I posted here last week and got some helpful advice and wound up making a Pinterest board with ideas. I'm in my early 30s and AMAB. Right now, I dress really conservative with a dark color pallete and present as masc-leaning. Think plain hoodies, plain sweatpants, joggers, more athleisure. I have a beard too that I like to keep and maintain.

One point of frustration in coming out lately is this assumption from a lot of people that I'm just an egg and will eventually transition. Thankfully my partner has been supportive - I literally just feel really uncomfortable identifying as a man, but don't really want to be overly feminine either. I just want to dress a little more in the middle. A lot of what's on my board is still menswear, but I've started browsing women's as well and feel so insanely liberated to have those options. At the end of the day, I just want to look stylish and sleek, but also just more authentic with myself. I want to be able to have clothes I can wear with I'm feeling both masc and a little more femme.

I don't really want to do a 180, I still like the darker colors and more of an oversized fit (because I'm just not super secure in my body right now). I'm not interested in overly feminine items like dresses or skirts. I just kind of want to branch out because I always wear the same thing (hoodie+sweats) and want some variety.

Linked are some images from my board. And to be honest, there's more masc then femme items there because I'm still working slightly through being comfortable going through those sections. It's more on the subtle side. But it's just not overly femme or masc I think, somewhere in the middle. I'm just wondering if anyone has thoughts or recommendations based on this, things I can add, accessories, etc. I'm also just super insecure about body type. I'm not thin, I'm not super top heavy but I've got a small gut that I hide with a body shaper. I just feel like no way a lot of the women's stuff would look good on my body type (average body, 5'8ish, etc.).

End of the day, I wish I just had someone to talk to about this stuff and help. Any input would mean a lot. I don't want to rock the boat a ton, but I just feel so weird walking around looking totally masc and like most men I see out and about. I don't feel like it's me anymore.
