Mainstream Cross-Dressing

Bodysuits, Football Uniforms for Women and Thongs for Men

— November 3, 2009 — Fashion
Bodysuits, Football Uniforms for Women and Thongs for Men: Today we hunt Mainstream Cross-Dressing.

10 The BabooshkaBoutique capitalizes on the current mens-sized trends we’ve all be seeing with their Geometric Oversized Boyfriend Cardigan. Who needs a boyfriend when you can wear this?

9 Uniqlo brightens its Summer 2009 ad campaign with two platinum blonde British models, Agyness Deyn and Luke Worrall in some pastel unisex clothing in this trippy commericial.

8 Adam Lambert proves that you don’t have to be a lady to be pretty and glam. This American Idol wears more makeup then a clown at the circus—putting old school fashionistas like Mick Jagger to David Bowie to shame.

7 It’s ok for men to get leotarded! ‘The Stunner’ Bodysuit by the aptly named Hunk Wear comes in blue, black and, of course, fuchsia along with a men’s thong line.

6 Raf Simons of Jil Sander challenged the idea of boring neutral-colored power suits for women. Instead the traditional mens workwear attire was injected with pizzazz by adorning model’s feet in citrus-colored footwear.

5 Giambattista Valli’s oversized outerwear for Fall 2009 is big enough for a man, but made for a woman.

4 Givenchy Bolero emphasizes manly shoulders for his Fall 2009 runway show. This trend may have gotten the cold shoulder since the eighties, but it’s definitely seeing a revival now.

3 Every man’s fantasy will soon turn into a reality with the Lingerie Football League in September of 2009. They do a great job of feminizing regular football uniforms.

2 The infamous Boyfriend Jean has spawned a new era of stylishly baggy jeans instead of impossibly skinny ones. It’s all about being easy; easy to thow on, easy on the eyes and easy on your wallet.

1 A close fashion relative of the boyfriend jean is the beloved Boyfriend Shirt. It’s time to raid your boyfriends closet for a shirt that can pass the smell test.

1. Mainstream Cross-dressing - Advancements in fashion design have opened up opportunities to create more gender-neutral clothing items and accessories that challenge traditional gender roles and stereotypes.
2. Non-binary Fashion - As more consumers seek out clothing items that aren't restricted to stereotypical gender categories, companies can tailor their collections to better serve the needs of non-binary and genderqueer demographics.
3. Unisex and Oversized Clothing - Designers can take advantage of the rising demand for unisex and oversized clothing items by creating collections that prioritize comfort, versatility, and inclusivity.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - The fashion industry can benefit from the rising popularity of gender-neutral clothing by introducing new designs that meet the needs of diverse consumers and celebrate individuality.
2. Sports - Companies in the sports industry can innovate by introducing more inclusive uniforms and gear, such as the Lingerie Football League, that challenge traditional notions of what athletes should wear.
3. Beauty - The beauty industry can tap into the trend of gender-bending by promoting makeup and grooming products that cater to an audience beyond the binary, like Adam Lambert's glam aesthetic.
