While we’ve all been taught to never judge a book by its cover, first impressions do matter. Every woman has a different style, and we encourage each to stay true to it – but if you’d like to look like a lady, then you should make sure to always:
 
Have clean hair
Greasy hair is always noticeable and sends out the wrong message. If your hair is clean and brushed, you will appear well kept and refined. If it is dirty and messy, it will somewhat taint the impression you make on those around you.
 
Have a white smile
Make sure to regularly get your teeth cleaned to shine every time you smile!
 
Have well-groomed nails
When you meet someone for the first time, you might extend your hand for a handshake. In that case, he or she will automatically notice your hands and fingernails. Many believe that their condition actually reveals a lot about the woman who carries them. If they are clean and groomed, then that’ll make you seem proper and feminine. If they are dirty, then that might mean that you’re unkempt and messy.
 
Have polished shoes
If you are wearing leather shoes, make sure that they are polished. It is important to appear immaculate and neat. A woman who takes good care of her belongings is a woman worth taking care of.
 
Be Hygienic
It is absolutely crucial for a lady to be hygienic. If you’ve just eaten: discreetly make sure that there is nothing stuck between your teeth. If you’ve just exercised, go get cleaned up.
 
Smell Good
A lady’s scent is like the cherry on the cake. It should be sweet without being too overwhelming and should add an interesting finishing touch to her whole appearance.
 
Dress for the occasion
Whether you’re going out for dinner or attending a wedding, if you’re a true lady then you should always be dressed appropriately and accordingly. Every occasion deserves a different type of outfit, and real ladies should know when to wear what.
