I was wondering if you could give me some tips on how to dress more girly. Most of my life I have shied away from wearing dresses and skirts, but now that I’m older I want to really embrace my femininity. I normally wear jeans and a t-shirt, and want to change that.
I am in AZ most of the time for college, so light and air outfits would be best since it’s so hot . I’m also mid sized, so I wear a 12-14
I'm glad to hear that you are embracing your femininity!
Being more feminine is how you define it and is not only centered on wearing dresses and skirts. Your new feminine wardrobe has to be practical for your everyday life. For example, I work in a lab so when I was updating my wardrobe I kept most of my pants but swapped out my t-shirts for nice blouses.
I have also noticed that paying attention to details like accessories, such as jewelry and hair decorations, play a bigger role in dressing girly because they provide feminine details. So consider investing in quality dainty jewelry. Other details to pay attention to include keeping your clothes wrinkle and stain free and your shoes/heels clean.
Additionally, buying clothes that accentuate some of your feminine features, like your legs, also helps in dressing more feminine. However, do not show off too much skin, stick to one main feature.
It also benefits significantly to get some clothes tailored so that they fit properly.
Avoid anything too gaudy and flashy.
Over the shoulder bags are more feminine that bags with double straps.
Heels also help with dressing more feminine but stick with low chunky heels that you are able to walk in since you will be on campus.
I provided 5 options and based on your location, I focused mostly on cool colors. Neutrals are classic colors and pink and red are synonymous with feminine style but do not forget that pastels and earthy tones are also gorgeous feminine options.
A lot of the options below are also affordable.
