Default troublesome teenager

Hello. I am new to this group but looking at some of the posts I hope
someone may be able to help. I am struggling with knowing what to do
in a situation that is difficult. My 14 year old son is taking more
and more of an interest in women's clothes, even mine. I have always
let him play with the toys that he wanted and never forced boys toys
on him if be was not interested. He has boy and girl friends at school
but no regular girfriend. I buy him the clothes he wants or else he
will not wear them. Recently he has gone `emo' and taken to wearing
clothes that he says he likes even if they do not go together. It
started with colourful socks, pink and yellow and blue, and now floral
shirts. He is showing a definite liking for more and more feminie wear
and jokingly asked at the weekend if I could buy some girls pants for
him. I think he has been rummaging in my clothes drawers too as I have
noticed some things out of place. I have always been open minded with
him and allowed him to be himself but I don't want him to be teased or
bullied. I see little harm either if this is just a phase he is going
through. Has anyone any ideas as I am so unsure about what to do. I
have tried to talk with him but he clams up. Louise
