I'm not trans or a lesbian or anything like that. I feel more comfortable wearing clothes that are kinda butch though, and mostly get my stuff from Old Navy's young mens section.My parents told me it's "perverted" to wear guy clothes though. My friends act like its weird too. Are they right?
It sounds like you're exploring your style, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that! Fashion is a way of expressing yourself, and it doesn’t have to follow any set rules based on gender. It's totally okay to wear clothes that make you feel comfortable, whether they're from the men's section, women's section, or anywhere in between. Your parents and friends might be reacting based on their own beliefs or cultural norms, but that doesn’t make their opinions a definitive rule. People often have their own biases, and just because they might not understand your choices doesn’t mean you're doing anything wrong. If wearing "butch" clothes feels authentic to you and gives you confidence, that’s what matters most.Remember, fashion is personal and should make *you* feel good. It’s important to stand by your own comfort and style, even if others don’t fully understand it. If you ever feel like talking it through with your friends or family, you could explain why it feels right to you, but ultimately, you're the one who should decide what works for you.
>>32595871The question should be, are these people worth fitting in with or not?Dress according to who you want to fit in with. Butch clothes can be very chic and fashionable or make you look like a slob, depends. Don't dress like one of the froggy-voiced pudgy TIFs, nobody likes them, not even each other.
>>32595877I'm scared they're going to misinterpret my reasons for liking guy clothes as "being trans or a lesbo" because they seem to treat everything I do as a sign of that and they keep pressuring me to come back to church because of it whenever I see them.
>>32595871Joan of Arc was burned alive for wearing men's clothing
>>32595871>Are they right?No. Your friends and parents are fucking retarded. I'm 30 and dress like a 14 year old boy because it's comfy and I don't care how I look most of the time. It has nothing to do with anything else.>>32596414You can't control what they think. Just explain to them why you're doing it and that's all you can do. What bullshit they make up in their own minds isn't your responsibility.
>>32595871It's uncommon but not "weird". Plenty of guys love the androgynous / tomboy look, but to some it might be less appealing than boring traditional garb. Wear it with confidence, own your look.
>>32595871>Are they right?Not even slightly. Fuck the haters. Wear whatever the fuck you want.
>>32595871As long as you're not a queer and will eventually get married to a nice guy you like one day and have children, wear whatever the fuck you want
>>32595871Wear guys jeans/shorts and rub it in their faces when you fit your phone, wallet, keys, lunch, Webster's Dictionary, and half your friends shit in your pockets lol
>>32595871As long as you know that some people are going to misinterpret it, and you can live with that, go your own way.

>>32595871There is no culture and there are no standards. Standard casual clothing is now just pajamas or athletic wear. Wear whatever you want.
