Ways To Be More Feminine: 9 Lady-Like Essentials

These are nine ways to be more feminine with some lady-like essentials.

There is no ONE key thing that really makes a woman feminine. It is all the small details together that truly create a feminine presence about her. Creating something that others can feel.

Little details, not just in the way she looks, but details in these certain little things about her. They create that “something” about her. There are many lady-like additions that create this effect.

Listed below are just a few details and ways to be more feminine and create that feminine effect.

These are some little subtle things I have done that made me indulge in my femininity. Some are not so obvious or typical, and some are very old-fashioned lady-like behaviors. Please enjoy 🙂

Have A Signature Pen

A good pen goes a long way. There’s something so classy when a woman has a signature pen with her, even more so if it is personalized.

You never know when you’ll need one. And even if you are just using it to write a letter, a good pen that fits your hand nicely will ensure you have prettier handwriting than with a pen that’s just available.

A special tip: Practice your handwriting. Learn calligraphy. It’s truly a beautiful thing to see when someone takes some time to craft their handwriting. It’s a signature piece of you.

Carry A Good Book In Your Purse

If you are ever out waiting at the coffee shop for someone or sitting in a nice restaurant enjoying your time alone, it’s much classier and lady-like to have a good book with you to keep you occupied. A phone works as a great distraction, but there is just something much more charming about a book.

A feminine woman is naturally curious and inquisitive. A book is a fantastic way to refresh your mind and keep it ever-learning as I always say. An appetite for knowledge leads to learning, and learning leads to more opportunities.

Keep your spectrum of knowledge always flourished. Refuel it from time to time. And take pride in it.

Keep A Pair Of Classic Heels

Heels create an exceptionally lady-like look. Legs are highlighted. And your walk changes. Hopefully you practiced that walk. 😉 Not to mention they produce a sexy sound as you walk by, music to a man’s ears.

A pair of classic heels in a classic color compliment any outfit and simply elevate it. There is something so lady-like about wearing heels. It is a complete opposition to masculinity.

As I said before, heels just have an effect to change your walk into something confident, something dainty, or something seductive. They even hold a power in the way you stand. The way you carry yourself.

Practice walking in heels, and please to be cautious if you’re new. Start with a low heel.

Kitten heels are very pretty, and a great alternative if you don’t have a desire for high heels. I actually prefer kitten heels. Pretty and classic looking flats are a fine alternative as well if you do not prefer heels at all.

I have a pretty pair of flats that are of great quality and have lasted a long time. I slelected them in a pale pink shade and a gold emblem to add an extra dash of “feminine.”

Find Or Create A Signature Scent

There are some scents others have claimed as “over-played” or some that are “too simple, not complex enough.” I don’t listen to any critics. I “listen” to my nose and observe how others around me respond to my perfume.

Scent is such a personal choice. It has the ability to create an aura, a presence about you. It can heighten attraction and say something without having to actually verbalize anything.

Also, I personally have no desire in if a perfume is marketed as a day or night time perfume. To me, the scent is applied to create whatever effect you are wanting to create, whether it be for a date, or for you yourself.

Find one, or a few for a small collection you have to play with when you need that last piece to your outfit.

Have A Few Good Recipes Others Want To Covet

I mention baking & cooking in my writing, How To Feel More Feminine: A Womanly Approach. Cooking has the ability to invoke a warmth and a feminine, grown up womanly feeling within us.

Creating a meal with some passion or love really comes through in your cooking. Signature recipes can create memories. The scents produced when cooking or baking also have this effect as we know that scent has a strong connection with memory.

Have some dishes that you have taken the time to perfect that will have people “in need of this recipe, its just so delicious!”

It is your choice of course whether you will share your recipe or not, but having some signature dishes is just another personal touch in your femininity. It is another subtle way to create that feminine presence about your self and feel more feminine.

Have A Good Quality Purse

One that will last because it was properly constructed of good material. And one in a timeless design.

I have fallen in love with so many purses that I had purchased and took good care of even though they were super inexpensive. Each time I had to toss them out was heartbreaking.

Even with my care, they began to crumble after a certain time just because they were made of a very non-durable and cheap material. The design was exquisite, but the construction just couldn’t handle even the most delicate use after a short amount of time.

I began investing in quality bags, creating a tiny collection of good purses. They have yet to disappoint me. It is much more worth it to find a quality bag, mind you there are affordable ones. It does not have to be one that costs $500.00 or more.

There are brands that create great quality handbags far under $500.00. And you can find some gently used purses for even less than half of that.

Select a good material. And select a style that suits you, in a color that fits you and most of your clothing.

My personal favorite is my Rebecca Minkoff purse, pictured several times on my site. It is feminine but has an edge to it, that I love, to offset my delicate look.

In Purse Essentials: What Does A Lady Have In Her Bag?, I mention lady-like items to have in your purse.

Keep A Good Trench Coat

A trench coat is such a timeless piece, an essential for a lady. The structure of a trench coat can be transformative. It adds elegance, class, and sophistication.

A good trench coat will take you anywhere as it is highly appropriate for multiple occasions. Even a casual one. Because this coat is so structured, it can look expensive at a reasonable price.

Structured pieces tend to look more high end. A trench coat is one of those pieces that can look as if it costed a fortune. Because this coat is so structured, it can look expensive at a reasonable price.

The buttons, the belt, the collar, the shape. There’s so much character added to trench coats. These pretty little things can create curves, hide any “flaws,” and do so in a chic and classy way. It truly polishes an entire look and gives that lady-like effect in the most simple way.

Have A Flattering Dress: Preferably One That’s Day To Night

There is something about a dress that is pure femininity. Perhaps it’s the way it flows, as feminine energy does. Or maybe it’s the way it clings to your pretty curves and highlights your most favorite assets. Or possibly it’s the way it hides those assets creating an aura of mystery.

A dress is an essential in a woman’s feminine story. It even causes a woman to behave more feminine in her mannerisms, or at least I would hope. When wearing a dress, there are certain ways you have to sit so you don’t expose yourself or your undergarments. You must sit a bit more proper and lady-like to do so.

You may have to hold part of your dress up so when you walk, it doesn’t drag on the floor. It looks incredibly lady-like and elegant when a woman does this.

Have at least one or a small selection of dresses. If you only had one, select one that you can convert into a night time look with a pair of heels and some pretty jewelry.

Keep Your Nails Polished

When I say polished, it doesn’t mean they MUST have nail polish on them. Although that is a pretty addition to being more feminine. Having polished nails means having them look polished.

Keep them clean, neatly filed, and please try not to bite them.

Nails, as small of a detail as they may seem, are a big indicator of many things. If you overlook them and keep them in poor condition it can create some negative perceptions about you.

I once wrote about a woman at the bank who I really admire. One small thing was that she always had chipped nails. Always. Every time she presented my banking slip or withdrawal to me, I had an up close of her nails. I didn’t personally judge her for it, but in a way, this is mainly how I remember her. The girl with the chipped nail polish.

I love just using a simple clear polish, or whitening nail polish. They look prettier, more feminine, and help my nails actulally grow.

Remember what I stated earlier. There is no ONE main thing that really makes a woman feminine. It is all the small details together that truly create a feminine presence about her. And something others can feel.

These were just a few subtle ways to be more feminine.
