it's okay!
Let's get some shit out of the way here.
-
your chub looks great in a crop top, I swear. Start believing it, others do.
-
your chest/belly hair looks great too
Alright, with that business out of the way, proceed.

Yaaass free hairy bellies :3
ok but what about I don't have the same build as the person in the cartoon
Something that helped me to feel more comfortable wearing crop tops was when a friend was complaining about her mum being iffy about my friend wearing crop tops; "Yeah, I get it, I'm chubby! People can see that regardless of if I wear a crop top. Anyone who would think I look gross in a crop top already think that of me no matter what I wear, so I don't care about dressing up for them".
This helped me to realise that because of my misgivings about my body, I tended to swamp myself in clothes that I hated, making myself look and feel worse. People being assholes can make it scarier to dress in ways that make us happy, but I can guarantee you that there are people who would find your body in a crop top to be distractingly hot/pretty.
I sure don't and it doesn't stop me. And I'm irresistible.
It's all in the way you carry yourself.
Aren't skirts and dresses supposed to give proper ventilation for your dick?
Well, that and hide more knives on your body.
An important feature that shouldn't be overlooked.
I like how they also outlined the brain
You mean the spider?
Is that what that is? Huh... Guess I should have zoomed in more
I think the Scottish figured that one out
Eveyone should be cute and pretty :3
Need more places that sell crop tops and skirts in men's sizes :( most of the places that do are selling fetishwear that's kinda poor quality. Also, I personally hate ordering things online, and prefer being able to try clothes on in a store before I buy them, but that is very heavily discouraged for people who look masc.
Edit: Just so other femboys know, there is one brick and mortar store you can absolutely go to; your local queer thriftstore! If you don't have a local queer thriftstore...idk man that's a sign to move in the current political climate. My post is more just saying we need more.
So I'm a woman who loves shopping. But I'm a very short woman and I prefer to shop from the petite section - for most stores, petites are only offered online, if they're offered at all
So I do a LOT of online shopping and returning. I would also prefer to be able to try things on in stores before purchasing, but a lot of times I literally don't have that option. So essentially I try stuff in the privacy of my own home. I prefer to shop online from stores in my area and then return in-person, but a lot of places offer free mail returns too.
Point is, if you're returning women's clothes to a store, no one needs to know they were ordered for you. Maybe you're shopping for your wife, maybe she's disabled so she can't get out and shop for herself, or maybe you just love buying her presents. Nothing is stopping you from lying to cashiers if they asked - but usually it's just "was anything wrong with the item" and you just say "no it just didn't work out/didn't fit her/I ordered two sizes and she's keeping the one that fits."
The best stores will list either garment measurements or suggested physical measurements for the sizes they offer. If you know your own measurements, this should help you make informed decisions until you get to know your sizes at various brands (...and even then, it will still vary widely! 😏)
Looking at women's plus size options may show you options that are more accommodating of broader shoulders, etc.
Oh don't get me wrong, I know my sizes and have places to shop online. Femboy apparel is also a rapdily growing market, and I try to keep fresh with new sites.
I'm just a weird romantic. I like the nostalgic idea of going to a mall with friends, trying on some clothes, and buying maybe one thing. There's a lot more issues with buying things physically in general now, beyond just my niche. Finding a mall that doesn't scream "beached whale" is tough nowadays, so it's just longing for a simpler time.
I'm also kinda an asshole speaking from a place of privilege, because I live in a place large enough to have a queer district where I can thrift. That's basically Femboy Aeropostale. I just think it would be cool if there was a chain that catered to femme attire for men.
I (AMAB) usually go into the women's section to buy crop tops and skirts. While being a European S, I need something like L or XL in the women's section. So my advice would be to just browse the women's section and add two sizes to your regular size.
Sewing machines are cheap and tailoring is surprisingly easy to learn. I have a very uncommon physique so pretty much nothing from a store fits me, tailoring my own clothes has been a big boost to my looks, and towards clothes feeling comfortable
everyone talking about kilts is in the wrong thread. this is about wearing skirts.
I think kilts can be a good gateway drug towards skirts
can you become addicted to kilts ?
Most definitely. An English legend says that this is why Scottish people talk funny.
it's okay to be attractive
If only I could
skirts are some of the most efficient and comfortable clothes and it’s honestly bullshit i can’t wear them without being called slurs
Not for me unfortunately. The inner parts of my thighs get very sore when I wear my kilt :(
Don't need a skirt for that.
Ok but I actually want that skirt... where can I find one?
If you're from the eu, I'd suggest looking on emp
Sadly I'm no longer in the EU... (Thanks Brexit.......)
They ship to the uk
I don't think anyone wants to be looking at my gut
there are folks who would sexually objectify your gut, don’t even play with me dog
ngl skirts sound pretty comfortable
To be honest I feel very attractive when I'm wearing a nice suit and tie.
But I wear comfy clothes, joggers and hoodies, because it's comfy. Most guys don't give a fuck about looking good.
Only if I get somebody to bend me over.
My thighs rub against each other and get very sore when I wear my kilt. I always need to wear some kind of trunks/briefs with longer legs underneath to prevent it and it totally ruins the freedom and ventilation aspect :(
Depending on where the rubbing is worst, stockings can help with this (not hold-ups — ones that use a proper belt to keep them up. A good suspender belt should have at least 6 clips, and the clips should be metal). If you wear underwear over the top of the suspender belt, then it's easy to remove it if needed
It's unfortunately right up at the top just below the crotch. So underwear with 15 to 20 cm of leg is the most practical I've found so far.
just be Scottish already
I don't have enough ass to look good in a skirt.
The good news here is that you can build an ass!
A flowy or poofy, rather than fitted, skirt can make your silhouette more ample in that area. Rock whatever you want of course, but being aware of possibilities is nice.
I would love to but i dont think it would suit me. I have a very broad rectangle body
Literally me
