A popular world view is that clothes have no gender wear whatever you want. I Know about deuteronomy 22 5, and after reading Galations I gather the important thing is why the law was written, and did some interesting reading on the possible reasons such as forms of idol worship involving cross-dressing and attempting to gain access to places men aren't allowed (think today's bathroom nonsense).
I'm fairly sure trying to pass as the opposite gender is sin. But what about people who only use one or two garments for some practical purpose or fashionable purpose while still presenting as their own gender? Some things are actually unisex like corsets and tights, other items are so close it's hard to tell the difference. An example would be a wool jacket I bought last year from goodwill, it was only after I tailored it to fit that I noticed the buttons were on the wrong side, I figure If I didn't realize it no one would care. Then there's the whole application of historical costuming.
So, were do you feel the line should be drawn?
