How to Be More Feminine

Ela·
How to be more feminine | It is all about the way we feel about ourselves. With a few changes in daily routine can affect your femininity. Click through to check out all the tips.

Have you ever had a moment where you look at the mirror, you just don't feel like you used to? Feeling like there's something missing... It happens, it happens to many of us. We get so caught up in the moment that we forget to do the things that make us feel like a woman. How do we change that? The list can get pretty long when it comes to how to be more feminine, but it is all about what you want to change in your life to achieve that.

There may be so many factors that would stop you being the way you used to. We are still living in a man dominated world in some areas, we think in order to survive and be successful we have to be like how men are, masculine, work focused and also think like men. Ok, there's absolutely nothing wrong with focusing on work, but you shouldn't also forget your feminine side. We shouldn't let the world turn us into something we are not. You can be hardworking in your fancy heels and pretty makeup, you can still achieve more than what men do! Being feminine doesn't have to mean only being girly, it should be all about feeling confident about who you are and what you do. Come on, who wouldn't like to get that feminine side out to spice things up?

You don't need to make big changes to feel more feminine, even making small changes can boost up your confidence. Also if you don't feel comfortable doing these things in public, you can start doing them at home and see if you love it then it might give you confidence and you to get used to it. Start with small baby steps to get where you want to get, don't be afraid to show your true self when you work on how to be more feminine. Now, let's talk about how to be more feminine...

How to Be More Feminine

Start Your Day Positive and Energetic

Good start to a day is the best thing, a day where you don't rush around but take your time to get dressed and enjoy  your hot cup of coffee (or whatever you feel like drinking). To make things better, pick a song that would give you positive energy, maybe something girly. You might know what songs you have are good at changing the mood, so instead of listening something slow and depressing, play confidence boosting songs then you will see the effects of it throughout the day. For once, decide that you won't care what others think about the way you dress or the way you feel, you don't need these judgy people in your life. Start your day deciding that you will be more feminine...

Don't Be Afraid to Wear Heels

If you're working in an office, full of men, then you might just get into routine of wearing flat shoes or trainers for not getting much attention. Maybe you hate the stares of your colleagues when your heels make noise and they find it annoying, so you end up sacrificing wearing heels just to stop this awkward situation and also who doesn't like comfortable shoes right? Well, heels make noise, but they also look so damn good, therefore instead of thinking about others, put yourself first. Wear your heels and let them get used to the noise it makes as you walk. This might boost up your feminine side as well.

Wear Something Different

There's a myth that women only wear matching underwear and bra, when they are on a date or have something special coming up. If that's the case then we are doing it for others, rather than for ourselves. Why don't you do something to change that? Feeling more feminine starts within, even though no one might be seeing it just wear matching pair. Also, lace pair might be better pick because it will look way sexier than the regular push up bra set!

Change Your Mood at Home

Who wouldn't like being in comfy cotton PJs when they get to home after a long day at work, or after spending hours looking after the kids. Being comfy sounds dreamy, but you don't need to be in your granny PJs to feel comfortable, do you? You can pick up silk PJs or a nightie, it won't only feel so soft on the skin, but also it will definitely help you change your mood and feel more feminine. Also if you want to take things a little further, why don't you watch Marilyn Monroe films? Her energy will make you want to change yourself.

Don't Be Afraid To Try New Things

We get so used to the routines that after awhile change sounds scary. You might be wearing the same hair style for years or the same makeup without changing anything, because you like to play safe. Getting used to a routine isn't good, it might be in some cases, so instead we should discover new things. Beauty routine shouldn't be boring, so do something different. If you can only wear nude lips, change it to bright lips. You might think it is not your true self then at least do it when you're alone and pose in front of the mirror, you will be having so much fun doing that. Even changing your fragrance can make a difference. Fresh scents are good, but why don't you try something more feminine, like Chloe Love Story? Also, go to a hair dresser to change the hair style that you get used to tying up, have a blow dry or even change the hair colour, change can be so good! Don't hide your beauty and show the world your true beauty.

Don't Be Afraid to Be Your True Self

Last but not least, just don't be afraid to be yourself. Don't be afraid to laugh out loud or don't try to your body image, wear things that flatters you. When we let the world change us, we take a path that turns us into different people than what we really are. We shouldn't be afraid of showing our women sides, we should be proud of who we are. You shouldn't be afraid to wear heels or short skirts to show off yourself, if that's what you want, you should just do it without worrying what your colleagues or community would think about you. Don't be concerned about what others think, just live your life as how you want it to be.

I am sure everyone has their own ways of how to be more feminine, it is all about wanting it. Do you think we are affected by the community? What do you think about this situation? Why do we let the world change us? What do you do to feel more feminine? What are your "how to be more feminine" secrets?

Very nice post Ela, I agree about the fear of wearing high heels in the office at least that was the case for me too in a previous job. But why not just wear them if it makes you feel good?

Great post! However, according to this, I am not feminine at all :D I can't walk in heels, always have mismatched underwear and have the ugliest, but the comfiest PJs :D I think it's all inside of you. I feel great in my All Star shoes and my cute underwear that doesn't match, and I do feel feminine.. I love an occasional pamper, though. That is what makes me feel special and feminine :) I guess that's a very individual thing :) http://beautypeptalk.blogspot.hr/

You kinda described my situation at the moment :) however when I do all these, I kinda feel like tomboy :) it is all about the way we feel, it doesn't matter what you wear or what you do. If you are happy about how you are, then this is the best feeling ever :)

I think that I act and dress very feminine but at the same time I think "like a man", meaning I'm not very emotional and I'm very ambitious and career-orientated. But I definitely have days when I want to be more girly so this post is great inspiration for that! Especially wearing matching underwear, even though no one else sees it it's always a confidence booster.

I am carrier oriented too! I guess I chose the wrong field for doing all these things, being a mechanical engineer and working with men all the time made me stop doing most of these things. Men are wining all the time, so annoying!

Shireen7 Mar 2016

I have always describe myself as tomboyish because I am not your average, girl next door, gentle and soft spoken kind of woman. I also used to curse like a sailor and am never afraid to speak my mind but all that aside, I have a very feminine side. I love my red lipstick, my heels and my pretty manicures. I guess that makes me a well balanced woman? LOL! Shireen | <a href="http://reflectionofsanity.com" rel="nofollow">Reflection of Sanity </a>

Loved this post a lot. I feel like this most days - always changing into granny jammies as soon as I enter the house and because I'm taller than my boyfriend, heels have gone out the window. But there's a lot to be said about feeling amazing in a pair of killer heels and wearing something silky and sexy and feeling good about your femininity again.

I love feeling feminine and sexy, we all do, don't we? That's why I get up a bit early to put a makeup on, even if it's very simple it makes me feel better. High heels, fresh manicure and red lipstick are definitely essential when I want to feel super feminine. There's nothing wrong with trying to be feminine, we are women for God's sake, it doesn't mean we can't be clever or smart or make prestigious careers. x <a href="http://mummysbeautycorner.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">Mummy’s Beauty Corner </a>

This was such a cool read and it made me think quite a bit. In a way I feel like a very boyish girl: I love wearing trainers and trousers and I love all sorts of sports. But then again I'm hugely into makeup and clothes... I guess for me being feminine means to be a healthy and confident person who knows who she is, and can do things she loves, no matter if they're feminine or masculine. Gender equality is such an important subject! Thank you for bringing it up lovely <3 I hope you have a lovely week gorgeous<3 Emma xxx www.wellemma.com

I'm all for wearing heels, in fact I very rarely wear anything other than heels these days haha! I've always been quite feminine, though I often forget to try to wear new/unusual things, so thanks for that tip :) Gabrielle | <a href="http://aglassofice.com" rel="nofollow">A Glass Of Ice </a>x

Wearing high heels everyday is a dream! My comfy flat shoes are more tempting than heels :) x

I've never described myself as feminine but I think it would be fun to give it a shot. Although I don't think I'll ever like wearing heels, haha! Love, Richel. | <a href="http://www.richelgoes.com" rel="nofollow">Richel Goes Places</a>

You can still feel feminine without wearing heels, even switching your lipstick to something you're not used to can give you that confidence!

I absolutely LOVED this post and the empowering message behind it, lovely! My fave quote, if I may quote you, is "being feminine doesn't have to mean only being girly, it's all about confidence in who you are and what you do". Amazing! The tips were really great - heels and more feminine items that make us feel beautiful and proud of who we are - I am all for it! These pieces of advice apply to relationships so well too. Even though I've been married for 1.5 yr (that's not long but still lol), I never wear a slouchy super old PJs in front of my husband. And not because he might not like it (that guy is a keeper, he nursed me back to health from the most disgusting sinus infection). I do it for MOI - I feel more confident and happy wearing new, perfectly fitted and pretty outfit. As a result, I feel good and happy = positivity & love-filled home <3 Great post, babe!! Hope your week is going super great! xox Nadia http://www.mielandmint.com/

We should do things firstly for ourselves and then for others. For now I love being in my comfy pjs but I need to change that once I'm with my soon to be husband. When I dress up and pamper, I feel more confident, they are definitely confident boosters:) I hope you're having an amazing week, Hun! x

Love these tips! For me, I just make sure to do my face every single day. I used to never wear makeup. I'd also only put it on when I'd go out. But I feel like putting my face on every single day helps me feel so much more feminine.

I am in that situation at the moment, I am always too lazy to put makeup on, so it is something I should really work on!

I love this post! Your message is absolutely spot on. Like Connie I had fallen into the trap of only wearing make up when I am going out, until I realised this meant I was doing it for others. I now wear it every day x

I was/kinda still am that way, I should work on changing that! I should do things for myself then for others!

What a nice post Ela! Staying true to yourself is so important! I don't think I have any secrets on how to be feminine,but I definitely love a bold lipstick and a nice pair of heels! http://carolinapage.eu

Think this happened to me when I first become a mum, I felt quit lost and just not like myself but eventually I got back to my old self. These are all just great tips and a beautifully written post :) x <a href="http://www.beautywithcharm.com" rel="nofollow">Beauty with charm</a>

In your case it is understandable! So many responsibilities and so much to focus on can change your life dramatically. Once we get the confidence back then things get back to how they used to be. Thank you so much :) x

Marvellous post, and I agree regarding the matching underwear. I particularly love shopping for lingerie, and definitely dress for myself first. I always feel feminine and confident with wearing lace and a favourite lipstick. This is the second blog today that I've read about that Chloe Love Story scent, I must check it out. Thanks! <3 /Madison <b><a>Paris Street Style</a></b>

Small things like that can boost up the confidence and make you feel more feminine. We shouldn't do things to impress others but do them for ourselves first.

Such a lovely and refreshing post, i really want to go back to wearing heels, even though they kill my feet, but that is something that instantly gives you a moral boost and in a way make you feel a bit sexy too, haha. Sam || <a href="http://www.abeautydetour.com" rel="nofollow">Beautydetour</a>

This was a really interesting post to read, especially because at times I feel like I'm perceived as so girly and feminine, but I just don't often feel it! I think because I never wear dresses or skirts and in my head I've sort of associated those with being very feminine things, if that makes sense? I do love the idea of wearing heels more though, I'm fairly tall even without heels so sometimes I get nervous to wear them in public because I feel like a giant. Definitely shouldn't let that stop me though! www.thesundaymode.blogspot.com.au

This post is so on point and it's so inspiring. I think, like you said, many of us over look certain things in our life, in ourselves, and we often stop to wonder what exactly is it that other people have that we don't. And the answer is, nothing. It's up to us. It's always up to us. I've recently been made to start wearing heels for work everyday so I can definitely say that it's been a challenge but I've also started feeling much better about myself and I've started feeling way more feminine. Being afraid of being ourselves - such a heavy truth. I think that's why we spend most of your lives unhappy with who we are. <a href="http://www.ellapinto.com" rel="nofollow">Ella Pinto</a> xx

I wouldn't call this post "how to to be more feminine", more like "How to feel more empowered as a woman"!. This was such a fab post! Angie |<a href="http://www.chocolateandlipstick.com/" rel="nofollow"> Chocolate & Lipstick | Beauty, Fashion & Lifestyle Blog </a>

Wow! I saw the name of this post and I was like 'ooooooo ;)" haha! I would love to start doing this and start wearing my heels again! It's been so long that I need to get used to them! And you are so right about the noise thing! Something about it makes you feel more feminine. Nati www.littlemissnati.com

A very inspiring post indeed :) Who doesn't enjoy spending their day in their PJ's hey? but even better in silk PJ's that's for sure. One aspect which really makes me feel feminine even if I choose not to wear any makeup at all is perfume! I spray it on throughout the day, and when I go to sleep at night. Also, use a lovely face cream when you wake up and before you go to bed, so quick and easy. Laura xo www.shehearts.net
