Be a Cute Girl

Being a cute girl isn't just about what you look like, it’s also about how you dress, how you act, and how you treat other people. You can be cute by being open and friendly with people, by being interested and curious in new things, and by dressing and behaving in certain ways. But even if you want to try to be cuter, it’s still important that you be yourself, because people should like you for who you really are.

Steps

Looking Like a Cute Girl

  1. Choose a cute hair style. One way to be a cute girl is to look cute, and you can do this by wearing the right clothes, accessories, and hairstyles. Hairstyles that will make you look cute include:[1]
    • Pigtails
    • Braids
    • Long and messy ponytails
    • Bangs
    • Ringlets
    • Side ponytails
  2. Wear clothes with cute elements. Elements that can make clothes cute include colors, designs and patterns, and fabrics. Once you have the right materials and designs, you can put together entire cute outfits.
    • When it comes to picking colors, choose clothes in soft or pastel colors over bright and vibrant ones
    • Cute patterns include polka dots, florals, animal prints, and soft plaids
    • Opt for soft and flowy materials, such as cotton, chiffon, and lace
    • Clothes with ribbons, bows, and big buttons are also cute[2]
  3. Put together cute outfits. Once you’ve got cute clothing styles picked out, you can put together cute outfits. The key here is wearing clothes that are youthful and fun without being too revealing. Good choices for cute clothes and outfits include:
    • Oversized shirts and sweaters paired with leggings or skinny pants[3]
    • Dresses and pleated skirts with patterned leggings or knee-high socks[4]
    • Strapless or spaghetti-strap dresses[2]
  4. Pair your wardrobe with cute accessories. There are tons of cute accessories that you can use to make any outfit cute, and this includes jewelry, hair accessories, shoes, and more!
    • Cute accessories for your hair include bows, headbands, clips, and ribbons[5]
    • Even hats can be cute, including oversized beanies, knit toques, and hats with pompoms[6]
    • Good shoes for a cute outfit include Mary Janes, ballet slippers, and Oxfords[2]
    • When it comes to jewelry, opt for funky pieces like charm bracelets and necklaces and earrings with animals or shapes

Acting Sweet and Friendly

  1. Act innocent and sweet. A major part of being cute is acting innocent, because cuteness is something associated with things that are childlike, harmless, and sweet.[7] There are lots of ways you can act innocent and sweet, including:
    • Don’t swear or tell dirty jokes
    • Chew gum and blowing bubbles
    • Play with your hair[8]
    • Be silly
  2. Be approachable. To be cute, one of the most important things you can do is be personable and fun. Being angry, frustrated, or defensive isn't cute, so work on being kind and friendly.[9]
    • Say hello to people you know when you see them, and introduce yourself to new people when you meet.
    • Ask people about themselves, and listen to their answers. For instance, when you run into an acquaintance, you can say, “Hi! I haven't seen you in a while. How have you been?”
    • Be generous with compliments. For instance, if you love a friend’s new haircut, say, “Your hair looks incredible! It really brings out your eyes.”
    • Don’t cross your arms when you're in a crowd, because this can make you look defensive and unapproachable.
  3. Smile often with your eyes and mouth. One of the easiest ways you can be friendly and cute is to smile a lot when you're around other people. Most people know how to smile with their mouths, but you can also smile with your eyes and your whole face:[10]
    • Start by thinking about something that makes you happy. When you have that happy feeling, narrow your eyes slightly without moving the other muscles of your face.
    • Smile ever so slightly with your mouth by turning up the corners of your mouth. This combination of expressions will give the impression that you are cheery, friendly, and easy to talk to.
  4. Be sociable. This means spending time with other people and being fun to be around. You can be sociable by going to parties and get-togethers when you're invited, organizing and hosting your own social events, talking to people when you're out, and keeping up old friendships and making new ones.[11]
    • You don’t have to attend every social event you're invited to, but try to make an appearance at as many as you can manage without cutting into family time, work, school, and other obligations.
    • If you haven't talked to your friends in a while, call or text them to keep in touch and ask how they’ve been.
    • Make an effort to make friends with new people too. You can do this by inviting them out with you, getting to know them, and finding common interests.
