7. Dress in a Feminine Way

Men value quality women, and one way they decide what type of woman you are is by the way you present yourself. Men who are seeking a life mate/wife prefer to see women dressed in a feminine way, not in an overtly sexy way. I’m not suggesting that you dress like an Amish woman. You want to look as attractive as you can without flaunting it all. Men want something to work for.

Wearing a dress or skirt is what differentiates us from men and their masculine clothing. If your closet is predominantly filled with pants (like mine was) then you’ll want to add feminine dresses or skirts to your wardrobe. Try several styles and colors until you find what’s most flattering. If possible, invite your man or a male friend to go with you and sit outside the dressing room. He can offer his opinion while you model different dresses for him. Many men won’t mind helping because you’re giving them a specific and important task by asking for feedback from a man’s perspective. Men generally don’t mind shopping if it’s for a definite purpose where they feel needed and it doesn’t take too long. They may even enjoy it because it implies that you value and trust their opinion, which makes them feel masculine.

Be sure to buy dresses or skirts that accentuate your curves, especially your waistline. A thin belt can also help you achieve the hourglass look. Don’t wear a belt that’s too wide. Remember, wide belts remind men of workmen’s tool belts.

Don’t wear dresses with busy, bold patterns or lots of added adornments such as bows, ruffles, buttons, or pockets. These extras distract from your natural curves and beauty. Solid colors or subtle patterns work best because they don’t fight with your form. You don’t want to look like a mannequin advertising the outfit. Remember, to a man, you are the work of art, not the outfit.

Buy dresses in pretty colors and refrain from buying drab or boring tones like black, brown, and gray. These are masculine colors that men say don’t do a thing to enhance our femininity. Remember, we are the color in a man’s black-and-white world. If you want to be noticed in a sea of women wearing black and dark tones, wear color. If you need help, find a color professional who can analyze your colors and find the most flattering shades for you. Men love seeing women in romantic colors such as pinks, reds, peaches, corals, or purples.

Accessorize with tasteful, delicate jewelry. Men love dangle earrings that move and sparkle in the light. They also like pearl necklaces as they are simple yet classy and make a nice frame for a woman’s face and bring out her smile. For added charm, include a flirty neck scarf or a pretty barrette in your hair. For feminine footwear, avoid large, clunky heels that make your feet look larger and more masculine. Choose simple classic pumps, strappy sandals, or feminine ballerina flats.

Make sure your look is not overdone with a lot of complexity. When dressing in a feminine way for men, think simple yet classy, and you can’t go wrong. For a review look at Chapter 8: Feminine Looks Men Love.
