Styling to Combat Dysphoria with Alixzander

Accessibility accommodations are available upon request to accessibility@br.org. Please give us two weeks’ notice.

Class Description

Our gender identity and how we express it are inextricably linked—and this class is all about the expression. For many of us, clothing can be a source of dysphoria, but it can just as powerfully be a tool to ease it. Learn to style your wardrobe in a way that aligns with your gender identity, quiets the dissonance dysphoria can bring, and makes room for real gender euphoria in how you show up to the world.

Taught by a former stylist, this course covers it all: how to flatter every body shape, how to build a personal aesthetic that’s unmistakably you, and how to wear your clothes instead of letting them wear you.

You’ll leave with confidence, a sense of control over your closet, and the know-how to turn getting dressed from a source of stress into a source of joy.
