Any clothing ideas for a mtf to ease into non-masc stuff? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I hope my enby peeps can help me out here.

I am very interested in exploring a more feminine expression, but my starting point is masc-af physically, so anything too feminine too quick is going to have a very hard contrast and I'm definitely more of an "I don't want to stick out much" kind of person.

Any ideas that may be more androgynous, but not attention grabbing that I can try out? I am not good at picking outfits anyway, so I need all the help I can get.

Like beard and full body hair, so obviously lower cut stuff could be very dysmophic atm.

Maybe something that just feelsmore feminine but may not look it so much. You know? Does this make sense?

I recently cut some jeans into shorts and folded up the bottoms to make them shorter and cuffed, which feels slightly fem to me. shorter shorts in general. show off some extra thigh and play it off like it's a retro 80s style

I had thought about trying some shorter shorts even before the questioning started! It seems like men's shorts have been getting shorter lately and I have some beefy thighs.

I don't totally know why I didn't sooner other than a maybe a deep seated fear of being perceived as gay.

Probably would look even better with hairless legs. I have been damn near planning on trying that over the fall/winter.

Omg they have! I love buying men's shorts with a 7 or 9 inch inseam. My mom and I used to laugh at how many men were wearing tight vacation chinos from lands end in extremely vibrant colors with a pair of boat shoes and no socks. Its so absurdly feminine, and it was peak male fashion only like 5 years ago. Still see them frequently. But when I started to realize I wanted to be visibly queer (before realizing I was transfem) I bought a pair!
