Butch Attire & Fashion

Holly.88 · 08-08-2011, 12:38 PM

I dress for comfort first, fashion second, weather third. That's not to say that I have some terrible sense of fashion though. Depending on the weather, you can find me in any combination of the following:

Straight leg jeans, never baggy
T-shirts, from band tees to everything else
Solid color polos
Knee length shorts, once again never baggy
Plain ole brown boots/flip flops/Converse
One of my many fitted caps

If I'm going somewhere that I need to look a little more put together I'll wear a nice pair of jeans/khakis/or other slacks, a button up shirt, sleeves always rolled up, a nice or new polo, maybe a tie.

Depends on the job and occassion. Lately my fashion choice of clothing consists of variety of jeans in different blues loose fitting. (Lucky, Wrangler, Sean Jean, Dickies, Silver Tab). Graphic T-Shirts, polos, button down shirts long and short sleeve. I have a couple pairs of nice black pants and tan pants,dress shirts, sweaters, and a few ties. A dockers black jacket. A pair of black shoes, a couple pair of brown leather shoes, a pair of roper boots, a couple pairs of flip flops, different colors of cargo shorts, basketball shorts, and jean shorts. Got to have a variety of sneakers in different colors (Nike and DC). All kinds of ball caps with sports teams and brand name logos, a couple cowboy hats. My favorite places to shop are American Eagle, Aeropostale, Kohls, Ross, and Brass Buckle. My hair style and cut changes everytime I get a haircut to short, mid length, spiky, faux hawk, straight. Gotta have some paste or wax to put in it. I'm a dude that enjoys a day of shopping!

I probably would have been drooling. o.o

I tend to notice shoes, but that's because I love shoes. Also, the haircut. And yes, definitely notice how those blue jeans fit

But to me, if the smile is genuine, the kind of smile that lights up their eyes, everything else is accessories

Meanwhile, I'm loving this thread. Maybe I'll be more help to my butch sweetie next time we're shopping for something she needs. Keep talking! You're educating the populace *LOL*

(or at least this girly girl)

Checking around in here for ideas. I have recently gone through some changes that give me the opportunity to reinvent myself as far as appearance goes. I used to (quite a while ago) dress in highly tailored very good quality suits for business and sort of sweatshirts and jeans for around the house and hiking/outdoor gear for well, hiking. Then I went back to school and changed careers to something that doesn't care what I wear, became morbidly obese, and sort of lost my sense of self along the way. I have now dropped most of the weight and have to make some choices about how I want to look now that I can fit into things I like. Times have changed, I have aged, and not being especially social, I don't really see or frankly notice what people wear anymore. I like to be comfortable yet presentable and my outlook on acquisition of material items has changed, preferring to scour about in thrift shops instead of designer digs. So far I am sticking to mostly jeans and trousers with sweaters or no logo t-shirts and button downs in long and short sleeves. I am however a stickler for quality fabrics and workmanship, and now that I can, I seek things that fit very well. Most of what I am actually wearing right now is summer attire, structured shorts just above the knee and decent polos or thin sweaters when the beach gets chilly. I don't want too many items, just what will get me through. If anyone has suggestions for must have basic staples, I would appreciate the advice. Kind of just don't want to frighten children on the street sort of thing, lol, my crew cut already confuses folks.
