started a new job recently and im boymoding at work atm. i was expecting it to be cold because most offices ive been in are really cold, but its actually pretty warm. this is a problem because my boobs are getting big enough to be visible under most shirts so ive been wearing a tight bralet, a tshirt, and a hoodie but its too hot so im sitting here sweating wishing i could take off this hoodie but not wanting my coworkers to notice my boobs 😐

anybody have some advice on how to stay cool? im worried im just doomed to suffer or come out at work.

    As an enby the way I’m boymoding is a non-white t-shirt with a sports bra.

    I find that white t-shirts are too sheer and let the color of even my white sports bra show through so my recommendation is a light but non-white t-shirt for light colored sports bras and gray to dark shirts for dark to black sports bras.

    I chose sports bras as they’re quite affordable and more accessible in comparison to binders but still provide the needed compression to hide boobage.

    I used 2 things to help find good prices for my sports bras:

    I hope this helps🙌

      If I may butt in? White bras of any sort just glare through light and white colors. Champagne or light blush do better, but mostly champagne. A champagne bra with a white undershirt and whatever overshirt may work?

        Yes, match the underwear to your skin tone if you want it to be invisible. That’s why most undergarments are available in some sort of medium tan/pink/brown. Even if you can’t match the color, matching the value can often be enough. A grey will almost always be less visible than white or black.
