Enhancing your feminine beauty is a wonderful way to embrace being a woman. If you’re 16 or even 70 being feminine does not necessarily mean you have to be girly. Instead adopting a classic style and elegant demeanor is one of the easiest ways to be feminine.

Let’s get right into all the things from elegant posture to subtle changes to your wardrobe that can help you achieve a more feminine look.

Some helpful tips for exuding femininity

One of the most important things to remember when you’re trying to be more feminine is that it’s not just about what you’re wearing on the outside – it’s also about how you carry yourself.

Femininity is largely about your attitude and demeanor. Having feminine body language is one of the most subtle ways to incorporate femininity into your life. It changes your mindset and also how others experience your presence.

  • Practice having an elegant posture. This will make you look and feel more confident and can help you give great first impressions.
  • Make eye contact when you’re talking to someone. This shows that you’re interested in what they have to say and that you’re confident in yourself.
  • Speak clearly and concisely. There’s no need to use big words – just say what you mean.

And finally, don’t forget to smile! Smiling is one of the easiest ways to make yourself and the people around you feel more comfortable and happy and it goes a long way.

Keep in mind being feminine does not mean being submissive and meek. You can be assertive and confident while still maintaining a graceful, ladylike demeanor.

How to Dress More Femininely

Dressing femininely helps to put you in the right frame of mind, and is simply a great way to change your attitude and demeanor.

One of the best ways to start dressing more femininely is by thinking about the colors and styles that you typically gravitate towards. If you tend to dress in more masculine or neutral colors like black, white, and gray, try adding some softer shades into the mix.

Take baby steps, even moving from a dark grey hoodie to a light grey hoodie will give you a slightly more feminine feel.

Even with a similar style, a lighter colored outfit gives off more vibrance.

When it comes to style, there are endless possibilities. If you typically dress in more casual styles, try adding some feminine details like a ruffle or some lace.

 Or, if you usually dress in more formal styles, consider playing with proportion by wearing a cropped top or a mini skirt. And don’t forget about accessories! Things like statement earrings, delicate bracelets, and pretty scarves can all help to make you look and feel more feminine.

Embrace your womanly curves

One of the things that make being feminine so special is our curves. We have all sorts of curves that men don’t have, and they can be a beautiful way to express our femininity.

Consider the waist, neck, collarbones, wrists, and arms – choose clothing that enhances our silhouette and curves. Some women feel self-conscious about their curves, but there’s no need to! Embrace them and love them, it also shows that you’re healthy. They’re one of the things that makes you unique and beautiful. 

Feminine Colors

When it comes to choosing colors for your feminine look, try to stick to softer, more muted shades. Less dark colors, try to buy more colors that are less saturated or pastel colors. Girly colors are generally brighter and more saturated as well; avoid these. You want your look to be soft and subtle, not so bold.

Bold hues

Some great colors to try are: Peach, Pink, Coral, Nude, Light Pink, Lavender, Pale blue, Dusty Rose, Light Grey

Anything in the soft, muted family is generally going to be a good choice for a feminine look. Bright and bold colors are useful when you want to have a stronger aggressive presence however with soft colors you will have a more gentle and soft presence.

Feminine Prints

When it comes to choosing prints for your feminine look, again, you’ll want to stick to softer, more muted patterns. Busy prints can look a bit too harsh and masculine, so try to avoid anything too loud or busy. Floral prints are always a good choice for a feminine look, as are polka dots and other delicate patterns.

Some great prints to try are: Floral, Polka dot, Gingham, Stripes, Chevron.

Again, anything in the soft, muted family is generally going to be a good choice for a feminine look. Just remember to stay away from anything too loud or busy – you want your look to be gentle and understated, not loud or over-the-top.

Feminine Fabric

When it comes to choosing fabrics for your feminine look, you’ll want to stick to softer, more delicate fabrics. Heavy fabrics like denim and corduroy can look a bit too masculine, so try to avoid anything too stiff or starchy. Instead, opt for softer fabrics like cotton, silk, or chiffon.

Some great fabrics to try are: Cotton, Silk, Chiffon, Lace, Satin, Linen

Feminine Accessories

When it comes to choosing accessories for your feminine look, you’ll want to stick to delicate, understated pieces. Having a collection of dainty, ready to wear pieces are easier to match

Some great accessories to try are: Dainty Necklaces, Chokers, Earrings and Rings.

You’ll want to stick to more delicate, understated pieces when it comes to accessories. Big, chunky jewelry are statement pieces and are beautiful in their own right, but they can hide your natural beauty and be harder to wear everyday.

Try to avoid anything too loud or over-the-top. Instead, choose smaller, dainty and delicate pieces to add to your jewelry collection.

Being Feminine is different from being sexy

While being feminine is definitely beautiful, it’s important to note that there’s a big difference between being feminine and being sexy. Sexy is all about showing off your curves and dressing in revealing, skin-tight clothing. Feminine style is about embracing your curves and wearing clothes that make you feel comfortable and confident.

So if you’re looking to add a touch of femininity to your look, try opting for looser-fitting clothes in softer fabrics, and avoid anything that’s too tight or revealing. And don’t be afraid to experiment with different styles and colors – there’s no one “right” way to dress femininely. As long as you feel comfortable and confident in what you’re wearing, you’ll look great!

Makeup is one way to begin your feminine journey.

When it comes to makeup, a few things can really help highlight your femininity.

Think of how we distinguish female from male cartoon characters. Feminine characters have luscious eyelashes, and have hues of pink on your cheeks and lips can help bring our your feminine side.

Here are three tips to get you started:

1. Focus on your eyes. A lot of women make the mistake of neglecting their eyes when doing their makeup, but this is a big mistake. A good eye makeup look can really make your eyes pop and accentuate your femininity.

2. Add some color to your cheeks. A touch of blush can really help to add some life and color to your face, and it’s a great way to enhance your femininity. Stick to soft, natural shades like peach, pink, or coral, and avoid anything too bright or dramatic.

3. Opt for natural-looking lips. When it comes to lips, less is definitely more when it comes to femininity. Try opting for a sheer lip gloss or lipstick in a natural shade like nude or light pink. Avoid using anything too dark or bold – you want your lips to look soft and subtle, not flashy or over-the-top.

Focus on your eyes

When it comes to doing your makeup, one of the most important things to focus on is your eyes. A lot of women make the mistake of neglecting their eyes when doing their makeup, but this is a big mistake. A good eye makeup look can really make your eyes pop and accentuate your femininity.

One way to start enhancing your eyes is by using mascara. If you don’t normally wear mascara, try opting for a lighter or more natural-looking shade. When applying mascara, be sure to use a light hand and wiggle the wand back and forth as you apply it – this will help to add some volume and thickness to your lashes.

Another great way to enhance your eyes is by using eyeliner. Again, if you don’t typically use eyeliner, try opting for light or natural-looking shade.

Gloss for your lips

When it comes to lips, less is definitely more when it comes to femininity. Try opting for a sheer lip gloss or lipstick in a natural shade like nude or light pink. Avoid using anything too dark or bold – you want your lips to look soft and subtle, not flashy or over-the-top.

A sheer gloss or lipstick will help to add a touch of color and shine to your lips without looking too made-up. And if you want to go the extra mile, you can even line your lips with a nude or light pink lip liner to help define their shape.

Light Blush

A touch of blush is a great way to add some life and color to your face – just be sure to stick to soft, natural shades like peach, pink, or coral. Avoid anything too bright or dramatic.

Silky Hair

Whether you have straight or curly hair, ensuring your hair has a healthy gleam to it makes you look more feminine.

Typically longer hair is associated with femininity and that’s because long luscious hair is a sign of health. In addition if it’s well kept, it should shine and look slightly silky. Using hair oils, heat from curling and straightening irons are a way to get that gleam. It also helps you to have a great hairdo everyday.

I hope you see a recurring theme here, many feminine aspects of life involve capturing light and using it to create a gleam in our looks.

From our foundation having a dewy undertone, lip gloss, and silky hair, having a healthy gleam is very feminine. When we think of the sun, it’s vibrant and full of life, in the same way femininity is about embracing our nature as women in which we create life.

If you’re not sure where to start, don’t worry.

1. Start by assessing your current style. Do you tend to dress more tomboyish or more feminine? Or are you somewhere in the middle? If you’re not sure, take a look at some fashion magazines or blogs and see what styles appeal to you.

2. Once you have an idea of the direction you want to go in, start slowly incorporating more feminine pieces into your wardrobe. Start with the basics such as clothes with soft materials that show a feminine shape and some delicate jewelry.

3. Pay attention to your grooming habits. Most women tend to have fairly natural makeup routines, but there are definitely ways to make it more feminine. Instead of a matte foundation, try a dewy or luminous one. Switch out your black liquid liner for a brown pencil liner. And don’t forget to add a pop of color with blush or lipstick!

4. Finally, think about your overall attitude and demeanor. Do you tend to speak softly? Are you polite and well-mannered? If not, there’s no need to change who you are – but you might want to consider toning it down a bit. Remember, being feminine doesn’t mean being meek or submissive. It’s simply about being confident, graceful, and ladylike.

Final Thoughts

Now that you have all the basics down, ultimately, being feminine is all about exuding a warm, soft and gentle feeling. Experiment with soft colors, different textures and accessories until you find something that can help you be the best feminine and elegant version of yourself.
