5 Crossdressing Tips for Feminizing Your Walk

The way you walk can tell a lot about you. It can reveal whether you’re confident, shy, aggressive, or someone who embodies grace and femininity. It can also be an important part of how others perceive your gender identity—especially if you’re trying to pass as female. Do you ever notice how feminine and sexy women walk? Men walk differently than women. You can easily feminize your walk by following these tips.

When you’re trying to pass as a woman, it’s important to pay attention to the way you walk. You’ve probably heard the saying, “A woman’s hips don’t lie.” It’s true—women tend to walk with confidence and grace, and it’s not just because of wearing high heels. In fact, men are more likely than women to use their shoulders when they walk, which makes them appear stiff and aggressive. Women’s hips are made for movement, so we’re more likely to move in a fluid way, taking small steps and pivoting from the hips. Your walk is one of the most important ways to feminize your appearance. To feminize your walk, you must know how to use your shoulders and hips, loosen up, know where to look, and know how to pace your stride.

I’ve compiled a list of five simple guidelines that will help you feminize your walk. By following these tips, you’ll be able to complement your female persona and walk with confidence. Ready to pass as a woman?

There’s no need to worry—it’s easier than you think.

Shoulders

Your shoulders are your gateway to better posture and femininity. Most women don’t move their shoulders when they walk. But if you try taking a few steps with your shoulders pulled back, you’ll find that this immediately forces your hips to work. The shoulder-pulled-back thing is the most obvious way to feminize your walk. It will make you appear more graceful and elegant, which is something women are known for. It’s not just a coincidence. It’s a way of walking that keeps the hips engaged and prevents slouching.

Slouching is bad for a sister’s posture, but even worse, it causes you to use your upper body as a crutch. This can make it difficult to engage your core muscles, which are essential for supporting your lower back and keeping it in alignment. Try taking a few steps with your shoulders pulled back, and then notice how much more easily your hips move. You’ll also find that this instantly forces you to engage your core muscles—which is exactly what you want! So, next time you’re out walking, remember to keep your shoulders pulled back and your chest high. Then take a few steps with your hips leading the way—you’ll find that it’s much easier to navigate this way!

Loosen Up

If you’ve ever wondered how to feminize your walk, you’re not alone. It’s a common question for sisters who are trying to feel more comfortable in their own skin. Ever wonder why women walk like they’re floating? Well, it’s because they’re born with a natural grace that men don’t have. It’s not just about the shoes—what you do with your body can help feminize your walk. When you’re trying to walk more like a woman, it’s important to keep your arms loose.

Women tend to have looser bodies than men, allowing them to swing their arms freely at their sides. They also have more flexibility at the elbows. Swinging your arms freely at your sides and having more flexibility in your elbows can help you feminize your walk. Additionally, women generally walk with their elbows tucked in and a spring in their step. You can do this too!

Loosening up can help you feminize your walk. Walking like a woman is all about how you carry yourself. When you’re walking, you should always keep your arms above the waistline. You can also keep your bag clutched delicately at your side, just below the shoulder. If you’re carrying a bag, you can hang it below your elbow with your arm above the waist. The next time you’re walking around town, try loosening up your arms and letting them swing freely by your sides. You’ll find that this will help you look more feminine and relaxed as well as prevent any unnecessary tension in your body!

Where to Look

Another tip for feminizing your walk is to know where to look when you’re walking. Try to walk without hunching over or taking too many small steps. Keep your shoulders back and chin up so that your chest is open and proud—this will help make your posture more feminine!  It’s natural to look down when walking, but remember to avoid doing so all of the time—this makes you seem nervous or unsure of yourself. It’s important to keep your head up and make eye contact with people, so you can gauge how they’re reading you. Even if you don’t feel confident, eye contact is important—and smiling helps!

Smile with just your lips closed or with part of your teeth showing. Women tend to smile with their lips together or with just part of their teeth showing. The sides of the mouth should be upturned, giving a warm smile. Additionally, being confident and purposeful in your walk helps feminize your walk. When you’re walking with purpose, you exude confidence, which is one of the most feminine traits of all. That’s because how you hold yourself impacts how others perceive you. If you’re walking with a purpose, it shows in your posture, stride, and body language.

Use Your Hips

You’ve probably heard the phrase “hips don’t lie.” It’s a popular saying to describe the way that women walk, and it makes sense—we all know how much the way we walk can reflect our personality. As you know by now, you should use your hips to feminize your walk!  Most women when walking are more conscious of their femininity and are trying to make the best impression possible. Women naturally have a lower center of gravity, causing them to use their hips while walking.

To emulate this, first, place one foot in front of the other and swing your hips freely. Remember to keep your shoulders back and loosen your arms. When you walk, your hips should lead the way. That’s right: you heard me. I’m not saying that you need to be a diva and flounce down the street like Beyoncé—I’m saying that when you walk, your hips should do most of the work.

When you walk with your hips, it makes for a more feminine stride. The key is to use your hips intentionally—don’t just let them swing back and forth as if you were walking in a skirt. Instead, make sure you’re keeping your shoulders squared and level as you walk, then allow your hips to follow along as if you were carrying something heavy on your hip. You may feel awkward at first—I did!—but once you get used to it, it becomes natural. And once it becomes natural, it’s really hard not to notice how much sexier other people think you look!

Your Stride

The last but not the least tip for feminizing your walk is to improve your stride. Men’s legs are longer than women’s, so men tend to take bigger steps. To feminize your walk, take smaller steps and walk much more slowly than you normally would. Take small steps—literally—in terms of how much you change your stride length and width, and over time those changes will add up and make a big difference in your overall gait. Keep your knees close together and try to avoid striding with long steps. Practice walking in heels or a tight skirt to help you perfect this tip. 

Practicing your walk in heels also helps feminize your walk as a crossdresser. This is because walking in heels is different from walking without them. When you wear heels, you’ve got to keep your toes pointed out, which changes the way that you move your feet and legs when walking. But keeping your toes pointed out while walking is something that can be practiced—and it’s something that will make your walk more feminine.

It’s important to practice this with both high heels and low heels so that you get used to being able to walk in both types of shoes comfortably. A good rule of thumb is to practice your walk-in heels at home so that you have time to adjust to the new height and weight distribution. Practice makes perfect!

When you think about it, walking is one of the best ways to communicate your feminine identity and confidence as a crossdresser. When you’re walking with your hips forward and your shoulders back, you’re saying “this is who I am.” You’re telling yourself and the world that you are a confident crossdresser who knows what you want and isn’t afraid to get it. This type of walk is not only more attractive; it also makes you feel more attractive!
