   Wear cute clothes. Wearing cute clothes is the key to being cute. You don't have to change everything in your wardrobe to be cute -- instead, just work on acquiring a few cute items that tie all of your clothes together in a cute way. Here are some ways to wear cute clothes:

   • Wear skirts and dresses instead of pants or shorts when you can. Cardigans, knit sweaters and vests, boot-cut jeans, and t-shirts with cute patterns like hearts or polka-dots, are cute forms of clothing.
   • Wear clothes that flatter your body shape, you feel comfortable in, and aren’t too big or tight.
   • Wear light and positive colors. Wear pastels like purple, pink, or a shade of blue. Anything soft and pretty will make you look cute. Avoid dark colors like black, brown, or dark blue.
   • Try wearing something with a floral pattern. Floral patterns are the essence of cute.
2. 2

   Wear cute shoes. Your shoes should complement your cute clothes, to complete the cute look from head to toe. Wear shoes that are stylish and trendy. Couple with brightly-colored or patterned socks or tights. Follow these shoe tips to make your feet look cute:

   • Wear clogs, moccasins, or close-toed shoes with a round toe.
   • Wear flat sandals and pair them with cute pastel-colored nail polish.
   • Wear furry boots.
   • Wear pastel or white-colored sneakers with pastel shoelaces.
   • Wear a classy wedge heel or kitten heels; they're both cute.

   Wear cute makeup. Wash your face^[1] and have good hygiene.^[2] To look cute, don't go too heavy on the makeup -- the right makeup will go a long way. Here's what you should wear:

   • Wear just a tiny bit of blush.
   • Wear soft pink lipstick or lip gloss.
   • Wear light eyeshadow in pastel shades like light blue, purple, or even light pink.
   • Just a light layer of mascara and eyeliner will do for the eyes.
   • Aim to look natural. You can wear a bit of makeup, but you'll only be cute if you look like yourself.

   • Let your hair dry naturally and fall to your shoulders.
   • Fix your hair in a cute, comfortable style. Some nice styles are, ponytails, braids, buns or even just down with a clip or a headband. Or, wear your hair in two loose pigtails that fall in front of your shoulders. Or, put your hair in a low messy bun, with a few strands hanging over your eyes.
   • Consider getting bangs if you don't have them. Bangs are cute.
   • Put colorful clips, baubles, or pastel-colored headbands in your hair.
   • Curl your hair in little ringlets.

   Use body language to your advantage. Your body language will tie your whole look together, and someone will be able to tell that you're cute just from the way you smile or the way you're sitting. Here are some ways to express cuteness through your body language:^[4]

   • Play with a strand of your hair.
   • Fiddle with your bracelet or necklace.
   • If you're sitting, keep your feet together and your hands in your lap.
   • If you're standing up, shift your weight from foot to foot.
   • Break eye contact from time to time. Though you should keep eye contact to maintain a conversation and show you care, you should look at the floor or at your hands once in a while to show that you're humble.
   • Cover your mouth when you laugh. This is cute. Cover it when you sneeze; this is polite and prevents spreading germs.
   • If you're a touchy-feely person, give the person you're talking to the occasional light touch on the shoulder or knee.
2. 2

   Speak in a cute way. This adds to the whole cute aura. Here's how to speak so as to appear cute:^[5]

   • Talk softly. This will make everything you say sound more important because people will have to lean in to hear you.^[6]
   • Laugh often. Laughing and giggling while you talk is cute. Don't overdo it.
   • Listen patiently and speak when it's your turn. Butting in before a person has finished speaking is not cute.
3. 3

   Act demurely. Being humble or demure is a major part of being cute. You can be humble while being sweet, friendly, and bubbly at the same time. You can still be fun and social while being demure, as long as you're not loud or overbearing. Here's how to act demurely:^[7]

   • When you engage in conversation, act very innocent. Don't tell dirty jokes, engage in racy conversations, curse, or be vulgar.
   • Learn to blush from time to time. If you're genuinely embarrassed by a topic, it will be very cute if you blush.^[8]
   • Don't dominate. You can still be a part of a conversation without fighting to be the center of attention. Being pushy, rude, or bossy to be the star of every show is not cute.^[9]
4. 4

   Avoid forcing your cuteness. None of this should be forced. Let it come naturally. If you look happy and sincerely provide compliments to other people, they will think of you as nice and may classify you as "cute".

• Remember to stay bubbly and positive. Nothing is cuter than someone who is non-stop smiling and giggling! Be excited and happy, but play with your necklace or hair to come across as kind of shy.
• You can still totally look cute in jeans and a t-shirt. Just make sure the jeans have a flattering cut and that your shirt is a color and/or pattern that complements your skin and hair.
• Pin a JoJo bow in your hair right above your ponytail so it's visible from the back. You can also wear your hair down and place the bow at the middle of your scalp.
• Just a light dusting of gold eyeshadow, a little bit of foundation, and one swipe of mascara will do the trick.
• Curtain bangs look cute! Also, go for a concealer that is lighter than your skin tone to brighten up your face.
• Try space buns, simple bangs, sweet clips, and maybe a cute fake mole under your eye.
