How to Make a Shirt With a Collar More Feminine

Bright colors can make a collared shirt more feminine.

The key to making a collared shirt more feminine is balance - by adding other feminine touches to your outfit, the overall effect becomes prettier and more womanly. To avoid adding masculinity to your look, stay away from shapeless tops. Shape is important - a fitted shirt is more feminine than one that simply hangs on the body.
