As a guy people didn’t care and it was so easy. Jeans and a buttoned shirt, or hoodie with sweats, or such. Everything I bought fit decently and it was easy to style myself in the mornings.
As a girl though there’s so much going on. There’s jeans dresses skirts sweats chinos and so on. There’s endless amounts of tops, some are meant to be combined with others but is hard to fit right. The materials matter as some materials don’t fit with others. And then there’s necklaces, rings, earrings, etc… Not to start with all the shoes too 😭
On top of all that there’s HOW you wear stuff. You can let a sweater hang loose, tuck it in partly, tuck it in fully, and so on. Like there’s so much going on.
I’m 2 years into my transition and I have managed to get a few outfits, but I really struggle with how to style myself. I therefore tend to dress very simple, which makes me stick out :/ I don’t mind it too much personally, but to be truthful I become very self conscious around other girls because I feel like they just… get it.
Has anyone felt the same but overcame it? How do you get better at styling yourself? I’ve tried to read up on body types etc… as well as I can and therefore have managed to get a few fits, but I find it so incredibly tough. Over half of what I buy gets thrown out / donated because it just doesn’t fit right, even if it feels ok in the stores.
