Maybe a fashion-conscious lady or two. Go for it!My gay colleagues clocked me wearing a second shirt immediately. If your friends are gay, they will notice.

Blouses frequently have what I guess is called a gusset at the bust line which actually calls attention to the breasts and is a feature usually not seen in men's shirts. Furthermore, and maybe I'm the only one who notices this stuff because I occasionally crossdress, women's clothing buttons on the opposite side of men's clothing, and I would notice this. In fact, years ago, I noticed on VH-1 Behind the Music that Anthony Kiedis was wearing a female coat or top when they profiled the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Even women's T-shirts have smaller collars, and I would notice that, too, if I saw a guy wearing one. If a guy is going to wear a woman's blouse, he may as well just wear a bra and get it over with. It isn't subtle in my opinion.

I really hate men's 'T' shirts because they are just too baggy in the wrong places, I have to wear them because I have so many and cannot afford to replace them even given the aforementioned issue re women's version.

Women's jean's are awesome! I love the stretch denim and the slimming appearance. Men's jeans are so baggy I can't stand it. Levi's 527 are the only exception I've found. Like you Heather, I'm in women's jeans most of the time (except for work when I need the more rugged denim available only in men's jeans). I'm not sure what you mean about the zippers though, I've never noticed a pair of that is reversed. Is that a European thing? Maybe the seamstress was dyslexic.
Below is my favorite pair of jeans at the moment, ironically available from Tractor Supply (how many women shop there???). I've spent countless hours in them in public, along with other women's styles and NEVER had a comment or even a strange look. Obviously the jeans I pick are very gender neutral so I want to go a little further toward the feminine side with future selections. Honestly, I think I could go completely "blinged out" on jeans with little reaction from most people. Jeans are just too gender irrelevant.

Hi sfem,
I assume the zip issue relates to going for a 'pee' . I have not stood to 'pee' for over 18 months, I use cubicles if dressed in drab and sit just as if I was a real woman!
