Any clothing ideas for a mtf to ease into non-masc stuff? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I hope my enby peeps can help me out here.

I am very interested in exploring a more feminine expression, but my starting point is masc-af physically, so anything too feminine too quick is going to have a very hard contrast and I'm definitely more of an "I don't want to stick out much" kind of person.

Any ideas that may be more androgynous, but not attention grabbing that I can try out? I am not good at picking outfits anyway, so I need all the help I can get.

Like beard and full body hair, so obviously lower cut stuff could be very dysmophic atm.

Maybe something that just feelsmore feminine but may not look it so much. You know? Does this make sense?

I'd start with clothes that aren't feminine directly, but feminine adjacent. There are plenty of clothing that is solely marketed to women (looking at you capris) that can totally be worn by anyone without any questioning.

Id also like to believe halter tops fall into that category, but apparently exposed shoulders and or back is totally feminine..

But others have made solid suggestions too.

Subtly feminine is exactly what I'm looking for. Something that may feel like it to me, or remind me, but may not be noticeable without looking closely. I suppose this would be easier once it cools down. I haven't gotten the fingers polished yet, but I love my grown out nails and taping them on things can be so satisfying. But, til recently, they're just slightly long, they don't stick out, but I means a lot to me.
