Lesbian Fashion and Dressing for Holiday Parties

     Why is it that there are no lines of clothing for lesbians specifically. That’s not to say we aren’t women who can easily dress like other women. But the truth is that often we don’t want to dress exactly like other women. For me, I want to look sexy, without the stiletto heels and uncomfortable high fashion clothes. You could say I want to cheat. I want sex appeal without the pain and discomfort.

     We need women’s dress tuxedo-like suits that fit a woman’s curves. I always cringe when I see lesbians trying to fit their beautiful bodies into men’s tuxedos. It doesn’t typically work that well unless they are tall, thin, and less than voluptuous. Women’s bodies don’t adapt well to men’s clothes. You know it’s true. I’ve tried it. I like men’s clothing too, especially shirts. But the arms are too long, the shoulders are too broad, and the shirt hangs to my knees. So much for adapting.

     When in doubt during the holidays, wear sequins. You can wear an ordinary pair of black slacks and as long as there is some sparkle on the blouse or scarf, with some festive earrings and a necklace, you’re good to go. For those lesbos less inclined to indulge in jewelry, go with sparkles. Even butch girls can do sparkle, without feeling too prissy. Go ahead. You know you want to. Why should the lipsticks have all the fun.

     With scarves being all the rage, you can always go with a gorgeous scarf to dress up an ordinary outfit for the occasion. The stores are full of these perfect accessories. Not only are they affordable, they come in every possible color and fabric for those of you with wool allergies and other issues.

     If you keep three words in mind when you’re dressing for parties this year you’ll be fine. First look for sparkle. Second look for festive, which means anything that says…holiday when you wear it. And third look for a great fit that is comfortable. If your outfit incorporates these three words, you are good to go.

     Happy Holidays!
