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?

Try to get more ample/flowing clothes with a lot of fabric (folds etc.), they often can look and feel more feminine.

I think I get the basic idea, but any chance you'd be able to find some examples? 🙏

Not the person you replied to, but I was going to say "tunics," but their comment covers that more broadly. Something that covers you up, but is easily to style with a jacket, scarf, vest or other accessories. Jeggings are very comfortable if you want something tighter.

I can't say I've looking into tunics before, but I've heard it a couple times. Definitely want to check out some jeggings. I have some men's section pants that are pretty damn close already, so it's really not that big of a leap. Plus my partner occasionally mentions my ass is more shapely than hers 😂 I've also considered some of those yoga pants/leggings with the extra butt-shaping areas just to see. It's difficult to pull the trigger though. Even just for home wear.
