I’ve been a feminine dresser for as long as I can remember. When I was younger, I vividly recall creating outfits from my mom’s closet, strutting around in her highest heels and experimenting with her most colorful lipstick. I’ve always been drawn to frilly things like ruffles, sparkle, embellishments and of course, the color pink. Although the color is often tied to femininity, there are still many ways to look feminine without wearing pink!

Here are some tips on how to look feminine without wearing pink:
Lighter Neutrals
Any type of neutral can look feminine depending on the fabric, design details and silhouette, but lighter neutrals always seem to look a bit more feminine than their darker counterparts despite the garment design. For an ultra feminine look, go for camel, cream, white, and light grey.
Design Details
No matter the color of a garment, design details always add a bit of extra femininity! I always look for things such as embellishments, ruffles, swiss dots, bows, eyelet, sequins or embroidery. Textured fabrics such as faux fur, lace, tweed, chiffon, silk, brocade, and the like also add to that girly charm!
Silhouette and Fit
The silhouette and fit of a garment is key, no matter the color! Of course, dresses and skirts are seen as more feminine since they are typically the most figure flattering but you still can still look feminine in jeans, tees and a moto jacket if the fit is on point. Feminine dressers typically gravitate toward things that nip in at the waist but looser flowy garments are also very feminine if the fabric is soft and light.
Accessories
One of my favorite trends as of right now are hair accessories! I have been collecting hair accessories for over a decade, but I’m so happy to see them make a re-appearance in nearly every store and on every street style fashionista. If you’re style is more on the edgy or sporty side, pearl hair clips and headbands are the perfect way to add a bit of femininity! Another way is through jewelry. Dainty pieces that are delicate and romantic add the perfect feminine touch to any style of outfit and if you really want to go glam, add a statement necklace! Structured and even vintage-style handbags are also an easy way to add a feminine twist on an outfit. And as for shoes, go for some type of heel, pointed toe or a classic ballet flat style.
Lighter Makeup
Everything about the feminine style is light and airy…the fabrics, the colors and even the makeup. No matter what you choose to wear, give yourself a feminine look with barely there makeup – neutral eyeshadow, flirty lashes, blushing cheeks and a soft lip color.
Attitude
Above all, no matter what you’re wearing, being feminine is an attitude. It’s as much about being kind and compassionate toward others as it is being strong and confident in yourself. And while wearing the color pink doesn’t necessarily bring out these qualities in everyone, it’s a power color and serves as a reminder that even the most feminine woman can still be strong, powerful, confident and successful. As Anne Klein said…”Clothes aren’t going to change the world, the women that wear them will.”
