Learn to sew. Even if you hate it. Because from what you've said in the comments, you have a body shape which is going to be difficult to find flattering clothes for no matter where you are in the store. If you know how to alter clothes, or better yet make them from scratch, you'll be able to make what you want, in the fabric you want it to be in. (I shop the men's department because most of the clothes out there for women are made out of tissue paper.)

Hang around with the cosplayers. Yes, I know you're not cosplaying, you're going for everyday clothes, but cosplayers are likely to know how to sew, and very likely to know the best vintage/used stores where you can find cheap clothes to experiment with when you're learning to alter storebought clothes.

Think boots. Especially workboots. Won't kill your ankles and don't look particularly masculine or feminine, just practical.

And anyone who thinks that women have soooo many options for clothes and it's all wonderful and of course you can wear high heels for one day and just suck it up sister can go jump in a lake. Women's tops have sleeves of stupid lengths, high heels can kill your ankles in five minutes, and dresses - feh! Unless you're willing to spend over a hundred bucks they either make you look like you're on the make or you borrowed your clothes from your grandmother.

Wear what you like wearing.

I have to agree with the mouse. Your best bet is learning to sew, OP, at least enough to modify store-bought clothing. A few darts in the right places can turn the oversized sloppy band-shirt into a well-sitting but not 'girly' band-shirt.
Pants can be harder to modify in anything but length, but pants should also give you less problems, especially jeans.

And indeed, look into boots. There are more comfy-but-snappy cuts in women sizes for boots, and under long pants, no one will notice much that they are boots in the first place.

Also, if you learn sewing, you can shop more safely for clothes online, thus vastly broadening your range of choices.
