And remember that the Beatles did it ! They wore women's pants as did members of the Who, the Stones, and Mick Jagger. And isn't it Lenny Krafitz who likes women's blouses? I know Prince did. With that said, the reality is that some people WILL find it weird. And it will take courage to to do it. But do it. And remember that you are in some awesome and VERY fashionable male company. ( it is so weird to me that this the one area where women have more freedom : clothes. We can wear men's clothes and it is "fashionable". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-it-weird-if-a-dude-buys-clothes-in-the-womens-department#post-1792288 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 17:03:28 +0000 rachylou 1792288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember having this conversation before and that pic of the pink chucks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-it-weird-if-a-dude-buys-clothes-in-the-womens-department#post-1792217 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 14:52:05 +0000 Thirkellgirl 1792217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I'm the only one who has this opinion, but it's not the first time.

So self aware rather than like most confident in what there doing so can draw more attention to your self!<br />As i wear a bra every day as need the support as there tender/sore esp if loose plus got more growth as a G cup+ so more than a handful and bra dependant get quite a lot of projection I'm always wary of what wearing as do like to be discrete if can? so choose bra wisely as like my sports bra brings them in while others project but probably most people wouldn't notice other's not care even or like some find get approval!<br />So much is what's in your mind than other's! and worry unnecessarily.<br />But why shouldn't either sex be able to browse where ever in all honesty plus boundaries are slowly creaking under the weight of non conformists of social genders etc and some people are so relaxed/open about others habits while some are real Dinosaur/knuckle draggers too worst luck males are the worst but even some females are bad mind many of those love Knuckle draggers so says about it all!</p> <p>Funny enough i just got delivery today of a nice long blouse i liked look of just saw&amp;thought nice as know some wear that have breasts now so thought i'd have a try myself mind is quite sheer so can see my bra! but then if can't see them anyway well? but i wear a loose sleeveless top anyway but il see if fits better but i also wear matching briefs anyway as they fit me better than pants as wider in the hips/thighs so much more comfy also.<br />So to me just go out and do your thing as life is just to dam short to worry as spend far too much time worrying you'll never live/get anything done<br />So if it's not illegal/Dangerous/Harmful to you or others&amp;not harming females or Children just get out&amp;do it enjoy yourself.</p> <p>plus far more nice colours&amp;details to most male bore wear <br />&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-it-weird-if-a-dude-buys-clothes-in-the-womens-department#post-1792178 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 13:32:17 +0000 approprio 1792178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nope, not weird at all.

It depends on the fit of the clothing. There are times where I chose a men's shirt over a woman's shirt. I think considering all options and exploring new items can be a great choice in updating any wardrobe. I would also like to add:<br /> I LOVE a maxi skirt or pleated skirt with a vintage tee. This will look great no matter what gender you are. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-it-weird-if-a-dude-buys-clothes-in-the-womens-department#post-1792038 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 01:04:32 +0000 Anonymous 1792038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a good question. &nbsp;I doubt I would give it a second thought so I am guessing it is not weird. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-it-weird-if-a-dude-buys-clothes-in-the-womens-department#post-1792021 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 00:16:05 +0000 Peter 1792021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://i.imgur.com/WrChlMC.jpg">http://i.imgur.com/WrChlMC.jpg</a> </p>
