Summer is around the corner (here in the Northern Hemisphere at least) and I couldn’t be more excited!
While warm weather has its beauty challenges, summer a great time to be a girl. There’s nothing like stepping out en femme in a cute sundress or sexy bikini.
Ready to turn a few heads this season?
Here are 7 tips – specifically for crossdressers and transgender women – to help you look extra sexy and feminine this summer.
1. Don a pair of oversized sunglasses
Oversized sunglasses are trendy, sexy, and glamorous. The secret to pulling them off in style is to choose flattering frames:
- If you have angular features, choose rounded frames to balance out your face.
- If you have a round face, angular frames are most flattering.
2. Highlight your hair
Nothing says summer like highlights, so add some highlights to your hair or pick up a highlighted wig. By the way, girls of all ethnicities can wear highlights. Auburn, chocolate, or dark blonde highlights – as seen here on the stunning Laverne Cox – look fabulous with dark hair.
3. Get a tan
Suntans are sexy and make your body look thinner and more toned. Instead of frying in the sun, why not indulge in a spray tan from a salon? Airbrush spray tans cost $25-$50 and last about a week, so they’re a great thing to do before a special event or girly photo shoot. If you prefer a DIY option, try a sunless tanner like Jergens Natural Glow.
4. Change your perfume
Changing your perfume is a great way to get into the mood for summer. Take a break from heavy, musky fragrances and choose something light and fruity for the summer. My current favs are Fresh Sugar Lemon, DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom, and Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh.
5. Remove body hair
There is nothing as sexy as smooth silky skin, so this is the time for a full body shave or wax. I guarantee you’ll feel very girly! You’ll also feel cooler and smell fresher – another plus for the feminine experience.
6. Lighten your lip color
Summer is the time to trade in those deep lip colors for something fresh and light. Soft pink, coral, and nude shades are perfect for a warm weather look.
7. Invest in a new dress
For my last tip, I am giving you permission to go shopping! A sexy new sundress is a great way to kick off the summer. Look for flowing, gathered styles to create the illusion of curves.
