What does it mean to be elegant?

Let’s start with the basics. What does it mean to be elegant?

For starters, elegance is “the quality of something or someone to be graceful and stylish in appearance or manner.”

In a person, this materializes in many ways. A person’s elegance is not only determined by the clothes or makeup they are wearing.

The way they walk, talk, and treat others is very important, too.

Elegant people will never be out of place because they always know to read the situation and behave appropriately.

Even more so, being aware of feminine etiquette requires special attention to some very specific points.

This includes mannerisms when moving, walking, or sitting and rules of empathy to respect others and yourself.

For crossdressers, it is not only very useful to learn in order to grow confidence to go out while dressed.

But also it will help you get in touch with your feminine side more in-depth.

Besides, following these rules you will develop more honest and sincere interactions and more profound connections with those around you.

Being a classy lady is not only about yourself, but the manner you relate to others is a distinct trait of elegance.

If none come to mind, then you should begin by incorporating some examples.

When reading this article, you will find that you may not know how to move with feminine mannerisms.

Because of this, it will be very helpful if you visualize any elegant lady you can think of as you read on.

• Picture their movements and start paying attention to how they interact with other people.

• In a general way, you will have to soften your movements and slow them down. Move hands, arms, and legs delicately but firmly.

Learning to Walk Again.

Wherever you go, you will be doing some walking.

Doing it in a feminine and elegant way is crucial to keep your etiquette at all times.

Walking is not only done with your feet and legs but your whole body, too.

• Your hands and arms need to swing at your sides as you walk with a soft pedaling going in sync with your body. Let your arms help you with your balance as you walk.

• Another thing you must always keep in mind is your posture. Keep your back straight but not rigid. To project a feminine, elegant aura around, you must stand your ground in a firm but soft way.

• One very important thing to remember is to practice walking in heels if you are planning to go out in them. It is very difficult for beginners and dangerous to walk in them without practice.

• Whenever you can, you should walk around the house to practice your feminine mannerisms safely. The stride you feel more comfortable with maybe a different one while in heels.

• There are many tricky situations that you may find yourself in. Rain or stairs are some examples that may be very dangerous if you are not attentive enough.

• Be sure always to select the right size of shoes when buying them.

When to Freshen Yourself

Wearing makeup may be one of the most useful tricks in a crossdresser’s book.

As such, learning how and when to apply it is very important to keep elegance and etiquette.

Remember these tips when you need to freshen up:

• Never lay the contents of your cosmetic bag laying around. Carry a makeup bag in your purse to keep it organized.

• If you are at a social event, it is okay to freshen up your lipstick while at the table if you do it discretely. For any heavier retouchments, you should always go to the bathroom to do them.

• While in the bathroom, remember to keep it always clean and try not to mess anything up. Others will use it to deserve a clean bathroom, too.

• If you are wearing a wig, you should also check for it in the bathroom. It is not classy to brush your hair or re-attach your wig while in public.

We have been talking about many tips on how to act more feminine and elegant, but as we have said before, the look is not all there is.

Being an elegant lady also means being attentive to those around you.
