Attitude and confidence have a large impact on what people recognize as feminine; feeling at home in your own skin, extending love to yourself and others, and enjoying life will allow you to express femininity and help others see it in you too.
In Western cultures, the ideal of feminine appearance has traditionally included long, flowing hair, clear skin, a narrow waist, and little or no body hair or facial hair. In other cultures, however, some expectations are different. For example, in many parts of the world, underarm hair is not considered unfeminine.
Toxic femininity refers to the adherence to the gender binary in order to receive conditional value in patriarchal societies. It is a concept that restricts women to being cooperative, passive, sexually submissive, gentle, and deriving their value from physical beauty while being pleasing to men.
Feminine energy traits are affiliated with nurturing, love, receptivity, compassion, and care. This 'being' energy is the polar opposite of masculine energy, which revolves around 'doing.
Avoid clumsy or overly expressive movements and, instead, tuck your elbows and make slow, smooth movements. DON'T look stoic in your facial expressions. Your facial expressions can easily give you away if you look stern and serious. Most women have a pleasing facial expression that puts those around them at ease.
Stretch, dance, run - whatever kind of movement you enjoy - just let your body freely move and get that energy flowing. Feed your senses - Feed yourself a delicious and nurturing meal, listen to moving music, go to an art exhibit, or even just set out some fresh flowers.
Reading female body language in this context can be difficult, as not every woman will act or react the same. Some signs of a woman showing that they're attracted or interested in you include smiling with more than their lips, displaying physical touch, strong eye contact, and laughter.
Eye contact is one big indicator, as well as frequent smiles and laughter. An open posture and facial expression are also signals of attraction. Acting fidgety or nervous, or blushing and getting sweaty palms, is also a sign that someone is attracted to you.
Pink color is associated today with the feminine world, however, until 1920s, was a masculine color.
Feminine Energies have the qualities of softness, receptivity, and expansiveness. These qualities draw on intuition and tapping into those things that aren't necessarily seen with the naked eye. Seeing beyond what is there and somehow knowing. Feminine energy is about Being rather than Doing.

The 7 Feminine Archetypes are: The Mother, the Maiden, the Huntress, the Mystic, the Sage, the Queen and the Lover. It was Jean Shinoda Bolen who first defined the 7 Feminine Archetypes with the publication of her book “Goddesses in Everywoman: A New Psychology of Women” in 1984.
Focus, boundaries, and assertiveness may be challenging for you when you have lost touch with your masculine energy. On the contrary, when the masculine energy is in excess, you may be dominating, or pushing past your limits.
Internationally, purple is a color for symbolizing women. Historically, the combination of purple, green and white to symbolize women's equality originated from the Women's Social and Political Union in the U.K. in 1908. Purple signifies justice and dignity.
Dark feminine energy, on the other hand, is all about being dominant, assertive and most importantly, sultry. It's about setting boundaries, saying no to people and manifesting success.
In women, these gestures may indicate that they are indeed flirting: Slowly crosses and uncrosses her legs toward male. Licks her lips/slightly bites on her bottom lip. Excessively sways her hips. Dangles her shoe (once her legs are crossed toward the male)
Posture. This is a body language “classic.” A closed-off posture, with arms folded, or turning away from someone, are obvious signs of lack of interest. Open postures, oriented toward the other person, with a slightly forward lean, are body cues that are seductive.
