How To: The Guide for a Universal Dresser?!

  While grabbing a snack at the local dunkin' donuts with some friends, in walked this female. No one really noticed her visually but it was almost as if this woman emanated such confidence that it stunned my entire table silent. She strutted around the line towards her friend seated at the table directly behind me. Conversation didn't resume until five minutes later and the way she walked in was all we could talk about. I mean, this woman was not only tall but she had the model body and that strut she just gave us was runway ready! What eventually came to our attention was that, this woman everyone was gushing over was actually a male. To say many of us were surprised would be an understatement. Since none of us really did take the time to actually look at her properly to spot the truth, we weren't really bothered- stunned is more appropriate and jealous. We were a group of girls who couldn't walk with as much courage this female just entered the restaurant with, never the less we were still awe struck by how well this man could portray such a confident female.

  Male cross dressing or males dressing with more femininity personally, is like art to me. When done right, a male can look just as stunning as he would have if he dressed masculine. For instance, a male can dress shouldn't dress with tight, revealing, and busty looking female clothes. No! Looking like your drunk pot-bellied Uncle Bill after one too many beers is not attractive, more like creepy. There are ways one can go about dressing like a female without looking like their Uncle Bill. Soft textures and colors can help. Look for clothes that are feminine and made for men. Usually I would suggest comparing your body build with certain clothing can help too but I don't want to promote a certain image. Anyways, like I was saying, there are also stores that sell female clothing but with a male touch. J W Anderson's fall 2013 men's wear line has done a more feminine route.

      Men aren't the only ones to cross dress, we girls like to add some masculinity to our style every once in a while. Although there are tomboys, and  lesbians who prefer dressing like a boy, there are also those of us who are just genuinely curious as to how we would look if we dressed as a guy. You don't have to build your body to shape that of a man, and you don't have to wear actualya men's clothing. The ever beautiful miss Agyness Deyn has mastered the art of dressing like the opposite sex but still hold her femininity. Although Deyn's hair is cut short, you don't need to get a short do to pull off the boy look. Singer Ciara had her long locks braided for her music video "Like A Boy". 

      I honestly believe everyone has cross dressed at least once in their life. Whether it was as a child, trying on mommy or daddy's clothes. During Halloween or even just because you wanted to, there's nothing wrong embracing both your masculinity and femininity. You are you and no one can change that. Thanks for reading!
