    Slightly underdressed! Partially because I don’t look as good in all of the styles that I wish I could pull off (who does?), but also because I try to spin that negative mindset into using my position of being a feminine enby to help lower the social/beauty standards of how women are expected to look 24/7. Not trying to sound annoyingly altruistic in my answer…I just find it healing on how I perceive myself compared to other women, and it helps ground my expectations of myself just a bit.

    Underdressed, always.

    I just turn on my posh English accent and be a little over-familiar in my mannerisms - voila I’m eccentric, rather than a slob.

    Always over, you can take off something or adust. Tie to much take it off and put it in a pocket. Jacket to much sling it over an arm. Button up a bit much undo a button and roll up the sleeves…

      If you’re wearing masculine clothes then yeah, sure.

      How are you going to adjust a dress and heels to appear more casual?

        Oops fair point. Missed what sub I was in!

        Not sure what I would do in that situation other than have options in a gym bag or something.

        It really is easier for masq in this scenario.

          This sub is only for women to post in (trans women and enbies included) - I’m nod a mod, but I know that they would appreciate it if you didn’t post in here again.

          Thanks for being honest, though :-)

            Yeah I try to respect that boundary but sometimes I just miss the details because I always sort by new!

          If it’s cold enough, yeah absolutely … but then you’re bringing extra things to dress down rather than turning up and the making changes on the spot.

          I do have a very light flowery scarf that can go in a bag, though that’s more to dress-up how I usually look, lol

            That’s literally the reason I carry a bag and I don’t even have this curse, lol. I’m just always a little too warm or too cold

              Ah yes, also a problem of a different sort!

              I’m temporarily back home for a holiday, and after living near the equator with constant temperature, the swings here between 13°C at night and 28° in the middle of the day are really throwing me for a loop :-/

    For fashion, for social occasion, or for the weather? For the weather I’d rather be underdressed bc I’m always hot.

    For fashion and social occasion overdressing is fun but I insist on comfortable shoes.
