If you enjoy crossdressing or embracing your feminine side as a transgender woman, you probably love the feeling of being all dolled up!
There are endless options for expressing your feminine style – whether your look is girly girl, classic, bombshell, or something entirely unique.
That said, there are definitely a few items that should be on your DO NOT WEAR list.
Whether you dress as a woman full time or just occasionally, here are 7 things not to wear when presenting yourself as a woman.
1. A Too-Short Skirt That Rides Up
Most crossdressers and transgender women have gorgeous legs that look amazing in short skirts and dresses.
But if your skirt is so short that you have to constantly tug to keep it from riding up, it’s a definite NO. There’s nothing more distracting than seeing an otherwise attractive woman struggling with her clothes.
2. A Poor Quality Wig
Your hair is one of the first things people notice about you. If you wear a cheap or worn-out looking wig, you’ll likely attract the wrong kind of attention.
To avoid this, invest in a high-quality wig and take good care of it. This way, you can ensure that you always make a positive impression with your hair.
3. Ill-Fitting Undies
Ill-fitting bras and panties aren’t just uncomfortable; they can create unsightly bulges and wrinkles under your clothes. Who wants that?
Believe it or not, about 80% of women wear the wrong bra size. So, there’s a good chance you might be wearing an ill-fitting bra too.
But don’t worry, you can find your proper bra size with some helpful tips. Check out this article for guidance: How to Find Your MTF Bra Size (Transgender/Crossdressing Tips).
4. Too Much Perfume
The perfect perfume can make you feel irresistibly feminine, but it shouldn’t be so strong that it becomes overpowering to others.
A simple rule of thumb is to apply 2 spritzes to 1-2 areas of your body, like your wrists and neck – never exceeding a total of 5 spritzes.
5. Shoes You Can’t Walk In
Sexy stilettos are a surefire way to look and feel gorgeous – but only if you can walk in them! If you have trouble walking in heels, try these tips:
- Stick with heels 3” or lower
- Wear shoes with thicker heels (skinny heels are much harder to balance in)
- Avoid thick platforms
6. Too Much Makeup
When it comes to makeup, less is more. A soft, natural look is always more feminine and flattering than overdoing it.

7. Worn Out Clothes or Accessories
It’s hard to feel like a poised and polished woman in scuffed shoes or a stretched out bra.
Take a good look at your clothes, undies, and accessories and either repair, donate, or toss anything past its prime.
In conclusion
While I’m not a big believer in fashion rules, I think we can all agree that these items do nothing to enhance your feminine image.
So what do you think of my list? Is there anything else you would add? I’d love to hear from you, so please share in the comments below!
Love,

Hum I got a lot Of Stuff Girl wise But Really I need more and A make Over I’m Transgender I’m Trying 2 Look more Like a Lady But I Got Limited Clothing And All Some Female I Love And Male I Hate
Very constructive, and relevant tips, Lucille. For me, it is crucial to be able to blend in, for example, I ensure that my skirts are rarely any higher above my knee than 1 foot. Also I ensure that my bra outline is not detracting from my feminine image.
As I always say, my #1 goal is to completely blend in to the crowd when I’m out in public, and NOT draw unwanted or extra attention my way. Keep my dresses and skirts at knew or 2″ above, black or nude sheer thigh-highs, and flats – with cute top nd/or sweater, and a nice scarf with shoulder purse to match my flats. Average everyday make-up and I style my own hair (no wigs) very feminine “look” with bangs. Matching jewelry and toned down nail polish with just 2-3 spritzes of perfume, add my faux Chanel sunglasses, and I’m good to go looking like most women walking around downtown LA, or SF, Portland, Seattle office areas. At the malls I always do more casual leggings with a skirt or skinny jeans to blend in.
Cathy I would love to see a photo. I’ve followed your comments for years now and you have very similar ideals as myself….Ms Dana Christina
Short skirts.
I have to wear very short skirts,as my master likes them.
I am very lucky in that I get great advice from my partner, in fact she has vowed to not let me leave the house if I’m dressed inappropriately! I think wearing clothes which are not in keeping with your age is a big no no and I totally agree with the makeup one, I don’t wear much except on special occasions but I had a makeup lesson with a young lady makeup artist while in the UK last month and she taught me some very valuable tips and now wear a little more but very discreet and tasteful.
I just try to blend in as any other normal woman would. And I agree with everyone as far as makeup goes. Keep it simple. And also, invest in quality wigs, they make such a big difference. I’m 72 and I find the older I get for some reason, the more easy it is for me to be accepted as a woman. Here I am at the mall the other day. I love being a girl!
Another good call. At my age it’s age appropriate dressing when I go out. If I’m stopping in, or visiting friends, then I can dress a bit more daringly than I usually would. As I get older I find that make-up is more necessary but with practice over the years I feel OK about the amount I need. A woman’s work is never done as I’m finding out.
sorry say christine but those shoes don’t go or match that dress you have on or wearing try wearing some white one’s or light shade of black one’s but tan or natural color
Great advice, as usual. Tip tips for me are to dress age appropriate, wear shoes you can walk (or even run) in and don’t overdo the make up. I had a professional make-over and the results were stunning, so much so that I hardly recognised myself in the photo’s taken. The make-up is hard enough for women like me but practice makes perfect and the lessons I am now having are starting to pay off. Thanks again, Diane.
