Clothes are a big part of expressing yourself as a woman – but it’s something a lot of girls struggle with (including genetic girls).

Do you sometimes feel like a participant on the TV show, What Not to Wear? Is putting outfits together a mystery to you?

Just follow this simple 5-step formula and I promise you’ll never look like a transgender fashion “don’t” again!

1. Start with a basic piece

The foundation for your outfit should be a basic piece in a neutral color. Examples of basic pieces include: a classic a-line skirt, solid black pants, or a jacket in a neutral color.

2. Add an interest piece

The next step is to add an interest piece that will make your outfit POP. This should be something with color, pattern, texture, or shine.

Yes, you can pair basic pieces and neutral colors together, but that’s boring! You’ll look so much younger, prettier, and more feminine if you incorporate something fun or colorful into your outfit. Examples of interest pieces include: a lace top, a brightly colored dress, or a floral skirt.

3. Choose your shoes

Shoes make or break your outfit, so choose wisely. A pair of hot heels can make a basic outfit nightclub-worthy, while the wrong shoes can make you look frumpy and outdated no matter how cute the rest of your outfit is.

Here are 2 rules for choosing shoes:

• Consider the occasion. Formal events call for heels and shiny, sparkly styles. Casual events call for flats and casual styles.

• Consider the color. Neutral colors like brown or black always work, but don’t be afraid to play with color. A pair of beautiful shoes in an unexpected color can raise you to the fashionista level.

One tip: If you’re wearing a bright color, don’t match your shoes exactly to your outfit. It tends to look clownish. Instead, try a related accent color for an edgier look.

4. Add accessories

The next step is to add accessories, including jewelry, scarves, belts, hosiery, sunglasses, etc. Have some fun with this!

My only rule for crossdressers and transgender women is to go for bold accessories that match your larger features. Big earrings, large bracelets, and statement necklaces work better for your proportions than dainty pieces.

5. Finish with a handbag

The final step is to finish your outfit with a handbag. Here are 2 things to consider:

• Consider the occasion. If it’s a formal event, go for a clutch or a structured handbag. If it’s a casual event, go for a slouchy bag in a casual fabric like leather, suede, or canvas. (The more structured the handbag, the dressier it looks.)

• Consider the color. Neutral colors will give you the most mileage, but brightly colored handbags are very “in” right now. Don’t worry about the old rule about matching your bag to your shoes – it doesn’t apply anymore.

And there you go! A perfect outfit.
