Is it weird that I like wearing boys’ clothes?

r/

When I say this I mean the clothes that my guy friends have. I love baggy clothes and traditional men’s shirts but my dad says I should “dress like a girl”. Because of this I barely have any guy clothes.

So I like borrowing and wearing my male friends’ clothes. Even when I don’t have anything underneath. I love how comfortable they are and how small it makes me feel. I have some of them on in my posts too lol.

The guys never have an issue with me wearing their shirts and hoodies though. But idk if this is weird or not.

I don’t just mean general men’s clothes. Im basically asking if guys mind when girls wear their clothes in general?

    Lol girls wear guys’ stuff all the time, so its whatever.

    Lol that said, I highly doubt your guy friends would mind you wearing their clothes, they might even encourage it knowing you dont wear anything underneath.

    It’s not weird… in fact, it’s pretty bloody common! Wear what you want. There are so few things most of us have any control of in our lives, wearing what clothes you want is one of them, so be unapologetic in your enjoyment of them.

    My daughters like having pockets, so sometimes go to the boys section.

    One said she will only get her work clothes from Brooks Brothers when she’s older.

    Bruh, NGL, this ain’t weird at all. Wear whatever tf makes u comfy and happy. It’s 2022, not 1950. Guys typically don’t mind unless they’re losing all their hoodies lol. Don’t let old school gender norms box u in – live your best life! 🙌👊💯

    I wore boys clothes all through middle school. They were looser and more comfortable, especially with all the feminine things puberty brings. The hoodies were also thicker and warmer, which was a godsend in high air-conditioning areas.

    You should wear what you like and what makes you feel comfortable. Everyone has their own fashion, and with very few exceptions, there is no wrong way to dress. You are an individual and your wardrobe should represent what makes you happy and feel like you.

    My daughter loves pockets. She actually found a prom dress 6 years ago when she went that had pockets. I say you do you. Wear what makes you comfortable. And your dad isn’t right telling you to “dress like a girl”. Not everyone likes pink or wearing dresses or crop tops and short shorts.

    Your guy friends may think you like them if you keep wearing their cloths. I lost a hoody to a girl in college for months not realizing she kept it because she wanted my sent whenever she wanted. I was a pretty oblivious guy at the time. When I demanded it back, she was kinda sad.

    Get your own money; and buy the clothes you want to wear. That’s my advice.

    I used to wear my boyfriends’ clothes all the time when I was in my 20s. Now I’m in my 60s so I don’t do that but I would never judge someone my age who does that. I just would not feel cute at this age wearing men’s clothing. But if you’re comfortable, that is all that matters.

    Not weird. Ignore your dad.

    No.

    Clothes are clothes and that goes both ways. The pressure that put certain types of cuts of fabric onto certain genders is entirely fake. It’s been really odd to see it becoming such a closely followed thing again, it didn’t used to be.

    So, weird question here. Please feel free to ignore if it makes you uncomfortable.

    How do you feel if/when people use masculine pronouns to refer to you?

    I have always preferred mens clothing as well, very rare occasions I would actually want to dress feminine, never bothered anyone. My partner and I don’t even have a separate wardrobe now, it’s just all our shirts, only jeans and maybe underwear we have of our own😂 though I love wearing his boxers as well lol🤷‍♀️ mens clothes are just more comfy and practical! Felt this was since I wasn’t even a teen yet, still feel this way as a 33yo woman🤷‍♀️

    No. You should wear whatever the hell you want.

    Mens clothes are traditionally made better and designed to be practical and long lasting.

    Straight adult woman here, I’m way more comfortable in loose/oversized “masculine” clothing than in tight jeans, crop tops etc. I don’t see anything wrong with it if I’m comfortable and happy, and neither does my boyfriend, bless him.

    Don’t let anyone tell you how to dress. They’d probably have a problem if you told them how to dress.

    You do you.

    This is extremely common, and I also dealt with these types of comments from my parents.

    Basically wear whatever you want as long as you are presentable for the public space you’ll be in

    Women and hoodies is a dangerous combo. Remember, you’re BORROWING it xD

    In fact, it’s common for girls to dress in guys’ clothes. In reality you can tell your father that you wear the clothes you want

    Nah. Just don’t go around wearing sagging pants that expose the boxers.

    I have a friend who is a woman who used to wear all mens’ clothes. (AKA a “drag king”.)

    I asked her why once, when we were shopping together. She told me to find some outfits that fit me. In like 2 minutes I had 6 outfits in my size in my hands. She then took me to the womens’ department… in 2 hours we found one dress in her size. and it was an ugly matronly olive green dress.

    So, I don’t blame any woman who wants to wear mens’ clothes. They’re SO much easier to choose at the store.

    I’m sure it’s quite common for girls to wear boy’s clothes. I certainly did. Like you say, it’s big and comfy.

    It depends on the religion, the culture, and the guy.

    “Guys” aren’t all the same just because they share one label any more than “girls” or all the same because they do.

    It’s a little weird. But in no way is weird a bad thing. I’m weird and most of my friends are too.

    Your dad sounds misogynistic ngl

  28. Eldernerdhub Avatar

    They’re just clothes. In America we’d call you a tomboy. Some parents do complain because they tend to be traditional. If this is the only teenage rebellion you have then your dad is a whiner.

    Wear what makes you comfortable. I, personally, love oversized and baggy clothing. I think it makes people look cute. But that’s a personal taste, not some universal shit. AND nothing is universal.

    The idea that you HAVE to wear the traditional clothing for your gender is ludicrously outdated. Wear what you like. Wear what’s comfortable, that makes you feel awesome.

    ANYONE ELSE’S OPINION IS JUST THEIR OPINION.

    Why not buy mens clothes that fit the way you want them to? That’s what my wife does

    Its ok to be a tomboy 🤷🏽‍♂️🙏🏽

    Your dad is saying you should dress like a girl either because he is insecure, or he doesn’t think you’re secure enough to deal with how you’ll be judged in public. Either way, the way to deal with the issue is to acquire some clothing that you like and assure your dad that you feel safe in them, both at home and around town.

    That being said, there will be family and other events where it will be polite to moderate your appearance. It’s what most people do eventually to be professional. Bear the discomfort and repeated comments about how you should dress like that more often for the day and then get on with life.

    Girls wearing guys clothing is so normalized you probably won’t even stand out much. Guys wearing girls clothing tends to attract alot more attention and assumptions on the other hand.

    I’m a guy and unless it’s something special or professional I only wear leggings because they are so funky (I get some really funky ones!). I’m not gay or trans but it wouldn’t matter if I was tbf.

    Super common. I think most of us have lost a sweater or two to exes who could not give them up.

    Dress in whatever you want. As long as you’re not hurting anyone, why does it matter what you wear.

    “mens clothes”, “women’s clothes” if you think about it, it’s all just colorful fabric. Nothing makes our clothes inherently for men or women. It’s all made-up societal construct. Society has rigid expectations for how men and women should present but wearing what you want doesn’t effect your gender or sexual orientation. Enjoy the styles that you like unapologetically. If people judge you it comes from a place of hurt, anger, and judgement within themselves. Sexism and the patriarchy is the cause for fashion expectations on men and women. Fight the patriarchy, dress however the f you want! Confidence and kindness are the most attractive qualities in a person. That’s all you need. So wear what makes you feel comfortable and confident. Plus men’s clothes are often more practical. Pockets, comfy loose fit, thicker more durable material. I only wear girly clothes if I’m trying to impress someone.

    My general rule of thumb is “wear what makes you feel the most like YOU”.

    They fit better and are more comfortable and have actual, functional pockets. Be practical, not sexualized.

    Under your profile it literally says “French teen with a love for fashion…”

    Post asks “do guys mind when I wear their clothes.” LOL

    No, no guy – at least in America – cares when a girl that he’s fucking wears his clothes.
