Autumn is coming around and I'm realising very quickly that my existing autumn wardrobe is really not gender affirming :(
I'm going to try to order a bunch of new clothes and really take my time thinking about what I want and need. Scariest thing is definitely getting clothes that I can wear to work because my coworkers don't know I'm nonbinary and I've been especially closeting myself in terms of clothing and accessories. I'm not sure if I'm ready for the conversation but I'm also noticing that I'll soon hit a point where presenting masc every day will just break me.
Advice is definitely appreciated. I really don't like where I'm at rn but at the same time I also feel like a coward for being afraid to change anything.
some of my favorite femme clothes are bulky cozy sweaters (especially with big buttons) and knit ponchos. infinity scarves are another one! lots of femme clothes are all about layering, so you could take that into account, too. i’m not particularly femme in how i dress, but those are things i’ll always reach for because i’m always cold in the office.
i’d also recommend browsing tumblr or pinterest with tags for fall/autumn fashion. you would probably be able to narrow down what you like/dislike from what’s presented there.
Thank you 🙏
