How can a woman dress in a masculine way?

Well, the only advice I have is to wear men's clothes. Something that's typical of a man's clothing. Nowadays, even some of the men's jeans are more feminine. But maybe find one with lots of pockets, something that's a little baggy and screams "male". Layering is also an option in cooler months. A sleeveless shirt with a flannel shirt unbuttoned. Some T-shirt prints are also more masculine. Think John Deere-themed shirts, or sportswear (You favourite sports team supporter's shirt, for example).

But choose the men's option, as the ladies shirts tend to fit more snug, are shorter and sometimes even shaped for the "average" female physique (more snug at the waist, wider at the hips). Men's shirts are typically just straight, and a little longer. You could also accessorize with men's jewelry, like a typical men's watch, masculine rings, and a dog tag with whatever design you like. Maybe something rainbow-y? Footwear also play a huge role in how people are perceived. Choose overly masculine footwear, combat boots for example.

Hairstyles also say a lot about someone (most of the time). Choose a more masculine cut (If that's your thing)...

Those are just some guidelines off the top of my head. Someone else might have better advice

 

God, thank you for asking this! I have been wanting tips in this regard for so long. I really want to dress more masculinely.

 

Good ideas. I would add ties to this list as well. Even if you don't generally wear "formal" wear, a tie loosely knotted around your neck looks masculine, fashionable, and super hot. Hats are also good. Fedoras, baseball caps, all can look masculine. I agree about the cut of the clothes too. Something that doesn't give you the typical feminine shape. Minimal makeup, or none at all. If you wear any, stick to subtle stuff or use darker colors, black eyeliner, plain foundation, etc. Nothing too bright or pastel. Haircut is also important. Obviously the shorter the hair the more masculine you'll look, but it's also about the style. Men can also have long or longish hair and still look masculine. If you want to keep it longer, I think something shoulder length or chin length, with some choppy layers would look good. The layers give it a bit of edge and help pull the look together.

 

Though of course queer girls come in all shapes and sizes and dress in many different styles. Looking masculine is defineitly one way to look possibly queer, but honestly the only think you need to "look" queer is something like a rainbow bracelet. I would notice that right away, even if the girl was dressed super femme, that she probably wasn't straight.

 

So many guys these days go for the hipster look, which is particularly masculine anyway. Myself, I have more of an outlaw biker look, but I don’t think that’s what you are after either

 

The hipster look is really hot on a man or a woman. That's the look I want to adopt for myself. Or something like a skater look.

 

You wouldn’t like me at all then. I’m kind of the anti hipster

 

Also as for "male" jewelry I see a lot of guys, (and lesbians), wear those leather cuff bracelets, or those woven wristband type things. Usually two or three stacked together. For some reason if I'm trying to decide if a girl is queer, I look at her hands and if she has short nails AND a leather bracelet, that really tips the scale to me reading her as queer. Something about leather bracelets stacked together just screams lesbian.

 

Forgot about those... Quite ironic that I have two leather wristbands (Which I don't wear because they're too snug to my liking). I made them myself when I was in the "psych ward"

 

Lol. I recently bought a leather bracelet just for this purpose because it was a trend I was spotting. I don't know what it is, but I just feel more queer while wearing it lol.

 

I do really think that it's also how you wear things. Attitude is so important. You could put two girls in front of me, one dressing slightly more obviously masculine than the other, but one of them having a confident boyish personality and the other not, and I would go for the confident one every time. For me it's the way she acts combined with the clothes that make her stand out.

 

Yes

I’m not a Harley rider but I do have the look. I’m anti hipster in appearance

 

Lol. Yeah you're friends are blind. I would have spotted you a mile away. In my little town you would definitely stand out.

 

I

ts just the way I dress. My appearance.

 

Oh, and please don't think you have to get a motorbike. Those things are dangerous! You'll do just fine without one.
