Summer Style Mistakes to Avoid MTF

 The warm weather is here and that means it’s time to show some skin!

Summer has its own unique style advantages and challenges. What’s the secret to looking stylish and elegant as the temperature rises?

In this post – specifically for crossdressers and transgender women – I outline 6 summer style mistakes to avoid. Read on to learn more!

Mistake #1 – Too-Short Shorts

Many crossdressers and transgender women have beautiful legs. You should definitely show them off if you want to!

The mistake is wearing shorts that are too short or too tight. As soon as you start walking, the shorts ride up and show more than you intended. Keep it classy and chose shorts of a decent length.

Mistake #2 – Heavy Makeup

Not only does heavy makeup look out of place in the summer, it can run and look cakey if you start to sweat.

Skip the vampy lipstick, heavy foundation, and thick eye makeup. Go for a lighter look instead. You’ll look much more fresh and feminine.

Mistake #3 – Self-Tanner Faux Pas

We all know that baking in the sun can lead to wrinkles and skin cancer. Sunless tanner is a great way to get that sun-kissed glow. However, using the wrong tanner (or applying it incorrectly) is a definite DON’T.

There’s nothing worse than an orange or streaky looking tan, so check the tanner’s product reviews and learn how to apply it properly. This video has some great tips.

Mistake #4 – Flip Flops

Nothing says summer like flip flops, but the wrong sandals can ruin your entire outfit.

Flip flops are great for the beach or poolside, but they can look too casual or sloppy at other times. Instead, opt for sandals with more style and structure, like the ones below.

Mistake #5 – Visible Bra Straps

Strappy summer styles can make underwear a challenge. Visible bra straps can make you look less than polished. Here are some solutions:

• Use a bra strap clip to help keep bra straps under control.
• Wear a strapless bra or go braless with pasties/nipple covers to avoid bra straps altogether.

Mistake #6 – Sloppy Style

Summer styles are typically more casual and laid back. Just be careful not to cross the line from casual to sloppy.

It’s common to see women in ragged cut offs, dirty flip flops, and worn out tank tops. Why not stand out in classy shorts, pretty dresses, and casual but polished pieces instead?
