This is my take on Crossdresser basic necessities … some of what I’ve learned over my years of cross-dressing.
Let’s start at the floor 🙂
1 – High heels (whatever height you are comfortable walking in). Black, one pair shiny, and another pair matte or faux suede. Also in red, blue, brown and white. The brown doesn’t have to be shiny unless you want it to be.
1b – Sling back stilettos in your basic colors are great in the summer or warmer weather also.
2 – All the same colors in wedges, but probably not shiny ones, just faux suede. Maybe throw in a floral-pattern pair for summer fun 🙂
3 – It’s going to be the same with booties. Suede, in black, beige, red or wine-coloured, and maybe brown.
4 – If you like wearing high boots, just match them up with a favourite coat or the basics; black and brown, and there’s also burgundy.
5 – For the stilettos I recommend caps and also, rubber stick-on pads for the bottom of the toe box, just so you don’t go slipping and sliding all over the place on a tile floor. You can get these at any dollar store. Amazon sells stiletto caps made by a company called Heel Hunks.
Movin’ on up …
6 – Nylon stockings in knee-high and full-length, in black and nude colors.
7 – Leggings in black, navy blue, maroon. All non-shiny.
7b – Shiny black and blue leggings. Bluejean leggings also.
8 – High-waisted panties with tummy control, if needed. Get a tight pair, to make it easier to tuck.
9 – Camis in all the basic colors for those sheer, chiffon-type tops.
10 – Make sure your tops are long enough to cover your kibbles and bits in the front. Or, you could purchase a black lace skirt or one of those fake bottom-of-the-shirt things, that you wear underneath a favourite top if it isn’t long enough.
11 – Cardigans in the basic colors as well; black, white, beige, red etc.
Higher and higher …
12 – Silicone breasts, preferably that are joined like a bra at the front and with the straps to keep them in place.
13 – Bras in black and nude colors.
… and to top it all off: –
14 – Wigs. There are many online stores, such as Amazon, TEMU, Shein, or hivision-wig.com. Educate yourself regarding wig care and watch videos on YouTube on how to wash, brush and store a wig. Free standing coat racks make great wig stands!
15 – Put on your makeup before your clothes, except for lipstick afterwards. Fixing spray also keeps makeup in place for hours. There are lots of tutorials on YouTube regarding makeup application, including false eyelashes, concealer, primer, eyeshadow etc.
16 – Nail polish is always nice, and now they have nail-polish tape, as well as stick-on nails. Don’t forget your nail polish remover! Q-tips and wooden toothpicks are great nailcare accessories, as well as files. Also, you can keep your nails in a medication pill dosette.
17 – Purses in your basic colors; black, brown, wine, white, beige – and make sure they are big enough to carry your car keys, your cell phone and your wallet. When going out, keep a little purse-size hairbrush, eyeliner, lipstick, blusher and compact mirror in your purse as well.
18 – Sunglasses. If you go out during the day and you’re nervous about being recognized, sunglasses are great at hiding your identity.
I hope some of this helps if you’re just starting out on this journey. I sure wish I had read something like this when I was getting started! I would’ve saved a fortune 😀
Have fun and remember, “Those who mind, don’t matter. And those who matter, don’t mind.”
Sending love and light, sincerely,

Hi there is one thing i would like to know above anything else and that is when walking in heels 👠 do you put the toe down first or is it the heel , it’s just that i want to walk more like a girl than a man, I know that a girl swings her hips when walking but a man is a plodder if you get what i mean,

Heel-toe, heel-toe, heel-toe. Once you’re good at that, keep your knees close, extend from the calf, and stride, placing your right foot in front of the left and your left foot in front of the right. With practice you’ll get that “shimmy" you’re alluding to.

Hi Kristy thanks very much for the advice, I watched a video on Utube before and it showed me the correct way to walk in heels 👠, I’m sure I’ll get used to it eventually it’s just going to take some practice,
Hugs Roz X
That was my NEXT piece of advice! Huggz!
@kristybucks
I’ve got to do lots of practice Kristy, I’ll keep a pair of heels 👠 in my wardrobe and practice every chance i get, I’m hoping that it won’t be to long before I’m walking tall in my heels,
