Actual passing advice that isn't just "wear men's clothes"
Mainly for pre-transition people
- Train your neck
No seriously, you have no idea how much a person's neck width impacts whether they look male or female, if you have a thin neck sorry but you're not gonna pass, you'll be clocky at best. Strenghtening neck muscles increases its width, there are many exercises you can look up, like doing pull ups with your neck when it's hanging backwards from your bed or other place.
- Tape + binder makes you the flattest
If you have a small chest then 1 of those is usually enough, but if you're C cup+, tape + binder makes you the flattest. If you wear just tape chance is that there will still be 2 visible bumps on your chest, just flatter than they normally are. To be the flattest, the breasts have to be put to the sides, the chest sticks out more if they're in the front and that's the position they get in in just a binder.
- Wear shoulder pads
Shoulders are another important aspect of passing. There are specific pads for shoulders you can buy, but you can also use pads that are often in sports bras. They obviously make your shoulders broader and bigger.
- Masculanizing make up
It really impacts the way you look, trust me. The most important part are eyebrows, believe me that if you make your brows darker and thicker, you will look more masculine. Don't do it the way women paint their brows, they should still look messy and like you didn't put on make up, so just smear some dark powder or shadow on them (idk how it's called). This won't work if you have light hair though, you might look silly.
Another thing is the shadow in the area between the eye and eyebrow. Men have more prominent brow ridges which cast more shadows in that area. Subtle differences like that is what defines sex dimorphism.
- Tape for thighs
Okay so, females accumulate fat in their thighs which makes the area under hips and butt where legs start the widest part of their shillouetes. Men obviously don't have that. I personally use the same tape I do for binding to pull that fat back, reducing those female hips and making my legs and entire shillouete look straighter, less curvy, more masculine.
- Height enhancers
Additional height is always great, but you can use the highest possible enhancers if you wear higher boots. Boots that cover the ankle are best for that. There are also enhancers that you can wear directly on your feet. Platforms aren't great for passing as it's something that's worn mainly by women.
