What feminine items do you wear?

Discussion of fashion elements and looks that are traditionally considered somewhat "femme" but are presented in a masculine context. This is NOT about transvestism or crossdressing.

For me it depends - tall boots (without heels), leggings, tights, skirts, ponchos, knitted coats, long cardigans

I'll be driving the wife to a mall in a bit - cold outside so we'll be "walking indoors" today. I just put on a pair of dark gray leggings (that she bought for me) under a (U.S. Air Force) tartan kilt (that she also bought me). Lucky camper here.

It is great to have a partner who offers that kind of support. :thumright:

Long skirts and blouses but not both at once. My motto is..."Shirts with skirts and blouses with trousers" :wink:

I have been wearing shirts and skirts regularly now for about six months. My wife and I have been everywhere and have had no bad comments or stares, just a few second looks. I prefer colorful prints and colors, and pleats to help with the battle of the bulge. I am not trying to be "enfem", just an old Vermonter living in Florida who prefers to wear skirts.

And what a great and easy place for bright colors & skirts. Glad you are enjoying and finding what most regular skirt wearers have found, some second glances of course, that is natural -- and the world just keeps chugging along! Having somebody with you also seems to help put in people's mind that what they are seeing is ordinary and accepted.

I don’t know if this qualifies as an “item” to wear, but, I’ve experimented from time to time with perfume, currently I’m using Obsession by Calvin Klein, and I’ve liked it, the smell is delightful and it works for me.
I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman.

Jeff; many in the circles I travel in request "scent free" offices and meetings especially as quite a few people have respiratory & medical sensitivities to perfumes. There is also a huge question about their inherent health safety. Below is an excerpt from a Guardian article a few years back; and I've seen more damning reports since then.

"More than 1,200 fragrance chemicals currently in use have been flagged as potential or known “chemicals of concern”, according to a 2018 report from WVE. These include seven carcinogens, 15 chemicals prohibited from use in cosmetics in the EU and others cited in various international warning lists. Endocrine disrupters, which mimic human hormones, are of particular concern to many researchers and advocates, as they can have effects in the tiniest doses."
