Putting on a dress and lipstick aren’t the only ways to express your femininity. (Women are a bit more complex than that!)
That’s why I wanted to go beyond the obvious and share some “unexpected” ways to be more feminine.
Ready to boost your womanly allure? Try these 3 tips:
1. Buy a New Perfume
The right perfume can make you feel irresistibly feminine.
While it’s great to have a signature scent, it’s also good to switch things up sometimes.
Since scent is strongly linked to memories, your current perfume may no longer represent who you are.
If that’s the case, it’s time to go shopping! Look for a perfume that matches the feminine qualities you want to express NOW:
- Try a floral scent if you want to convey your soft, romantic side.
- Try a woody or oriental scent if you want to bring out your inner seductress.

2. Be More Polite
Numerous studies have shown that women are more polite than men. Great manners can significantly enhance your feminine image.
Here are 3 things to keep in mind:
- Always remember to say “please” and “thank you.” These little words go a long way!
- Use softeners in your language. For example, instead of saying “I can’t hear you” say, “I’m sorry, I can’t quite hear you.”
- Consider how you come across online. Remember, it’s as important to be polite in emails and online as it is in person.
3. Loosen Up
Want to instantly improve your feminine image? A simple secret is to loosen up. This applies to your body AND your mind.
First, loosen up your body.
Women are naturally more limber than men. If you have a tense and tight body, it’s going to translate into stiff, jerky movements – the opposite of feminine and graceful.
To loosen up:
- Consciously relax your body, especially your jaw and shoulders.
- Stretch your muscles on a daily basis.
- Take lots of deep, relaxing breaths.
This will do more to feminize your movements than all the hip shaking in the world!
Next, loosen up your mind.
The happiest crossdressers and transgender women I know don’t get hung up on “passing” or trying to please everybody.
Instead, they embrace who they are while constantly striving to improve themselves.
Life is short, so above all, relax and enjoy the journey!

I just try to do everything aruund the house as feminine as possible. Not mincing, prancing, but as i have observed my Mother and Sisters doing things. Admittedly not easy at times.
I also mentally recite Coulett’s mantra “…. each and every day i will try to do better in every little way…” almost a century old but still effective.
Love to All

I want to affirm that a smile can sure set a positive mood where ever you are. It’s positive energy, your happiness, brightens up a room in amazing ways that is often reflected back to you from other person’s own smiles.
Also… don’t be in a rush. Enjoy the moment. So many persons forget this especially during the holidays. Relax… smile… and enjoy your family and friends in your life.
I feel especially feminine when I put on my favourite pair of heels and some perfume and makeup! I’ve been studying to become a nail tech and now that I’m almost qualified, I’m in touch with my feminine side for most of the day and not to mention, I’m always surrounded by woman in my new found profession which helps me with my feminine ways!
It probably helps that I live FT now. I love getting a little dressy and hanging out with my best BF and sipping wine and watching chic flics. Giving myself an at home facial and pedicure or oing down to my local dyke bar and flirting with the cute butches don’t hurt either.

One the most wonderful things I discovered when I transitioned was the freedom to not be in control. I discovered I could be publicly vulnerable (and yes, I do still remain wary..) and didn’t have to seem to be in control of every situation. I could let the world flow around me. Another wonderful discovery was that as my voice still isn’t where it should be, I learned to be quiet. Another loss of control so to speak, and I found that being quiet and listening more brought its own rewards.
Love this, Dana! You really get the essence of femininity. Pushing is not the only way to be powerful. 🙂
That’s a wonderful observation. I too love the idea of being vulnerable and just letting things flow. However, I have been taking voice lessons for quite some time and this experience helps with confidence. In addition creating you new voice helps identify with your female side.
What I do to feel more feminine is walk.. I observe how I normally walk and I pull my shoulders back pick my head upand start to walk!! Something simple!!
Krystal, I am the same way. I love how it feels to dress up. but when I start walking in my high heels, I feel so feminine and almost girly. When I’m out to a bar, I often get up to walk around because of how warm and feminine I feel inside.
