Now that winter has set in here in the upper Midwest, l find myself dressing up less. I keep my thermostat set pretty low (61) to save on heating bills and just wear a sweater to stay comfortable. As a result, I’m less likely to be motivated to take all my clothes off to dress femme, or maybe I just get lazy. Does cold weather dampen your desire to dress?
No, I dress up more to keep warm. Haha.
All kidding aside, I have longer skirts, warm tops, long or winter dresses, and plenty of tights to wear. I have an ankle length puffer coat for going out casually, and a red woolen trench coat for more dressy occasions, both with gloves if necessary. I have blazers or sweaters that I could put on as an extra layer. I'm as well prepared to dress in cold weather as in warm.
More time in winter, for sure!
During the other three seasons, I have projects & chores always to do outside.Requires guy mode, due to nosy, always at home neighbor and the dirty nature of some of the work.
Come winter, most of my work is inside, and also less chance of company, so more gurl time as I do my online work.
I have plenty of my own hair, but wearing a wig keeps me even warmer,lol
Hi Kerri, The only change here is the type of clothing. I add more layers etc. but also get ready for more parties (Thanksgiving, Solstice, Christmas, New Years, Valentine's day, and Easter). This is my time for the heavier full dresses and gowns that I think are more fun. In summer I go to light breezy clothing that is not as dressy so winter is my time to rock it. I really enjoy the reveal of taking off a big winter coat and having a party gown underneath. Then I dance the night away until I have to return again to the snowy parking lot. Winter is also my quiet time to sew and get my outfits ready so there are a lot of try-ons too. I keep my sewing room at 68. The only thing that slows me down is ice and blizzards. Stay warm! Marg
I have a winter wardrobe and a couple of extra layers sees me through.
I'm trans so the weather is irrelevant. But even if I weren't, I wouldn't let weather curtail my dressing.
Doesn't matter to me if it's cold or warm, I dress most of the time anyway.
I like dressing up for winter, like all the other girls I see around
I like the fall and winter outfits. Knee boots and leather gloves add a nice touch of elegance and dare I say sexy to the outfits.
The colder weather can be discouraging, but I try to adapt my outfits to the cold weather and spend somewhat more time inside.
It is a pain having to wear heavy coats outside, then walk into a hot store to do some shopping. I am left with placing a heavy winter coat into my shopping buggy which results in less room for groceries or other purchases.
If I wear a dress, my legs may get cold. Leggings keep legs warm but don't give the same effeminate feeling that a dress does. Boots are ok, but I am really a sandal girl at heart, and I love showing off pretty painted toes with toe rings. Needless to say, I look forward to the warmer weather!
I tend to dress a lot more in the winter - I usually have more opportunities and my desire to dress is at its strongest at that time of year (it tends to be fairly low over the summer, but reawakens in September or October and reaches a peak in December or January, before gradually declining in the spring).

I live in Florida and even if I was in a cold weather city it wouldn't make a difference to me. I wear lingerie to bed every night and would still do it regardless of the season or city's climate.
I do live in the deep south but for us cold is in the 30s. I truly hate it but that doesn't seem to effect my dressing. However, Nov & Dec does with the time needed for family during the holidays. It seems like those two months just fly by.
It is boots weather 🙂
If time permits, I dress more in the winter vs. summer. Since I wear alot of thermal items, like silicone hip/butt pads, shapewear, tights, and a wig all that helps insulate me from the cold so transforming into Wendy is much more enjoyable. I don't break out in a sweat which results in makeup running.
Summer on the other hand I dress less due to the heat.
