Hey XDress family, long time since I blogged and I hope you have been enjoying the summer as much as I have. I do love the summer fashions and it’s such fun looking thru the collections of skimpy denim shorts, mini-skirts and crop and cami tops in the mall. But as we move into Autumn, and temperatures begin to drop, I see stores are now changing over to the heavier winter clothes, out with the old and in with the new! As it happens every year, I guess we will all get used to wearing heavier clothes and showing less skin: sweaters, sleeved shirts, long pants and just more clothes over ourselves.
It got me thinking about this community. XDress offers so many cute and stylish products that I know we all love and enjoy mostly privately. Not many of us are likely to talk openly about under garments with our co-workers and friends but do they know or suspect? Do they not know? If they do, do they support you? Have they asked to try? Or inquire where you get them?
I was changing at the gym the other day and pulling on my Body Aware deep pink gym shorts over my pink satin and lace cheekster panty and was asked where I got the panties. I proudly said XDress and the guy said he liked them and never knew they existed for men. So in that case, I feel like I helped someone find themselves or at least find something that they can enjoy with their SO.
There was a time when I was kinda shy about wearing XDress and was rather protective about it. Kinda hiding it from those around me. I still do not actively promote it but if someone notices, they sometimes inquire where I get them. Surely not everybody agrees or approves, but I couldn’t care less. As I get older, I find it is more important to be yourself and be comfortable with all you do for you.
Anyway, this led me to wonder that with the greater societal tolerance of anything related to crossdressing and gender nonconformity, if people are now more open about their choice in undies. I have shifted from not telling to not caring and am rather open about it if and when I am asked or if my thong is exposed when I bend over to pick something up. If asked, I just state how comfortable and flirty they are and, better yet, how much my SO loves them.
So, from this community, I’d like to hear if you are open or closeted in your XDress selection. Also share your feelings on the changing seasons and how that effects what you like to wear. Do you miss the skimpy clothing of summer?

Nice Blog, Scott. I also have found that as I get older, I am not too concerned about keeping my lingerie appreciation a total secret. It may be that society is more open, or just that I am less bothered by what people think. In the summer I do love the skimpier clothes, not just for myself but also I love how they look on women. Lululemon shorts with the 2" inseam look great on both men and women, but it is depressing that many women talk about the similar shorts on men as being “indecent” or even disgusting. I don’t think I will ever fully understand that double standard, as I believe both men and women have very similar legs and thighs. But now that cooler weather is here, I am not excited by the fall and winter fashions, I don’t find them very sexy. So I will have to wait until next Spring when the summer fashions come round again. By the way, let me give a shout-out to the short shorts offered by Bodyaware.
I like this article. Great topic to discuss. I have been wearing panties for over 15 years and only in recent years became a lot more open in my personal life outside of work with who i am and the things i like. I slowly add new people to my secondary instagram where i share this side of me. Work is not somewhere I would currently be comfortable sharing that side of my life with as I genuinely feel like my career could be in jeopardy based on peoples personal views. However I have loved the ability of finally being fully transparent with my family and friends and having no shame in what I love. My wife took a bit of time to get used to it but really supports my choices and has been a wonderful experience. Love yourself and have no shame. Thongs all day every day!
I have always struggled with this question. While I do have several friends that are aware, I definitely do not make it public. I have had a couple partners that knew, and supported it as well. Currently, my wife knows, but mostly just accepts it. So, it is just something private that I enjoy for myself. For those that do know, it adds some excitement to the day when they ask, or notice.
A few friends know. If asked I’ll definitely talk about it. The more it’s talked about the more normal it is
This raises some interesting questions. My approach to my xdress selections is quite open at home, but closeted outside, where the subject has never come up. I don’t really know if I would openly acknowledge my love for many of xdress’s selections. I think I would, but I’m not about to press the issue. As respects the change in the weather, I do miss the skimpy hot weather clothing, but cooler weather offers other means of self expression. Sweaters for instance offer a great variety of colors, patterns and textures that can be very attractive and non-boring. Under this more substantial clothing there is plenty of room for self expression, comfort and sex appeal. I have one suggestion. Bodysuits are not only attractive and very sexy, they can serve as a base layer to provide some extra warmth in cold weather. I do think it’s important to maintain that special feeling you get from wearing something attractive, comfortable and sexy.
