How to Always Look Attractive

Attractiveness is entirely subjective. Any person, no matter their age or physical features, can be attractive. In order to appear attractive all the time, you just need to look, feel, and act your personal best.

Caring for Yourself

1
Maintain a healthy diet. Being as healthy as possible is an important part of being attractive. Make sure to drink a lot of water—at least 8 cups a day is advisable. Eat fruits and vegetables on a daily basis. If you eat meat, try to stick to lean protein—like chicken, fish, and turkey. It’s okay to splurge once in a while, but try to eat as healthy as you can.^{[1]XResearch source}
- If possible, cut out sodas from your diet.
2
Exercise regularly. Not only will exercise improve your physical appearance, it will also make you feel happier and more confident. Ideally, you should do cardio exercise 5 times a week for at least 30 minutes a day. Find a form of exercise you enjoy—like running, swimming, or dancing.^{[2]XResearch source}
- If 5 days a week isn’t possible, aim to exercise 3 days a week.
3
Practice good hygiene. A part of appearing attractive is keeping yourself clean and smelling nice. Brush your teeth at least 2 times a day and floss daily. Shower daily and wash your hair as often as is best for your hair type.^{[3]XResearch source}
- Good hygiene also means washing your hands after using the bathroom.
- Use deodorant on a daily basis as well.
- It’s good to use perfume or cologne, but don’t go overboard or the smell could be overwhelming.
Take care of your skin. Having healthy, hydrated skin is an easy way to appear attractive. Moisturize, use sunscreen, exfoliate, and use a facial cleanser that is best for your skin type. If you aren’t sure what your ideal skin routine is, you can go to a beauty supply store and ask for a skin consultant.^{[4]XResearch source}
Get a flattering haircut. Certain haircuts do look better on different face shapes, but ultimately, the best haircut is one that makes you feel confident. It doesn’t matter if you prefer short, medium, or long hair, as long as it makes you feel attractive. If a new hair color will make you feel more confident, try it out!^{[5]XResearch source}
How early you wake up depends on how much time it will take you to get ready. You may need 20 minutes or even a full hour. Make sure you have enough time to brush your teeth, shower, dress, do your hair, and apply makeup (if necessary).

Dressing Well

Any style of clothing can look attractive if you feel good wearing it. Take some time to explore your personal style. If you wear clothing that makes you feel your best, it will show through in your attitude and body language.^{[6]XResearch source}

Chose clothes that fit you well. Although it’s okay to wear whatever you want, clothing that is way too big or too small typically isn’t very flattering. Find pants that sit at your natural waist and feel snug, look for shirts that stop just before your wrist. Essentially, find clothes that do not hide your body.^{[7]XResearch source}
- You can also take your current clothes or new clothes that don’t fit just right to be tailored.
When in doubt, wear the color red. Red draws the eye and inspires passion. It is thought to be a color that makes people appear more attractive. For example, you could wear a red accessory, like a scarf, or choose a red shirt.
It is important to have a good suit or dress handy for a formal occasion. Even if it’s just a nice dinner, being well-dressed will make you appear attractive.
Follow fashion trends on blogs and by looking at recent fashion magazines. Try to update your wardrobe according to the current fashion you see and like. If you can’t buy clothes, just update your wardrobe with accessories, such as belts and scarves.
Even you’re dressed in nice clothes, you won’t look put together if your clothes are wrinkled and messy. Make sure every piece of clothing you wear is wrinkle-free, free of stains, and worn neatly. For example, don’t wear your shirt half tucked in and half out.

Acting in an Attractive Manner

1
Be friendly to everyone. There is nothing more attractive than a kind and friendly person. Do not be rude or act better than anyone else. Be kind to everyone you meet, and you will be remembered in a positive way.^{[8]XResearch source}
- Even if you’re in a bad mood, don’t take it out on other people.
- Say hello to the clerk at a store, your waitress, or a neighbor who waves at you.
It is wonderful when people don’t take themselves seriously and can laugh about anything. Don’t be afraid to laugh and make others laugh. People are attracted to those who can make them laugh.^{[9]XResearch source}
3
Act confidently. Arrogance isn’t attractive, but appearing self-confident definitely is attractive. Be confident in your looks and abilities. This confidence will rub off on those around you and make you even more likeable.^{[10]XResearch source}
- Don’t brag on yourself, but don’t yourself down either. For example, say “I worked hard on that project, so I think I did a good job.”
4
Display positive body language. Body language such as slouching and crossing your arms makes you appear shy and insecure. Always stand up straight. Keep your arms at your side, or use your hands while you talk.
- For example, when talking to others stand or sit up straight and look them in the eye.
You don’t have to smile all of the time, but it is great to smile. Smile when you greet people or whenever you are genuinely happy. A pleasant facial expression is thought to make people appear more attractive.^{[11]XResearch source}
