The key to looking more feminine is choosing clothes that fit your body type and personality. Details are important in helping to accentuate your positive attributes. For day, choose skirts that are tailored, but not skintight. A-line skirts slightly above the knees, and pencil skirts with a respectable side slit work well with most shapes, especially when topped off with a fitted knit sweater. Add a pair of heels with a pointy toe and you're set. For evening, choose dresses that flow over your body, like chiffon and silk. Ruffle details on peasant blouses and dresses add a flirtatious whimsy. Experiment with what makes you comfortable.
