Tips for straight men who are into cross dressing

LegacyUser

I have a thing for cross dressing, tried on a few knickers, leggings and bras when I was young, and looking to fully cross dress but I would feel embarrassed about going into a shop and buying women's clothes or make up/cosmetics. I could ask my ex girlfriend who I'm friends with now to buy some but it would feel weird. I also always think of asking her to put make up on me but again it would feel weird. By the way I'm coming here as a straight man that is into cross dressing.

Could you avail of online shopping if you feel awkward about going into actual stores?

there are a couple of real girls who offer escorted shopping trips for a fee, check on gumtree or Gaire for dressing services. BTW I'm the same as you and have done a fair bit of buying for myself. Basically you're like any other customer, your money is as good as anyone elses ! Pennys, Evans, Sugarbabe and a few other places are fine with guys buying female clothes and shoes. Ann Summers staff don't bat an eyelid, and the stockings stall in the Ilac the lady there is very helpful. (not bad looking either lol!

As far as anyone else knows, you are in shopping for your wife or girlfriend, so they aren't going to think it's weird seeing a man buying womens clothing. Even if they do, they serve so many customers during the day they will have forgotten about you minutes after you have left the store.

Hey OP, I have to echo the poster above me- if you are just buying the clothes without trying on, then as far as anyone knows you're buying a present. I shop for myself almost exclusively in the mens departments, and tbh no-one ever bats an eyelid. And if they do, who gives a crap? They'll forget about you fast enough once you're gone. If you don't want to try stuff on in the shop, then look up the shops website, find the measurements for their clothes and find your size. Go, buy it, bring it home and try it on there. If it doesn't fit, just bring it back and get a refund. You'll soon find a couple of shops that make clothes that fit a bit better than others.

I find Evans very good - helpful too. The better charity shops often have nice stuff, Tescos and Pennys too. I don't ever pretend it's for someone else, none of their business.
