I've heard that flannel/plaid shirts are good for hiding curves because of the chessboard pattern on them. There's even a joke in transmasc circles that compares them to the dazzle camouflage used in ships during WWI.

I can't confirm they work. I can't test it myself.

    Transmasc(ish) enby chiming in to confirm it works - it’s my self-imposed work uniform because bras make me dysphoric af and commute time + work hours + summer heat makes binding for work untenable most days.

    Wide leg pants also help to hide lower body curves if that’s also an issue.

    You can get flannel-like button ups that are made from very thin, breathable cotton materials and layer a dark cotton t-shirt underneath. It’s not perfect but it’s better than a hoodie during the summer months

    There are lots of thin flannels, especially in women's sections since fast fashion is usually thinner, lower quality material. Just try to avoid polyester or rayon and look for cotton or similar natural fibers that are less insulating and more sweat wicking.

    Alas, that makes what makes flannels such a double-edged sword. It's an iconic sapphic aesthetic I see with other women, but then I put them on and I look way more butch than they do. Or maybe that's just dysphoria talking idk. 😅

    But yes flannels are great for boymoding.
