So to all of you that wonder what clothes to wear to appear more feminine, I have found a quite good method:
Just look what cis girls wear. Literally, just look at them and try to learn what style they use and try to adopt it. This way I learned more about women's fashion than watching any of the guides I found online. Sadly I have not been able to adopt a lot of this knowledge into my wardrobe due to clothes being expensive, me being insecure about what I can wear outside (I used to (and still do) always wear simple clothing, so its hard as hell to find something that I could see myself wearing outside, even tho I think all of those flower skirts and similar stuff looks cool as hell) and me being to lazy to go to a second hand store to get some stuff (I will report back when I managed to do that).

I also think it could be useful to ask yourself: "What about her clothes makes me see her as a girl? How is that differeny than what I wear?" when seeing what cis girls are wearing.

I don't know anything about fashion but what about opening your favourite JRPG character designer and hit random?

I’ve got two modes of fashion: low-key android vibes, and god-slaying protagonist vibes.
Were I ever to just dress up in average clothes, my friends would be gobsmacked.
Oh yeah, I think you've seen me wearing the bottom outfit before.

This is a good start but may not be maintainable in the long run

Turns out if you were a band shirt, jeans, and hoodie type you just need to replace the jeans with a midi or maxi skirt and it still works!

Yeah, this is the way. I like to browse pinterest too, although that tends to throw up some more "out there" ideas.
One thing to bear in mind as you build a wardrobe is whether the items you are adding will work with your existing clothes as an outfit. And of course that works as a source of inspiration too.

Might just be my current mental mood, but lately I feel like nothing I've been trying on has been right. Doesn't help that I've got the physique of a power lifter

Girl, get some tights. My quadzilla gravel cyclist legs look like thick thighs saving lives in a pair of yoga pants. Get the ones with the v cross at the abdomen and look like a lower body goddess. Top it off with a nice longline sports bra or a crop top and throw a camp wrap or something over your shoulders. Own that body you built and make it look good for you!

Edit: I should prolly back these claims up.
