The photo is hard to see because of the glare, but you have a slim figure and the leggings and long shirt look good on you. I assume the red shoes are stilettos and they complement the outfit well. I bet you could pull it off going public and few people would notice, since it looks well put together. If your avatar photo is you, most people would never know you're a male.

Thank you Steve, and yes the avatar is me :) I'm somewhat glad to hear I'm passable ^_^

@Lvemadomina:

If you look at how women normally dress up when wearing leggings, they often wear long-shirts that flare out at the bottom and might be a bit longer (hard to see on your pic).

It's also important that if it's really a leggings without any closing/fly in the front, the shirt should be long enough to cover the crotch area - even in women's clothing, this is an unwritten rule.

 

Example:

So... you definitely got the figure to pull off the outfit, but I would choose a shirt that is tapered in the middle, but flares out a bit more at the bottom. Yes - that's VERY hard to find if you don't want to take a female shirt, as male "narrow" or "modern" cut shirts don't flare out at the bottom, but stay narrow throughout the whole shirt.

 

When I have finished a couple of other sewing projects, this shirt still is on my list, as I've got the same problem during summer with my leather leggings. Therefore I took an old men's shirt (narrow cut), took it apart and reconstructed its pattern. I've all things lying around here, but first need to finish a tote that I am currently working on :cheeky:

 

All in all a nice outfit !

 

And: I suppose that you are still younger than I am (I am 40). I did have a US size 6 when I was around 25, which was really thin. Nowadays, I often think that I should have been more bold back then (I was bold, but still too cautious), when I still could basically wear EVERYTHING. Your photo looks like that you still are thin enough to pull off pretty much everything that you wear, so do yourself a favor and don't only wear it at home. When you are older, you will regret it if you did not.

Exactly FS75 - A tunic top or a long t-shirt with leggings/jeggings and even skinny jeans is a look i go for often.  Back when i still had male clothes, i could not find many things in that side of the store that fit that description. H&M in the US is starting to do more feminine men's wear and that includes tunic type tops.

Thanks both of you! The shirt is still a mens and it covers like half of that area, I've actually seen ASOS having men's "longline" shirts they're called and I hope they catch on so I can have a better excuse to wear leggings! ^_^

As Steve said, it's a little hard to tell with the glare in the picture but the outfit looks fine to me.  I'd add a belt and pair it with boots or booties rather than pumps, but then I like boots.

 

something like this

Just playing dress up...I don't have the courage to wear this out but if I did, I think it would work?

That's a great look. I would wear that out

Not sure if I posted these, I always feel my heel outfits balance out better with a jacket but have trouble wearing one in the south Florida summer :P

Very classy. I love them and would wear them with pride.

10 minutes before leaving to today's Vogue's fashion night out, I changed my outfit to this:


vfn15_zpsouekaw1g.jpg

Outfit: Boots by Phillip Hardy, Balenciaga leather leggings, Esprit crepe blouse, black bow made by myself, Commes des Garcons jacket, Borsalino Fedora, Belstaff bag.

To be honest, the boots that I was wearing originally were my favorite Ermanno Scervino boots, but while walking, I noticed that I felt somewhat unstable on the right foot. Upon inspection, the right heel looked as if it would come off with just a few steps more.

So when I saw the boots that you see in the picture above in one of the shops, I went in, bought these, and bagged the original boots I was wearing, which are now in need for my cobbler to take a look at.

Note for this outfit: Fedora hats are WARM. I had never expected to get sweaty under a simple Fedora hat, but with a sunny day today (72° F), it quickly became a bit too warm. So if you wanna wear something like this, it definitely has to be colder outside.

The outfit itself got me QUITE a few looks, but with many fashion minded people there, most of them approving. Two girls serving sparkling wine at one of the bigger department stores even complimented me on the boots first, and then the whole outfit. They said that they really like the whole outfit, and think that it is quite bold to wear this as a guy, but that they definitely like it very much. Too bad that I am no longer their age range, they were probably in their early 20s. But it's cool that the younger generation is so open minded.

All in all, I bought 3 new pairs of shoes ... a story I will post in the new boots section...

Well done, freestyle! That's an outstanding outfit and you wore it like a champ!

I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!

Nice look! 

 

It must be nice to be of a size that when you see a pair of boots in a shop you can expect the shop to have them in your size. :cheeky:

Thanks!

They even had them one size larger, but I didn't require that :giggle:

But it's not always that I can expect this. Size 41 is not always available, e.g. a pair of HOGAN boots I wanted to buy were only available till size 40 (US 10), which is a size too small for me.

New skirt and new top. Actually, the black top I am wearing was a skirt before... let me explain: I ordered the skirt and liked the material quite a lot (it's satin-like, but without too much shine), so I thought "do they also have a matching top?" - they didn't. So I ordered the largest size skirt, took it apart, and sewed a top from it (which nobody recognizes :) ).

Second outfit, more of a "don't think too much about the outfit, just put it on and head out" type of style:

The boots are the ones that I also posted in the new boots thread.

Those heels are intense! Great look!

I finally did it. I got over my my last bit of doubt and WERKED my way through the mall wearing my black suede platform pumps from Payless.   Never got one negative reaction and barely saw anyone notice, tho I'm sure they did I was just too busy being awesome lol. Stopped into shops along the way of course. Most notably Reitmans to try on a pair of pleather skinnies which I may go back for.

I like the second outfit very much (geez... you are more bold than I am wearing those pumps, however I also haven't found a pair yet that I really liked and that would fit great), simply because the contrast of the leather vs. the suede looks very nice. However you should consider a different shirt that becomes wider towards the bottom. Yes, I know, difficult to find for men, but it would look better. Cool hat by the way... I just recently bought my first Fedora hat :-)

Isn't it a bummer when you put on your new shoes and get all dressed up and nobody notices. :roll:

I like the look.
