Hooray for T-shirts!

A lot of advice columns aimed at female-bodied people trying to present themselves in a more masculine/androgynous manners discourage t-shirts, considering that they are "unisex."

But t-shirts are like jeans. Everyone wears them, but men and women often wear different styles of shirt. To pick a more masculine t-shirt, focus on these ideas:

• Shape: Boxy, unisex/men's t-shirts are the best, particularly if they're a little loose. Also, v-necks, while hot on biological men, can also be feminizing depending on the cut.
• Logos: A big logo encompassing the entire front of the shirt can draw attention away from your breasts, where a shirt with a logo directly across the chest can draw attention straight to the ladies.
• Color: Like it or not, some colors in our culture are considered more feminine than others. Black, brown, and other dull shades are masculine, where as pink, purple, and various other pastels are considered feminine. However, brightly colored t-shirts can still be seen as masculine depending on:
• What Else You're Wearing: Short shorts, strappy sandles, and a bangle will feminize even the boxiest black t-shirt. I admit, I don't always dress like a hardcore man's man- more like an effeminate gay guy, at times. But a brightly colored t-shirt can still work if it's under an open button up or over a white undershirt, with loose jeans and tennis shoes. Also, wearing nothing with your t-shirt gives it away too, unless your t-shirt is really long.
  

The best way to judge what is more masculine/androgynous is to simply study the opposite sex. Find celebrities whose style you like and try to put your own twist on them. For instance, lately I've become a bit enamoured of Christofer Drew of NeverShoutNever!:

And above all else, dress comfortably! And hope to God that Stacey and Clinton of What Not to Wear don't find you.
