What Makes a Woman Look More Feminine?

Femininity, simply put is defined as a quality or attribute typically associated with being a woman. It can vary from person to person and culture to culture, but there are some common traits that are generally considered feminine such as:

  • Softness: Feminine women tend to have softer features like rounder cheeks, fuller lips and smooth skin.
  • Curves: Women's bodies are naturally curvier than men's,

And when it comes to what makes a woman look more feminine, or what a feminine woman is, is a woman who focus on highlighting their female attributes through beauty, makeup and fashion.

And while some may advocate that femininity can be a state of mind, when we think of femininity it is often the physical attributes that we are noticing.

So how can a woman look more feminine and attractive?

Let's start with clothes.

How to Dress More Feminine

It starts with the feminine outfits

There are certain physical attributes that are traditionally associated with dressing more feminine. And the typical it's the "hourglass figure" due to its defined waist and balanced bust and hip measurements. So when it comes to dressing more femininely, we use our naturally beautiful bodytype and style them in a way to complement our figure to create the natural hourglass.

For example, let say you are an apple body type wearing dresses with flowy fabric that cinches slightly above the natural waistline and delicate covers the midsection will help achieve this look.

Dressing More Feminine Tips -

Invest in staples.

Some staple pieces that are known to work well with all bodytypes include

  • Wrap dresses
  • Bodycon dresses
  • A-line dresses
  • Pencil skirts
  • A-line skirts
  • Trousers

These fashion staples will enhance your curves and create a more feminine silhouette.

Another tip is to choose fabrics that are soft and delicate appearing, such as lace, chiffon, and silk. These fabrics will drape beautifully on your figure and add a touch of elegance to your look. And while these are a must, finding suitable alternatives are just as important. And this leads me to 

MISTAKE 1 - Femininity does not mean expensive brands

One common mistake women make when trying to look more feminine is believing that they need expensive designer brands or high-end clothing pieces. However, this is not the case at all. You can achieve a feminine and attractive look with affordable options and still look just as sophisticated and stylish.

In fact, it's more about how you style your clothes and the material of the clothes rather than what brand they are from. That said, not all affordable clothing brands are equal. There are so many brands that focus on infinite quantity that they end up selling cheap and poor quality clothes that can hardly survive one wash. So, when it comes to affordable options, look for brands that focus on quality. 

When it comes to colors, pastel shades are often seen as more feminine and delicate, while bold colors can add a hint of femininity with the right styling. But be mindful to what your skin's undertone is. And that can help guide you to picking styles that complement your color tone.

MISTAKE 2 - Avoiding figure-hugging clothing

Another common mistake is avoiding body-hugging clothes. Many women believe that loose and oversized clothing will make them appear more feminine. However, this can actually give the opposite effect by hiding your curves and making you look boxy. Instead, opt for well-fitted pieces that accentuate your natural curves and create a more feminine silhouette. This can include bodycon dresses, pencil skirts, and high-waisted pants. However, leggings or yoga pants are not feminine while they are figure-hugging. (I know, I have my favorite pair that I enjoy wearing during my workouts or stroll but that's it. Opt for a comfortable trousers or dress instead of leggings)

And on that note, quality really matters when it comes to bodycon. You really want to look out for quality material that isn't cheap or plastic. So when you wear them, you don't come off looking cheap.

Tips for Enhancing Feminine Features

Hair

In addition to clothing, hair and makeup also play a significant role in creating a feminine appearance. Here are some tips on how to style your hair and do your makeup for a more feminine look:

Feminine Hairstyles for Different Face Shapes

Your hair is a crowning glory and can transform your entire look. Opt for styles that soften your features; whether it's lush curls, single braids or a graceful updo, the right hairstyle can bring out the feminine allure inherent in any face shape.

  • If you have a round face, try going for a defined side-part and voluminous waves to add angles and elongate your face.
  • If you have a square-shaped face, soft layers and bangs can soften your jawline.
  • If you have a rectangle-shaped face, try out shoulder-length layers or a layered bob to balance out the length of your face.
  • If you have an oval face shape, consider yourself lucky as most hairstyles will flatter your features
  • If you have a heart shaped face, opt for a side-swept bang and a layered bob to balance out your chin.
  • If you have a diamond-shaped face, go for long layers and add volume at the top to create symmetry with your narrow chin.

When it comes to braids, they are always a classic choice for a feminine hairstyle. Experiment with different types of braids such as fishtail, Single or French braid to add dimension and texture to your hair.

Makeup

Makeup is another essential element in creating a feminine look. It can add a touch of glamour and enhance your natural beauty.

Feminine Makeup Looks for Everyday

Go for soft, natural looks that enhance, rather than mask, your features. Think rosy cheeks, defined lashes, and a hint of color on the lips. Avoid heavy contouring and instead opt for a soft blush on the apples of your cheeks to give you that youthful glow.

Personal Care

Skincare Routines for a Radiant Feminine Glow

A skincare regimen that leaves your skin luminous underscores your femininity. Gentle cleansing, regular exfoliation, and deep hydration are the cornerstones of a glow-inducing routine. Incorporate products with skin-brightening ingredients like vitamin C and hyaluronic acid to reveal a radiant complexion. And don't forget to protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays by using sunscreen every day.

Exercises to Maintain a Healthy Figure

In addition to skincare, regular physical activity keeps your body toned and graceful. Incorporate exercises that focus on flexibility and strength, like yoga or Pilates, to maintain a physique that feels as good as it looks. Not too mention maintaining a healthy weight is important to promoting overall well-being. And as always remember to always consult with your doctor before starting a new exercise routine.

Fragrance - Subtle scent choices

Scent has a powerful influence on perception. Choose fragrances that resonate with your personality – whether they're floral, fruity or musk-laden. A signature scent can be the invisible accessory that completes your feminine statement. And it doesn't have to be one scent, but a blend of look that's your signature and unique to you.

MISTAKE 3: Going overboard with perfume

Less is more when it comes to fragrance. Overpowering scents can be a major turnoff and can even cause headaches for those around you. Stick to one or two sprays, focusing on pulse points like your wrists and neck, and let the scent subtly enhance your presence.

Bonus Mistake  - Investing in feminine energy courses and workshops before building a proper foundation.

While feminine energy courses and workshops can be beneficial, they should not be relied upon as a quick fix. Before investing in these external resources, build the foundation like having a healthy spiritual walk and lifestyle. We talk about that in our Chrisitan femininity blog so i won't go into it here.

But simple things you can do to have a healthy lifestyle includes eating well, maintaining a healthy weight, being active, developing a healthy spiritual life, reduce stress, indulging in self care, learning new skills, reading books, reducing your time on social media, and taking time to invest in your physical appearance a little each day.

These simple steps will help you to boost your confidence and build a strong sense of self-worth.

Kay's Journey to a More Feminine Self

"I changed my wardrobe because I wanted to be a certain type of woman...And since doing so, I received better responses and because of that I’m in better environments. I’ve noticed certain groups of men approach me now that didn’t before. Even the type of women who befriend me are more like-minded and aligned with me.
