Hi Hannah, how do you feel about masculine men who just love the lingerie aspect of this lifestyle? Or, men who wear women's clothing but still may want to keep their facial hair?
Lingerie is for EVERYONE, regardless of your gender identity and/or your physical features. Although lingerie is typically associated with femininity and it often enhances one's feeling of femininity, there's no rule that beautiful bras and stockings are just for people who identify as feminine. I think ANYONE and EVERYONE who wears ANYTHING that makes them feel AMAZING or BEAUTIFUL or SEXY is strong and confident, regardless if it's a nightie or a tuxedo or a little black dress.
And really, confidence is what makes someone sexy. Lingerie can help us with how we feel, but unless it helps us feel confident then the most beautiful bra and panty in the world doesn't really matter. It's the person who wears it that makes it sexy.
One thing I love about XDress is how inclusive their models are when it comes to their bodies. Yes, there are cute guys who have thin, lithe bodies, but there are also beautiful, muscular men who have arms that could crush a Honda Accord while wearing a merrywidow with clear platform heels AND they would look absolutely gorgeous doing it.
Don't think about your body or lingerie as masculine or feminine (unless you want to). Gender isn't and doesn't have to be either. I suppose it's more accurate to say to not let your body or how you feel or identity to limit what you wear. If the bra fits, then the bra was designed for you. Your panties don't care if you have the most amazing beard in the world.
Love, Hannah

I am 57 and have been crossdressing all my life. But never come out. I adore getting home and putting my lingerie on and I adore wearing my lingerie under my clothes when I can. I am divorced because of my crossdressing but my new partner let’s me do what I need to do and indulge my femme side. I would go mad without my crossdressing
I’m a fairly masculine man. I’ve got a beard and mustache, a hairy chest and body and I dress in typically male clothes. I have no desire for any of that to be different however, I also love to wear lingerie. My underwear choices are generally very feminine in style. Day to day I wear panties and when I’m relaxing I’ll often put on other lingerie, maybe a bra or stockings with a garter belt, etc. I particularly like to dress up in lingerie when I share intimacy with my wife, and I am definitely more passionate when I wear feminine underwear. My wife accepts my choice of underwear and has realised over time that it has no reflection on my masculinity. She’s also told me that she enjoys my heightened passion when I dress up and encourages me to buy and try different styles of lingerie. It’s probably important to point out that it wasn’t always like this. When I first told her, she had doubts and questions, but these were overcome as she realised it didn’t represent a desire for me to be feminine beyond the underwear I like to wear. I’m happy being a masculine man, albeit my underwear choices are definitely not. I’m lucky to be able to wear lingerie openly with my wife and not be made to feel less masculine.
I love both sides of me,, which in turn is really one of me. I have my very masculine energy out building stuff and working in the garage, and my feminine energy side of my in lingerie and a beautiful skirt and blouse. Interesting thing y girlfriend said to me was, I love your authenticity and I love your confidence when you are you. She appreciates the confidence that I have where if I’m wearing my lingerie or a dress, that I have the courage to go for it, and not hide behind it. She also appreciates my masculine side when I’m in that energy. As per this post, yes, yes you can be masculine in lingerie. I get the luxury of doing it everyday! Just being me!
Scott u said it better than I could. I m trying to get to a professional makeover service. Thats on the bucket list.
I totally agree with this. I am as masculine as a man can be on the outside. But once I slip into a pair of super glossy stw or gloss seamless pantyhose, I become very feminine. I love pantyhose. Been wearing them since I can remember. I’m 54 now. I shave my body once a week and then I slip into my pantyhose and pick out one of my many xdress satin chemise to wear with my pantyhose. I feel amazing in pantyhose and satin. I also love wearing dresses and getting fully made up. Crossdressing helps me cope with life but it doesn’t change who I am. I like my masculine side and I love my feminine side. They both define who I am.
