For many mainstream media outlets and queer fashion blogs out there, androgynous = skinny. However, us Qwears know this is not the case, and you should never let a larger chest get in the way of your style. With some easy tips a bit of tailoring, you'll be ready to go.

Buy a button up that fits over your chest (and hips) without any pulling across the chest. Bring it to your handy friend/ neighborhood tailor, and have them fit it to you. If you want to achieve a mostly boxy look, bring the shirt in at the sides below your chest and tailor it to your body. The amount of room you prefer differs from person to person, but I'd say that most people tend to make it too tight if they've been used to tight styles in the women's department. Men's clothing is made to be comfortable and give you room to breath. If your tailor is unfamiliar with the Qwears, explain to them that you do NOT want to add darts, but rather keep it a men's style shirt. While you're there, you can adjust the sleeve length, width, and shirt length to best fit you. You'd be amazed at how bringing a sleeve up a little bit can dramatically improve the fit of the shirt. Finally, you may choose to add a hidden button or clip over your chest to further alleviate openings.
