman I been for years. Nothing like looking and feeling beautiful.
I love romantic and bohemian style at any my age.. And counttry style too. Even when I worked as financial director I never weared office clothes. Ten side effects in a year of covid 19 can’t give me a chance to show my face after 18 kg lost, but I do the most to repprogramme me.
I wear conservative outfits and mild make up to the office, the girls love me and Love being one of them. There are even guys in the office who flirt with me.
