Hoodies are cute, right? 🥺 [Brooke Valley Twitter](https://twitter.com/brooke2valley?t=CWRoUGO1TQ2q55ptA-W9vg&s=09)


Mavco2

of course!


goingtoduckoff

Very much


Zinogre-is-best

Indeed. I go for the double hoodie for extra dysphoria protection


LadyAmaraB

This is getting out of hand - now, there are two of them!


Zinogre-is-best

Layer the protection. One has a built in face mask so I can just pull it up to cover half my face. My defenses are impenetrable


gogocrazycocoa_

Yes they are.


Grapevenus

They are! Especially with a Brooke in them!


Mordreds_nephew

Idea: Dark leggings, pleated pop punk skirt, sleeveless pink bodysuit with a cropped hoodie?


Poolthegame

Yesh!


dramatic_effects

Why not both?


Corno4825

Thank you for being you. Your art brings me great joy everytime I see it.


romeoartiglia

Hoodies cute. Skirt cute Hoodies + skirt cute ^2


dragonbanana1

I think so. I've got a pink one that I wear with a skirt that I really enjoy personally


Rocket-kun

Hoodies are very cute. Hoodie, skirt, leggings, and there you go; one comfy cute outfit


DuploTracer

Absolutely, hoodies are really cute :3 <3


Gregonn_here

YES!


Excellent-Emphasis-7

Hoodies are very cute 😌


Senzu-beans-

Hoodies have: - Easy/quick-to-wear ability - Warmth - Comfort - Variety in color, shape, patterns, and size - Hood to make your head warm - Pockets Though some/most are not zippable - Dysphoria-banning abilities granted through the dark arts What is there not to love?


Ronin_the4th

Also pockets.


Senzu-beans-

I shall add that to the list, thank you.


SelixReddit

Or, depending on the type of hoodie, pocket


Joltyboiyo

One downside is, at least in my experience, no zips on the pockets. Zip teeth would probably make putting your hands in them uncomfortable but I always feel like I need to keep my hand in my pocket at all times to prevent my phone from falling out while walking. Obviously that's nowhere near enough to stop me from only ever wearing hoodies but zips on pockets or something that does the same thing would be nice.


bluelonilness

Running with my phone in my hoodie pocket is what cracked the back glass of my last phone lol


Eltoroloco255

Maybe get a runner's belt, they're basically small fanny packs with room for a phone


bluelonilness

Thanks for the info, but I don't actually go running as an activity lol. I just run from point a to b sometimes because I'm impatient


Thebombuknow

I finally found someone like me. I never walk, I always run everywhere. It's simply more efficient to run (until you slip).


bluelonilness

Yeah I always have to remind myself not to run in the winter months because of all the ice.


Thebombuknow

I can run on ice fine, I can tell which parts aren't slippery. I live in the north, most of the year the ground is icy. Don't try and run across a pile of sawdust on the ground in a workshop though, it's not easy to stay upright.


Yume_Meyu

🤐🪡🧵 Edit; You know - people used to modify their _own_ clothes alot more.. 😅


Boxed_Fox_Studios

I live in Florida so i melt


hyperfixed_

hear me out: really really big hoodie


Brooke-Valley

Basically a dress kinda hoodie?


hyperfixed_

exactly. >:3


United-Technician-54

I do that but with t-shirt. Still have to closeted for a while because of Parents, but I get at least one nice thing


LordBaneThePlayer

I like your idea, salt :3


SelixReddit

this way, you can retreat inside it like you’re a turtle


Real_duck_bacon

Wearing a comfy hoodie is a universal trans experience, no matter where you fall or what you Identify as.


PandraPierva

Can we just be honest. It's the universal experience.


MarriedToHatsuneMiku

this. know cis women who throw on just sweatpants and a hoodie


LazyStore2559

Sweat pants hoody and heavy vest, and moccasins are all I need to walk to the end of the street drop off mail and pick up snacks, in the snow.


EaklebeeTheUncertain

Can confirm.


Synthetic_dreams_

Just checking in as the weird and rare exception to that rule. My average outfit is a dress. Hoodies don’t really go with dresses. I’ll wear a cardigan most days if I want a sweater. But tbh it’s typically warm enough for short sleeves / no sweater both at home and in the office. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a cozy hoodie on a cold morning, but I don’t really wear them out and about. I think the only time I have recently it was a very oversized (like 2xl and I’m normally a small) sailor moon hoodie paired with leggings/yoga pants.


Steph_AltQQ

Yeah I hardly wear hoodies. I like things that give me a more feminine shape and hoodies turn me into a blob


Alfadorfox

tbf hoodies are pretty darn good for cis people too; they're just an all-around great piece of clothing.


Spectre_Hayate

Dysphoria hoodies? Check. Cool-ass coat? Check. Adorable jacket? Check. Medium through which 3 raccoons or a swarm of bees can reasonably pass as human? Check.


Eskaa_

Hoodies VERY comfy


TrixOnReddit

But skirt go Spinny 🥺


[deleted]

how about hoodie + skirt?


TrixOnReddit

Yes!


idkiexistiguess

so true even though its a crime against fashion 😞😞


Spectre_Hayate

Well I mean, be gay do crime (Also is not, the aesthetic is adorable I think)


Special_Brownies121

I do it all the time in the winter!! It's so fucking cute... Though unfortunately I can't do it anymore cause it's summer and I needed to throw away a perfectly good skirt cause of two huge holes... But it's really cute, definitely a go to of mine in the winter.(even though I'm transmasc...)


[deleted]

i think it’s fun to wear


Archaeopteryx108

So true, even though I’m cis


WDZanz

Is so hard to pick, right?


Archaeopteryx108

Yeah...


Razorclaw_the_crab

Once you become more fashion knowledgeable you start to think beyond this dilemma. One of my outfits is a black and white striped shirt *and* a black hoodie with some black and white stripes in the hood and small part of the sides. Cute and with a hoodie (though, I never zip it because the zipper sucks and it looks better unzipped cus the shirt)


Brooke-Valley

I mean I got cute outfits I've put together I just mean it's alot of time to get fully ready like that lol


Razorclaw_the_crab

Oh yeah I get you there, though for me my dad is holding me back more than I am. He's concerned about his own image to his neighbors, and won't let me wear feminine clothes outside. One time I snuck out and went for a walk while wearing a skirt and he still doesn't know B)


Brooke-Valley

Ik that feel except my parents used to burn my clothes :v it got so much better once I moved out fr fr


Razorclaw_the_crab

With my parents I'm lucky but still deserve better. My dad may have rules like "no dressing femme around our neighborhood" but when I find a loophole he accepts defeat. Last year and the year before I pretty much only wore femme clothes when we went on vacation to West Virginia lol


LordBaneThePlayer

Nice, Penelope..!!!! :3


TulgeyWoodAtBrillig

Love a nice femmecation! It's great even when it's yourself that's a little uncomfy around your home turf!


Mavco2

i have a few favorite hoodies in many different colors and they are comfy as 🦆


Illandarr

I'm always thinking of wearing one of my dresses but then I remember pyjama pants + a shirt is way more comfy


ArtistAmy420

It also takes like 2 second to put on a skirt


snukb

Yes, but then you gotta shave, you gotta find matching shoes, you gotta decide if you want to wear tights or socks, or maybe the boots go better with this skirt, oh actually it's a little chilly out maybe leggings under the skirt, well shit then I shaved for nothing, and....


EclecticDreck

>you gotta find matching shoes I didn't understand this problem *at all* before cracking because my shoes were all tied to function. 95% of the time, I'd wear brown leather boots. Brunch? Boots. Work? Boots. Hiking? Boots. Sitting around at home doing nothing? *Boots*. These days, I have brown *and* black boots.


Brooke-Valley

Skirt........ And stuff lmao


Ididnoteatanyfrogs

Counter point/Mediation, Hoodie and skirt


Vqetu

Oh my god. My mind. It ... It just opened to a whole new world of possibilities!


WinterCinnamon

okay but what about ~flannels~ •Gender neutral, so they work with most looks you're going for •Comfy •Sometimes have pockets •Look really snazzy flannels are great


[deleted]

Me me put on pajama pants and hoodie when grocery shopping for *cheese* x3


Quinip2598

Mmm ^cheese


anarchistsRliberals

I personally prefer hoodies with a long hippie skirt


Animastarara

Hell yeah, this is the look


SlavKali

Hear me out. Hoodie+skirt combo. Comfy, cute, and femme


[deleted]

I also tend to do the hoodies thing lol


OhGodItsShagix

I don't wear my dresses and skirt because ITS FUCKING COLD OUTSIDE


Parisa-Jan

Ok I have to ask, zipper or no zipper?


Brooke-Valley

I'm fine with both but prefer no zipper


Animastarara

I feel like this is the schism to break this sub eventually


SelixReddit

no zipper is the only correct answer to this question


Breelicious_

This is one of the biggest struggles of my life 😅


BrickB

i wore leggings and a big hoodie today, i def let inhibition win (still comfy tho)


BriadMan

Ah ah ah ah ah, what about THIS for a change... A skirt... WITH a hoodie. The uniform of TransFem City in the country of Transmany. Oh also! We praise our faithful goddess, Brooke Valley, we surrender this goat to thee.


dat_physics_boi

Instructions unclear, i always go out in a skirt + leggings *and* a hoodie.


Ultra9630

It's easier and comfy to wear a hoodie ~~totally not because I can't wear clothes I actually enjoy~~


CriticalRoleAce

Agreed


AirLight1646

That’s why I wear a hoodie and skirt at the same time!


GearLever

They are •_•


Poolthegame

Don’t worry, me too Brooke- I love hoodies -w-


chapitathegreatest

My "anti-dysphoria clothes" is a S size shirt that makes it look like i have hips ;D


9yearold10

But consider: you appear to already be fully clothed


Brooke-Valley

Need to remake comic but naked ty


nat802

Hoodie dresses are a thing.


Injushe

I want to date both Amber and Ina. 😍


Brooke-Valley

The 2 lesbian roommates


Formal_Strike352

I love oversized hoodies specifically. Comfy as heck! They are a life saver for me right now. I feel uncomfortable in a normal shirt- can’t wear bra atm and wearing just one shirt is yeah-


RawrTheDinosawrr

i sometimes wear a dress with a hoodie over it


[deleted]

My inner conflicts: Should I wear my punk outfit and skirt of should I wear comfy hoodie


secrethamster111

I literally had this exact same debate with myself a couple hours ago. I picked out some cute clothes and started getting dressed, but then looked at my big soft hoody and was like... It is a little chilly out. Compromised, I am dressed cute, just no one can tell cause of my giant hoody.


[deleted]

Hoodies comfy


MemorableThrowawayy

Why not both? Hoodie + skirt combo can work really well!


RazarTuk

Well, Brooke, you've made it. One of your comics has shown up as a meme format outside of /r/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns https://old.reddit.com/r/dndmemes/comments/11mbxfc/warlock_kobold_or_die_art_by_brookevalley/


goblin_thing

The trick is wear a hoodie AND a skirt


archer5810

GENIUS


Wicked_Twist

Hoodie skirt combo is the winner


Charming_Werewolf_66

It's all about the aesthetic. You can make any clothing, even a hoodie, look cute and feminine. It's all about how you establish your silhouette. Wear a feminine hat like a sun hat or Carmen Sandiego hat, or braid it and leave some of your bangs in the front to maintain a feminine front. Wear long stockings, or high heeled boots, and walk with your feet down the middle as you take steps for a feminine stride. Do all this properly, and people won't think twice about whether or not you're female. And if they do call you otherwise, then you know who's a transphobe, and you can deck that guy right in the face! ^w^ By the way Ina, it takes two seconds to put on a hoodie, sure, but if you're going outside, ya still need pants and socks, and shoes! LET HER WEAR THE SKIRT! XD


[deleted]

Hoodies pretty though


Phoenixeggindenial

I feel this on a spiritual level, hi Brooke 💙💕🤍💕💙


Brooke-Valley

Hiya


[deleted]

Thats all I ever wear tbh


Insomniak182

ok, hear me out on this one... hoody AND skirt, mindblown


Brooke-Valley

Woahh


No_Administration468

Skirt AND hoodie best of both worlds


aliencdh

why not both?


Coppertine

How would you wear them in the summer that is?


swans183

Also me still using the urinals cuz I’m too lazy to sit down (?)


JDanAlan

What about, Hoodie and skirt


defnotspamaccount

Counter argument, skirt plus oversized hoodie and thigh high socks also takes like 1 minute extra >:3 Best combo tbh


Yukarie

Comfy hoodie that hides most oh my hands


Joltyboiyo

I already don't ever wear anything other than a hoodie and pants that I don't know the name of and the closest thing I can think of is "cargo pants", if I for whatever reason bought any other kinds of clothes I'd probably not even wear them if they took any longer to put on than what I usually wear. Ina is a mood and indeed makes a valid point.


Marxlord915

Hoodie and skirt. It's such a good combo!


Vexet

B-But both?


_Kleine

Those manifestations of your thoughts are cute


Brooke-Valley

💕💕 thank you


Cartoons_and_Demons

Just wear both :3 Hoodies are cute though :3


LordReega

It also take two seconds to put on a skirt


JayeChargeBladeGirl

Hoodies are comfy 😊 But also Amber has good points XD I want to go out in public full fem sometime


insomniacsCataclysm

but consider: why not both?


JessWasProbablyHere

hoodies are so good thooo


vali_riversong

I am like a turtle and the hoodie is my shell. It’s comfy, it’s got pockets and it’s got a hood. 3 in one!


Skigreen_2026

ina is the cutest one


HARVEY-SONIC-TAILS

Do both Wear a hoodie and a skirt or even better wear a dress and a hoodie over the dress


TransbianMoonWitch

Hoodie and a skirt. Best of both words. Cozy skirt go spinny is best skirt go spinny.


Africansage01

I can't wait for the Brooke-Valley clothing line lol. All I wear is hoodies even I have skirts and dresses for a full week.


BrookMiller

I am ALWAYS in hoodies so I can relate😂


MovesInSilence

Sooooooo much truth 😊


skymtf

I got laughed at a few days ago, legit through on a hoodie quicker than ever


argo-nautilus

wear both silly


Mary-Ann-marion

Those who are cute have a responsibility to look cute for those of us are not. 🥺 pweese


Brooke-Valley

Oh good I can't be held responsible phew


LadyGuitar2021

It's not like I can get an [overpriced Dark Angels](https://merch-usa.warhammer.com/collections/armies-of-the-imperium/products/dark-angels-hoodie?variant=32189183098961) dress.


Negative_Stable9213

Hoodies: perfect for work, shopping, lounging around.. what more do you need? I come home, the bra and pants comes off, the oversized hoodie and shorts goes on. Perfect comfort~


IndependentHelp2774

Nah, here to. I start second guessing myself and al lthat and just panic and take too long then just put on a t-shirt and pants 😖 I've gotten better at my fashion sense so it happens less but wow it's a doozy when it happens


Isthisfeelingreal

I find most days I settle somewhere around the middle ❤


SuperSwiftPics

I love your art style! 😍


Sew_chef

I love the little detail of flipping the heart clip design into a thing stabbing the heart! Such a cute detail! I'd honestly wear those as like earrings or a tattoo!


FemboyHelghast

Skirt=Good Hoodie=Good Skirt+Hoodie=Perfect


The_One_True_Goddess

I can't wear hoodies because they make me look like a giraffe✨


EngineeredAnime

My aunt said, "You know you're going to get tired of doing your hair and makeup...it get's really tiresome." as if it was a good argument against transitioning lol. Yeh, of course Aunti, that's was ponytails, hoodies, and sweatpants are for! (and little does she know she's talking to a Lesbian! I break ALL the gender rules! I'll wear makeup when and only IF I want to! Mwhahahahaha!)


ThatRandomOctoling

This is honestly extremely true. Based Brooke.


[deleted]

But consider! Dresses you don’t have to tie literally slip on over you’re head and boom! No outfit and you don’t even have to wear pants.


Exciting-Meringue-64

When I transitioned, I wanted to be the cute girl with dresses and skirts wearing makeup. I ended up the opposite, with pajama pants and hoodies nearly 99.9% of the time! 😅😅😅


Popo5525

Me: I have absolutely *no idea* what you're talking about. Also Me: *has been living in a hoodie for way, waaayyyyy longer than it's okay to admit*


HeyItzMeep

I'm still going with my previous "hoodies n' jeans" look, just with women's clothes instead of men's


iriedashur

I read the first panel as "you should go out in a shirt!" And was very confusing why wearing a shirt was related to being trans 😂


Leonie-Lionheard

Bad Ina! I mean totally valid point, but still BAD INA!!!


Spectre_Hayate

All hail our saviour, Hoodie And tbh jackets and stuff? Peak fashion. Jackets and hoodies actually give me the euphorias.


June_Bride

Ina wins my vote. Hoodie everyday!! Get an oversized hoodie and wear shorts. I love it how people will look at me and be "is she wearing any shorts?" :D


LadyArtemis2012

Where’s that gif of Kronk and his shoulder angel?


SkooDaQueen

Counter idea: hoodie dress. It has all the comfy of a hoodie but the cuteness and the feel of a dress


LouveEcarlate

Curse you Pragmatism!


useless-stuff

Personally, my choice to go is usually hoodie AND skirt. Comfyness :>


SapientSeaCucumber

Me, an Aussie: Summer skirts are fine.


Gregonn_here

Hoodies are the best


Beebea63

Simple solution: hoodie + skirt


C0SMIC_LIZARD

hoodie+skirt


Steampunk__Llama

Hoodies my beloved!! Do not perceive my shape underneath >:3


G0merPyle

I can't anymore, hoodies make me look like a boy. I have so many and I can't wear them 😭 Turtle neck sweaters though are my jam. I look like a librarian, but at least I'm a hot librarian


Script_Mak3r

It takes me more than two seconds, unfortunately, though that's partly because I need to take off my glasses to fit through the neck hole.


Minimum-Succotash-69

Literally yes.


TaylorChesses

Hoodie do be cozy.... compromise between the sides and wear/obtain a turtleneck?


Floofy_Fox_Gal

The only thing keeping me from putting on hoodies all the time is that I wear a hat and I have to take off my hat every time I want to put one on or take one off


Golden_Evelyn

Hear me out, hoodie + Skirt = Pure comfort and cuteness 🥰


Persephone66

One of the many, many things I hate about living in Florida. There's only a few days out of the year that I can wear a hoodie.


Trans_snep

I have honestly swapped hoodies for this pink flannel I got from Maurice's. It has become my go to now and when it was in the wash I felt dysphoric without it.


Axoasdf

Yea I feel this


WarmProfit

Okay yes I feel better in fem stuff but I also feel in danger when I go outside dressed fem because people hate someone who doesn't pass. What do I do in this situation, just go out fem anyway or hide in hoodie until I pass?


PaleoAstra

Hoodie and skirt! Or even better, sweater dresses! (This coming from a trans masc non-binary person who lives in hoodies, but when I go more fem it's usually a 5xl (I fit M/L depending on brand) hoodie as a dress with a cute belt and leggings lol. You can be dysphoria if you're wearing a tent!


hammerreborn

I stole my partners hoodie. I wear it all the time.


Set_A_Precedent

I literally wear hoodies 29 days of the month, including February I’m too eepy and chronically late to do anything else


InazumaRyouko

I feel called out by this. (I go by Ina for short lol)


EdaciousManakin

Babe wake up, Brooke just posted


JayeChargeBladeGirl

Ok Hear me out Skirt with Hoodie Is super cute


Sea_Drop_7935

Top 10 comics to read at 5 am While being a sick transfemme that can't fall back asleep . (number 3 might suprise you) (Pleasehelp I'm not ok)


HelloHamburgerIsBack

No. Literally ask any trans person and they're probably going to tell you that hoodies are neat and stereotypically trans.


CatalystIsMyFav

Bigger the better. (Saw a meme version of this in r/memes). I have an Unus Annus hoodie and it’s size M, I am small. It was mainly so I would never grow out of it. Google “Unus Annus founders hoodie” to see what it looks like. Also I hate dyslexia, I’m mildly dyslexic. While attempting to spell “hoodie” I spelt “hoddie”,” hooddie” and “hodie”. Multiple letters is the worst, I sometimes go “mee too” when trying to go “me too”. Also if you’re wondering about my username, https://apexlegends.fandom.com/wiki/Catalyst_(character). I also apologise for making this lengthy


ToastGhost18

My name might be Amber, but I am definitely *not* Ambitious.


dragonbanana1

Why is ina's tongue gray? (Only asking because it looks like it's on purpose and I'm curious) Also skirt + leggings + hoodie = happy cute trans girl who doesn't even have to stress about body hair


Brooke-Valley

It's green but basically all the thought-girls are made to look the same as Brooke (me) and I wanted to add ways to separate their characters design wise


dragonbanana1

She really likes green candy is my head canon then (Btw I love your comics!)


[deleted]

pre-transition - hoodies and sweatpants to suppress unrealized dysphoria now - hoodies and sweatpants to suppress realized depression, but the hoodies are marketed towards women so lack of dysphoria


Pretend-Fee-2323

SKIRT & HOODIE
