FTM & Trans Masc Clothing Tips - Part 2! 

I work in apparel at a big chain store. When your measuring your leg length make sure you use the inseam...or the inner thigh area of your leg to get the length. It will give you a better judge of what length pants to get. So measure crotch to ankle. I know this can be dysphoria inducing if you have someone else do it. Getting a good measuring tape from a fabric store was a godsend to many of my ftm friends.

"women's" shoes are designed to make your feet look long and narrow. "Men's" shoes generally have more room in the toe box.

Nobody: Aaron: pents Idk where he's from, but his accent is charming and I love it

My parents think I’m just a girl who wants to dress like a boy even though IVE CAME OUT TO THEM!! Someone gimme tips please qwq

Formal clothing video would be really cool :)

I’d love if you did a video about how to dress in the summer

Lol I love the beginning the jump cuts Hi->hello->hi

If those 36 pants are from h&m I noticed their pants always go up in length as they go up in width so it’s impossible to get a wide hip and short leg. Tbh h&m isn’t great for short chubby guys

i just typed in "ftm" and put the settings to recent and ):im glad i found this video!u seem so sweet and im excited to binge ur channel

fit is everything. my kid has short limbs and a thick waist/curves, so it's really hard to buy for them. men's clothing tends to be very long in the leg. i appreciate all your tips!

Me: ): *Aaron kissing sounds* Me: (:

I like knowing Aaron and I have the same pants

This is a great help. I had come out as Transgender last November. I have been trying my best to be me, but it really hard when I'm still in my teens. I often wear jeans or baggy shorts which feels good for me. I just wear any shirt that fits though I'm more top dysphoria. When I'm out though I pass really well most of the time. By the way, I like your cat! They are adorable.

The way you say pants is so nice, it's like ✨pants✨

Uuuughh, Aaron! I looooooove how you pronounce consonants so muchhhh! It is so pleasant to listen to, especially on top of your calming cadence and tone. Basically, I'm just in love with the sound of your speech and how you talk. Loved the video, as always. Love mischievous Caelem, and hope Señor Lamb is doing ok. I always think you look super cute with how you go about changing clothes. You're adorbs. Thanks for the content. :) Hope you have a wonderful day!

Congrats! Not only a sponsored video, but I also got two ads before the video (hopefully not just because I'm early for once).

I love seeing you smile and just being happy about making videos. You just always give off such a positive vibe in your videos and I love it 🙂

Idk about anyone else but drop crotch harum pants have been a game changer for me. Cheap/affordable online, loose fit so I dont worry about having to pack or be uncomfortable due to swelling(Chronic pain is weird) and they come in tons of patterns and colors. I had the same issue with basketball shorts with the wonky pockets, I have switched to nike and it seems to be less of an issue im not sure why,so if anyone has clues on that mystery let me know lol.

A video on formal clothing would be awesome because I'm graduating from uni soon and want to wear a suit real bad

The first second tho :)) Edit: THE SHELF!!! I laughed with tears

Aaron, why are you so perfect? (I know nobody is perfect, but let me compliment you) You explain things so well, thanks

Please do formal wear! My profession is strictly suits and it is a struggle

I also recommend learning some basic clothes altering. Being able to adjust the length of your pants and adjust the length of sleeves and such can be a really cheap way of changing the look of certain clothes. Also it will give you a wider variety of clothes you can buy that will work for your personal body and wishes

Higher waisted pants with tucked in shirts helps my dysphoria a whole bunch. I never wear shirts that aren’t a bit cropped “untucked”.

Trans person with EDS here. I was feeling down, then I watched the first 10 seconds of your video and my heart was filled with warmth. You're a great person.

I would love you to continue this series. Formal wear took me forever to figure out and I still can sometimes have problems if I do not go and get a tailored suit. Which most trans men have to sadly because we are usually shorter and built differently

Your cat has fantastic comedic timing.

Keep up the great work, Aaron. I’d love to see a formal dressing video!

Bro I LOVE the new setup!

ah, that intro is everything! you're so perfect, everything's is so perfect in your vids, i love ur little kisses to things, it's fun and wamr to see idk why.

you're my favourite person aaron. your videos help so much and it's so great to be able to see content from someone so similar to me. I find you very inspiring

Your voice is so nice. It's really soothing? Also thank you for making these videos. I finally have money to spend on clothes instead of the hand me downs I've been wearing my whole life and I realized I have no idea where to shop or what to wear.

Would love to see tips on suits/formal wear especially since ill be going to prom this year it would be really helpful

He said fall straight and I was like I'm not straight

Gosh I know I'm finding this out too late but please formal wear video please! I got married and got a shirt that absolutely did not fit my hips which meant I had to not tuck the vest... So yeah would love the input to avoid future mistakes 🖤 thanks for this one, definitely helpful

How do you know if your cis or transgender?? Hi, my name is Jordan and I’m 18 years old. I started questioning my gender around the beginning of 7th grade. I got my period the month before I was supposed to start 7th grade. Getting my period threw me off and made me really uncomfortable. I never could put my finger exactly on why I felt so weird but the way that people were treating me and the way my body was changing, I hated it to say the least. I remember finding out was transgender meant in like the 10th grade but I didn’t really think much of it. It wasn’t until I turned 17 and was a junior in high school that I really began to ask myself if I was transgender female to male or not. I began to wear more guy clothes and wanted a haircut. I went to therapy and concluded that I just liked to wear men’s clothes because they were more comfortable. Then, in my senior year of highschool my gender spun out of control. By the time I was to graduate high school, I had no idea who the heck I was. My mind was always all over the place. I had mental breakdowns a lot and sometimes for no apparent reason. I started to feel really insecure and wanted to get back into therapy since it has previously helped me before. So there I was, back in therapy after I graduated high school. I told my therapist exactly how I had been feeling and we had come to the conclusion that I was probably transgender female to male. For the next six months I identified as transgender female to male. It was hard sometimes and I had a lot of doubt but I pushed through it. However, now my thoughts on my self are very different. I no longer feel like a man or want to be one. The thought of growing facial hair makes me want to literally cry and I actually can appreciate my breasts and love them because they make me feel feminine and make me feel like a woman. I couldn’t imagine transitioning into a man, mainly because I would miss my current body and feel quite out of my element in that type of body. But it’s like now I am so dang confused! Was the whole feeling like a transgender man just a phase?? How do you know if you are cis gender?? How does one tell if they are transgender?? I actually want to be my assigned gender at birth and have so much self love for myself that I never had before. I really do feel like a girl, inside and out. Does this mean that I’m really a cis gender female?? Please leave me your thoughts and advice below, any and every comment of advice is very much appreciated trust me!🥰❤️💓

Oh man thank you so much for this. I've been struggling a lot with gate keeping health care providers, because apparently I need to get better before they're willing to actually help me. (literally had a psychologist tell me I can't get treatment at a gender clinic because I'm too depressed and therefore I'd end up regretting transitioning, and that I just need to try harder to accept that :))) So I've been trying to find ways to make life even just a bit easier, and I've always had a hard time finding pants I actually feel alright in, so I always just end up wearing pants that are 4 sizes too big so no one (including myself) can see my massive thighs. Now I at least have some tips on how to find pants that well, don't make me extremely dysphoric or make me look like a potato sack :D

It's the knee placement on pants that determines whether you look taller or shorter. Same problem with women's clothes. A size 10-12 (average for most) is considered plus sized which means the legs are made taller than average pants. so if you are a short size 12, the knee of the pants will sit below your natural knee, making it appear like the pants are too baggy on you, making you seem shorter than you are. Problem is, because women's clothing does not measure length of leg pretty much any size you wear on a shorter individual will always be too long in the thighs giving you that horrible bunching below the knee.

tbh ty a lot for this video since pants are a very big part of my dysphoria but also, please do a formal wear video too! i think itd help a lot of us transmasc folk tbh

I had no idea it was the underwear waist band that was making my sides do that out thingy. I always thought it was my pants, and that little out thingy made me really uncomfortable with my hips/sides. Thank you for informing me!!

Like, cool video and all, but why is nobody talking about how calming his voice is

tysm for this video as a guy who was born female who's curvy with hipdips its so hard to find fashion tips for making ur torso look straight tysm

I didn't watch this video when it first came out because I was like meh I don't wanna hear him talk about clothes. But DAMN AARON you got some gooood tips!

ur voice is so calming :)

this is super helpful, thank you!

I appreciate the video, my bottom dysphoria has been pretty bad lately so thank you! (also I love the shirt:)

Thanks for the tips! 🙂

Cat knocks down shelf, You cut and fix the shelf: cat yells at you on cue *priceless* lol I'm so short I can buy Capri length pants and they almost are long enough, I have a long torso but short legs, I wear a 38 waist and always have leg length issues. Mens pants fit SO much better! I used to be a boys size 16 "husky" until all my surgeries and gained weight. Thank you so much for this video, I never thought about how much underwear makes a big difference on how pants fit!

I love how you say pants wow

couple quick notes! 1. shorts should usually never fall below the knee. 2. if you want to feel a taller get a pair of shoes with a small heel inside the shoe, the sole on the outside will be flat, but it will raise you up. 3. if you want to look taller, only wear vertical stripes on striped clothes, horizontal stripes will make you look wider. 4. for looking taller, especially in formal wear, try to avoid color blocking. so if you have a vest, it should match with the color of you pants i have a whole host of tips especially for suits and formal wear, so if you need help you can shoot me a message on insta (although i don’t check it very often), my handle is poets_inscribe

I also have the elastic band pants with a low crotch. the fabric's a bit firmer so the crotch looks fuller without me packing necessarily

Please do a formal attire video, my guy! Would be very helpful

I’m a closeted trans guy and this was a really good video to help me know what to buy

I use a shoelace tied really tight instead of a belt (because if jeans are big enough for my thighs they're way too big in the waist) and i super hate how belts look and feel

Thank u for the video:D

I love this video, thanks

I love these kinds of videos. I never learned how to dress my self properly the way that i wanted to when i was young and now being out to my family no one really thinks about how I dont know how anything works in this whole New World. Like I ask male friends how to do things and they explained how their dads taught them as children. I dont know, I wish i had that. But these videos are good too, this way im not completely lost!

I started hemming my trousers a while ago with the help of a friend because I'm around a 31 waist and even with that it's kind of hard to find 30 leg trousers. You only have to look for the correct waist size, which is way easier, and hemming really isn't hard if you know how to use a sewing machine or have a friend help you! Even I was able to do it and I had precisely zero experience with sewing machines beforehand and am not exactly talented when it comes to sewing in general.

the youth section for pants is so amazing. I bought mine at h&m....

The pressure on waist thing with underwear, I actually need that for I have a hip dip

omg i have those type of pants and it is a life saver

Hey, I have a quick tip for trans guys who are struggling to pass. If you're thinking of either using make up to make your eyebrows look bushier, or contouring to appear more angular and masculine in the face, just don;t do it, because it does look like make up and most people can't tell that it's make up, so I wouldn't recommend it

Hi im ftm this really helped ^^ thx

Not sure what shops they have in Canada... Target sells 29 and 30 length. I'm a 34 length, so no worries there, luckily, but my dad is short and needs the 29 or 30 length. Here in the states we also have places like Ross, TJ Maxx, and Marshall's (discount type stores that sell name brand items) which also sell pants on the "shorter" side.

I hate the summer! I can only wear t shirts that are dark and that catches the heat.... or with something distracting when I can't wear my binder and even then and shorts work when they dont tighten up at the crotch cos I dont have one right ..... *laughs while crying* yay dysphoria and problems! I dont pack cos nope.... too risky for slip ups .

There was this one time i bought boxers from the brand levis .I’ve never bought boxers from that brand i usually get puma , hanes , or champion. I got my usual size which is a large . Well when i tried them on they were so tight from my inner thighs and it barley went up from my butt 💀😭😂😂

I know that the video is old but If anyone is watching then try rugby length shorts. They are shorter and baggier and if you buy the right material they are the most comfortable things on the planet. I am not exaggerating.

I love how my parents don't give a shart about what I wear as long as its not crop tops and bootie shorts, which makes me happy cause I always distract them while walking into the men's clothing section and if I'm lucky I can get a few new "guy" clothes 😈

Another person that can agree you don't have to look a certain way to make others feel comfortable. (Passing)

Thank you. So much. :)

Surprisingly the best place I've found for jeans and pants with short leg inseams is Amazon. Their "men's" clothing brand Goodthreads let's you go down to a 28" inseam for every waist size they carry!!!

It’s great what information is out there for trans folk - super helpful video! ❤️💋🦄🌈🦄🌈🦄

Please do a formal wear video

Another clothing hack, especially for chubbier (or plus size like myself) guys / transmascs: You can dramatically change your body shape by going up in waist size and wearing your pants higher! I know wearing jeans or shorts on or below your hipbones is "in" but wearing higher rise (maybe 1-3 fingers width from belly button) lengthens your legs (making you look taller!), prevents any pant sagging or falling, and can straighten out hips while minimizing a belly. It's a lifesaver for anyone who doesn't like their body proportions in low rise pants. I highly recommend joggers or jogging shorts and Uniqlo's EZY jeans since they fit slim while being a slightly higher rise. Just an additional tip. Love you Aaron!

i love your T-shirt♥️

YES DO SUMMER AND FOLMAL PLEASEEEEEEEEE

Yo I’ve been thinking of doing a video like this you’ve got hella good tips

Please do a video on suits!! I love them but have no idea what I’m doing.

I got two ads before the video!!!! Also this video is so good thank youuuuu

Is it just me or does he kinda look like Orlando Bloom, also I love that glasses!!

*my mom wont let me get a binder so i wear boxers and small sports bras*

I HAVE THE SAME WHITE STUFFED RAT THAT'S IN THE BACKGROUND ON THE CHAIR!! I DON'T KNOW WHERE I HAVE IT I JUST HAVE IT OMG

We’re did uu got ur sweats pants I like them

I like your cat & cat shirt!

He has a very articulate late voice, like on the t's he was verry articulate, I think it's really cute lmao

What's funny to me is this became almost an advert for adidas basketball shorts. 😅 Adidas just makes decent stuff usually.

George Brand [Walmart] have sizes in odd number and even leg length of 28 to 30 inches.

My struggle is I can’t find jeans that fit my waist but are short enough for my legs. I’m too chunky and short

I love your voice!!!!

what if you have a really feminine body shape? i've been dealing with it for so long, and am curious if anything can help, and don't have access to a binder?

aye, just bought myself some pride shit + jeans from h&m to help my dysphoria! those first pants were super nice :) edit: also, I never knew that 'boyfriend cut' women's jeans were just men cuts in women's sizes! I always liked them better before I transitioned, and I never knew why until now haha

2020 gang watching Aaron cause I miss him

Where did you get your shirt

Anyone else wth chronic pain have an issue with tight waist bands anywhere on their torso? For me if anything on my torso is just a Little tight causes lots of pain so I’ve also really struggled to find comfy pants and it sucks buuuutt

hii , i just got a binder and that's like only the start. I have no idea where to start or shop and it makes me wanna cryyy. someone please help-.

What materials are the underwear expert fabrics? I can't find that info on their site. it looks synthetic and like there's no way to specify if you want vag-friendly fabrics. I struggle to find boxer briefs that are snazzy and cotton

2:17 really got me XD
