This attire does not possess the characteristics of lawful Islamic covering in front of non- men, because it is tight and describes the woman's figure. Therefore, it is not permissible for a woman to appear in it before non-mahram men unless it is covered by another concealing garment. However, if the questioner will appear in it only before women, and her question is about imitating men, then the forbidden imitation is that which is specific to men. As for clothes shared by both genders, there is no objection to them.
