Boyfriend Shirts? No Thanks – I’ve Got My Own Shirt.

Boyfriend Shirts? No Thanks – I’ve Got My Own Shirt.

The Power of Clothing for Self Expression - A personal Journey

Guest blog by William Elisabeth Cuthbert Dressing for your gender identity can change everything about how you move through life. Confidence, posture, accepting compliments or opening up around others, can all shift towards how you are inside. But it can also reveal ways you’ve never imagined you could feel about yourself, as I found when I needed an outfit for two family weddings in 2021. Two ceremonies, one weekend, maximum pressure.
