Did you know you only have 7 seconds to make a first impression?
If you want to start crossdressing or presenting yourself as a woman, making a strong first impression is key!
In this blog post, I’ll share 7 easy ways to ensure you leave a feminine first impression that lasts. Let’s dive in!
1. Know What You Want to Project
Start by figuring out what image you want to project:
- Do you aim to blend in as an everyday girl?
- Or do you prefer to stand out as a gender-bending fashion diva?
- Do you want to be recognized for your style and sophistication?
- Or do you simply want people to notice your great legs? 🙂
Knowing your desired image helps you align your appearance and attitude with your goals.
2. Be Aware of Your Body Language
Body language is critical to first impressions. You never want to look nervous, shy, or on the opposite end of the spectrum, arrogant.
Instead, project the image of a classy, confident lady deserving of respect.Â

3. Wear The Right Color
Did you know that 50% of all non-verbal messages come from color? It’s true!
The colors you wear have a strong impact on how people perceive you, especially when presenting as a woman.
In this blog post, I share the meanings of different colors so you can choose shades that flatter you and boost your confidence.
4. Check your Grooming Habits
Physical attractiveness often boils down to self-care – grooming, neat hair, and stylish clothes.
Luckily, your presentation is within your control! Don’t underestimate the power of good grooming – it can make or break a first impression.Â
Here are 5 feminine grooming habits to incorporate into your routine.
5. Mind your Shapewear
The shape of your body powerfully broadcasts your gender expression in an instant. To appear as feminine as possible, consider investing in quality shapewear, such as:
- High-quality breast forms
- A waist cincher or corset
- Hip and butt padding
Shapewear helps create the right body proportions and feminine curves.
6. Dress for the Occasion
Have you ever found yourself overdressed or underdressed for a particular occasion? Not only do you feel awkward, but you stick out like a sore thumb!
Ensure a positive first impression by dressing appropriately for the occasion and adhering to local style norms.
7. Accessorize for Impact
Accessories can make or break an outfit and your first impression.
A high-quality handbag or beautiful shoes can elevate your look, while scuffed shoes or mismatched accessories can do the opposite.
Add the right touches, such as beautiful jewelry or a flattering pair of sunglasses, to enhance your feminine appearance.

I always walk in the door confidently and with a smile! A smile makes a huge difference as to how you will be preceived. Are you happy, grumpy, nervous, unsure … walk in smiling ladies!!
Well Wanda, you are Gorgeous!!!
Well I get the ultimate faux pas for answering my apartment door totally unprepared when maintenance showed up unexpectedly. Still not thinking feminine enough although I’ve fully transitioned and blindly answered the door unshaven! Thankfully he is very nice and I recovered by shaving as he was working. He even put a picture up !
I go at as pregnant mom to be.I go out with other mom’s yo be,having a great time shopping for maternity clothes.
I gauge my outfits on my business goal for the day, new client, new client out in the country(no heels), dinner date, late night contact
I try and do these every day I am out in public. I will say that at my age I do not dress like I am 25 and look slutty. I do go out very often with no make-up and I never have a problem as in most part I look like a grandmother. I try to avoid hand shakes as way to many germs on the hands.
I find that a friendly smile along with eye contact and a very slight little nodding of the head to left or right sets a good feminine first impression. I also if someone extends their hand for a shake, I offer them the hand on the same side. If they offer you their right hand as a normal hand shake, offer them your left with your thumb down so palms touch. I have found this to express a very feminine style. The smile leads the way, but the eyes do the talking.
You look beautiful, Bobbi
Thank you 2
I agree with Nikki!!!
I know this may sound uptight, stuck-up, or maybe even a little mean, but I personally don’t feel like I should have to make an impression on anyone, except for a girl who expresses an interest in me, or vice versa; I just simply go about my own business… and as a lesbian trans girl, it really irks me when guys try to hit on me, but I keep calm and tell them I’m not interested.
For me I just want to blend as a every day woman where ever I go. I never have a problem with being accepted as a woman where ever I go. Here is me after a day yesterday shopping. By the way, I’m 72, what do you think?
No wonder you don’t have a problem . You look fantastic . Blending skills top notch . Keep on keeping on girlfriend . x
