How you behave is an integral and important part of being stylish ahead of your clothing, makeup and jewelery. This is your etiquette and manners.

Perhaps the most important ‘manners’ are those for which there are set of simple time honoured rules.

Our habits and mannerisms in daily living (the most automatic things we do) define us as refined individuals, sensitive to the rights of others; or as thoughtless, ignorant and rude.

As in life, it is often the small things which make the biggest impact on how people perceive and experience you.

Sometimes we take it for granted that everyone is taught these simple rules when growing up. It never ceases to amaze me how many people don’t follow them. Consequently they seem ignorant and rude, despite the fact that they may look fabulous.

We often think that being stylish is all about what we wear, but it is just as much in how we act and treat other people. We all warm to people who show us genuine kindness and respect, and tend to avoid those who don’t.

Men and Women walk differently as you can see in this video animation.

To cultivate a more feminine walk you may like to watch this several times, observe other women walking, and practice your feminine walk until is becomes more natural.

This will take practice as you begin to feel more comfortable walking. But the more you practice, the lesser the risk that you will be read, and the more confident you will feel out in public with your female persona.

One way to continue on your path to femininity successfully is to dress for your body shape. Dressing for your body shape allows you to look great, feel great, and understand your body. Understanding your body is the best way to dress your best and look your best, especially when shopping. So many t-girls get stuck buying the wrong things when shopping, just because it looks good on the hanger, doesn’t mean it looks good on you!

The first step is to find out exactly what body shape you have. There are four common body shapes, pear, apple, hourglass and rectangle. Many t-girls are rectangles, however because of hormonal therapy; t-girls come in every shape and size, so it’s important to know which category you fit in.

If you are a pear your upper body is smaller than your lower body. When pears gain weight, they gain it in their hips and thighs. Pears look great in fitted tops in lots of patterns and colors paired with solid colored bottoms, to make those hips and legs slimmer. They also look great in a-line and flared skirts. When wearing jeans, dark denim it is best and always accessories your neck and ears to bring attention to the top portion of your body.

Apples have upper bodies that are larger than the lower, and unfortunately, when they gain weight it goes directly to their tummies! When it comes to jeans flat fronts and pockets help you look curvier, and a-line skirts that are short also flatter this shape. As far as tops, keep it simple with less patterns and don’t forget the right bra is the most important part of flattering this shape.

Okay…if you are one of the lucky t-girls that have a curvy hourglass figure, that’s great for you. This means your hips and shoulders are proportioned and you can wear patterns galore. But remember, you look the best in V-necks and stretch denim. Also, because of your small waist, be wary of jeans that gap in the back. And remember, don’t hide your body, baggy clothes are not flattering to your shape.

If you have a rectangle figure, like most t-girls then you have amazing legs. Show them off by wearing low rise jeans. Because your figure is straight up and down, you shouldn’t wear anything with vertical patterns, because you’ll look thinner. Wear scoop neck or v-neck tops to give you a curvier silhouettes. Other than that, have fun with colors and patterns.

What shape are you and what challenges have you had with your figure?

The feminine walk is one of the hardest things to conquer when making your transition to femininity. So many t-girls find that they look like a woman, smell like a woman, dress like a woman, but walk like a man. But you can perfect you feminine walk! It just takes practice and a lot of focus.

The first step to mastering the feminine walk is by observing other woman and men around you. This observation is better than any book or class and will give you a firsthand look at how to walk naturally. Go to the mall and order a latte and sit and people watch. After observing you will notice a number of things:

1. Women have a natural flow when they walk because of estrogen. Estrogen allows a woman to have increased flexibility in her joints which causes that graceful feline movement.
2. Women have larger hips and longer legs which allow them to have a slight twist when they walk.
3. women walk are shorter and have slender shoulders which allows them to walk with shoulders back and head straight unlike men who lean down slightly.
4. Women walk with their feet moving inward while men walk with their feet going straight; in a line.

After observing these features closely, it’s time to implement them into your walk. The goal is to produce a natural walk with fluidity and a slight jiggle. There are many ways to achieve this, some t-girls take HRT to help Mother Nature correct their walk. HRT, or hormone replacement therapy, replaces the naturally occurring hormones in their bodies with those of the other sex. Many t-girls report that they discovered it was easier to perfect their feminine walk post op.

Others practice, practice, practice by walking in heels with their legs close together, rotating their hips and shoulders while standing up straight. It’s hard work but the results cannot be denied.
