    If this thread doesn't fit in in the category/website I am so sorry, but I felt like this was the best place I could find where I could ask this question.

    So, I'm a girl, soon to be 18 and not really comfortable in typical feminine clothing: dresses, blouses, clothing that shows some more skin, cleavage etc. This is something that doesn't bother me a lot in my everyday life, because I can totally get away with wearing just t-shirts and stuff like that. But, recently I have started going to parties and soon I'm old enough for clubbing. This means that a t-shirt sometimes isn't acceptable, and I'm kind of expected to wear the kind of clothes that I mentioned earlier. This makes me feel kinda uncomfortable because I just never know what to wear? I don't have any friends to ask because we don't share the same style, they just recommend me a dress. I have worn a (quite basic) long-sleeved shirt, and I feel like I can't wear that all the time...It gets kinda boring.
    So please, all help is welcome! Also, sorry if this thread isn't supposed to be here...

    I also don't wear makeup, so I can't use som fancy makeup to "make up" for the basic clothing.

    I'd classify this as gender expression, so you're good.

    You might be able to find a more conservative sweater that is fancy enough. Perhaps you could wear a button up shirt. My sister usually wears cardigans when she doesn't feel like revealing too much. What is it, exactly, that discomforts you about more traditionally feminine clothing?

    Maybe a fancy top and skinny jeans? Some cool shoes to go with that, and you have a variety of options with shoes, high heels, but it can be sneakers if you you prefer, boots... A shirt sounds like a good idea too.

    Button-up dress shirts and nice sweaters are a pretty safe bet when dressing-up. There`s also women`s sport jackets (blazers) you could put on top if you want to look a bit more formal and some nice slacks.
