Are you looking for male to female (MTF) fashion tips to help you look your best this summer? If so, you are in the right place!
Even though hot weather can be tricky (hello, sweat!), summer can be a great time to embrace your feminine side. There’s nothing like stepping out en femme in a cute sundress or sexy swimsuit.
Here are 7 tips, tailored specifically for crossdressers and transgender women, to help you look extra sexy and feminine this summer.
1. Rock Some Sexy Sunglasses
Sunglasses are a summer must-have accessory. They not only shield your eyes but also exude a touch of glamour and allure.
Here’s are the best frame shapes to flatter your face:
- Rounded frames balance angular features.
- Angular frames are most flattering for round faces.
Tip: Avoid wearing your sunglasses too high up on your face. Most stylists recommend that your sunglasses should not cover your eyebrows.
2. Illuminate Your Locks
Summer and highlights go hand in hand. Add some highlights to your natural hair or pick up a wig with highlights.
Good news: Crossdressers and transgender women of all skin and hair tones can pull off highlights. Shades like auburn, chocolate, or dark blonde complement darker coloring beautifully.
3. Try a Sun-Kissed Glow
A tan exudes sexiness and gives your body a more toned appearance. Rather than risking sunburn, opt for a self-tanner.
I recommend using a tanning mousse with a mitt applicator for an even, natural-looking tan. Jergens Natural Glow Instant Sun Body Mousse is an excellent option.
4. Switch Up Your Fragrance
Change your fragrance to match the summer vibe. Take a break from heavy, musky scents and opt for something light and fruity.
Consider these summer-worthy scents:
- On the Beach by Louis Vuitton (unisex, so you can wear it in male mode too!)
- Sugar Lemon by Fresh
- Be Delicious Fresh Blossom by DKNY
- Daisy Eau So Fresh by Marc Jacobs
5. Bid Farewell to Body Hair
Smooth, silky skin is irresistibly sexy. Summer is the perfect time for a full-body shave or wax, bringing out your inner femininity.
You’ll not only feel more girly but also cooler and fresher, enhancing the feminine experience.
6. Lighten Up Your Lip Shade
Summer calls for a shift from deep lip colors to fresh and light hues. Soft pinks, corals, and nudes are ideal choices for a warm weather look.
7. Treat Yourself to a New Dress
Invest in a sexy new sundress to kick off the summer season. Look for flowing, gathered styles that create the illusion of curves.
Now, show off your summer look!
I hope these MTF fashion tips have convinced you that summer is the perfect time to embrace your feminine style.
This applies whether you plan to step out as a woman in public, or simply enjoy your female side in private.
I’d love to see your favorite summer look, so please share your photos below!

Oh, Lucille, you are SO cosmopolitan! I LOVE the introduction: “Summer is around the corner (here in the Northern Hemisphere at least)…”
Some of my summer faves are lightweight full swishy skirts, and loose tops, and yes, bright colors (although that applies much of the year, too). Wide hats. And of course big lively sunglasses. I have had a policy of avoiding sun exposure for so long, that artificial tan just wouldn’t be me. But maybe stencil work or something would be fun. Sunscreen is my pal. I’ve mentioned before that I like loose long light dresses for traveling. Best in summer. A memory on the latter: one dress at an outdoor cultural event was so long that I kept stepping on the hem. Embarrassing. Another: I wore such a dress while climbing an Arizona “mountain”, and folks said I was the best-dressed climber on the hill.
Speaking of sun, a warning for you delicious femmes who are still stealth, especially if partnered: If you get a tan or burn in your sexy summer wear, it might leave a suspicious pattern for your other to puzzle over.
Enjoy the season, girls!
A supplement to the last warning: Once I wore a Helly Hansen polypro top, dark blue with short horizontal white stripes along the shoulders and down the arms. After a day outdoors, the thinner white left a mild burn pattern in the same places. It was interesting for a while!
First outing in new swimsuit

Love summertime less makeup and much less clothing. This was after a long day of running around on a Friday before the evening out with my guy.
Feels great to start enjoying some warm days.
Love my summer dresses!

Warm weather makes the outfits easy!
Flounce top, shorts and ALWAYS a femme city bike is my fave accessory!!
