How to have swag? 22 tips to follow!
If you look good, you’re confident, but not arrogant, and you’re totally happy with your unique and awesome shine. You don’t care what other people think because you know you look good and feel good. You’re a cool, confident person, and that’s good enough for you.
To be stylish, it is not enough to dress well or to like certain types of music or ideas. It is a way of life in its own right. So if you want to have more swag, try these 22 tips.
#1. Trust yourself.
The number one tip for having class? Trust. Think about it. When did you ever think someone was classy, looked cool, or wanted to date someone who stuttered and was nervous all the time?
Your confidence must come from within. Just know that you have style, you have value, and you won’t let anyone bring you down. If you really believe in it, others will too. [Read: How to build self-confidence and realize you’re worth it].
#2 Walk with your head held high.
Be sure to stand tall and walk with your head held high. If you hold your head up everywhere you go, people automatically think you’re confident, and they notice you more.
#3 Know what you’re talking about.
There’s nothing worse than someone who has all these great opinions but doesn’t have a clue what they’re talking about. If you say you like a band or want to talk about politics or any other topic of conversation, make sure you’ve done your research.
Don’t pretend to like something just because it’s trendy or because other people say it is. You can admit that you’ve never heard of something or you don’t know what people are talking about. Just saying “Oh, I don’t know what it is, tell me about it” is so much better than agreeing and getting caught later. [Read: 20 reasons why people don’t like you].
#4 Look people in the eye.
Make eye contact with people when talking to them. When you walk into a room or a party, or even just walk down the street, look people in the eye. A cheeky nod or wink also gives you an air of confidence and makes you feel approachable and fun.
#5 Be comfortable in your skin.
To learn how to have swag, give the impression of being good in your own skin. If you’re always trying to change yourself or complaining about how you look, you’ll never have swag. You need to know who you are, accept it, and be happy with yourself. [Read: 20 ways to be comfortable in your skin and enjoy being yourself].
#6 Dress with originality.
Having swag is not following the masses. It’s about being unique and original and having your own take on things, no matter what. You don’t have to be quirky for the fun of it, but a little quirkiness here and there that’s uniquely yours really makes you stand out.
#7 Don’t be afraid to share your opinions.
Good-looking people don’t blindly agree with what everyone else is saying. Don’t be afraid to stand up for yourself and develop opinions that go against the crowd. Life is made up of diversity and great debates.
#8 Understand good body language.
Make sure you know your body language. Things as simple as holding your body open to someone, not getting too close, nodding and smiling all make you look like a confident and charming person. [Read: 10 subtle body language gestures to appear much more confident].
#9 Don’t fuss with your clothes, hair, or makeup.
If you’re always adjusting your clothes, changing your hair, or putting on more makeup, you won’t look very comfortable with your appearance. Just know that you are very beautiful, and leave it at that.
#10 Never lose control.
People with good looks are generally able to control their emotions. They’re not the ones who get drunk, talk too loudly, are aggressive, or trigger drama.
#11 Be happy.
People are much more attracted to those who look happy and are having fun. Put a smile on your face and get out there! [Read: How to make happiness your default state].
#12 Talk to everyone.
If you want to look good, you’re not the kind of person who only hangs out with cool kids. Good-looking people are nice to everyone, have time for everyone, and show that it’s cool to be nice.
#13 Don’t be too loud or obnoxious.
There is a big difference between confidence and arrogance. Make sure you know what it is!
#14 Love your body.
Everyone has body complexes from time to time. People with style learn to accept their figure, live with it and embrace it!
#15 Have style.
People with style have their own style. You may have to experiment a bit before you find yours, but once you find it, you’ll know.
#16 Don’t be fake.
Nobody likes people who are fake. People find you out pretty quickly. To have style, you have to be authentic. [Read: 36 shallow character traits of a shallow person].
#17 Have your own slang words.
Don’t force things and start inventing your own language, but if you find a cool way to say something, make it your own!
#18 Be positive.
Be a positive person, see the bright side, and find the humor in any situation.
#19. Have good knowledge.
A good looking person is smart and knows a lot of different things. Build a range of interests, read the news, get good grades. These are all things that help you feel confident in any situation and any conversation. [Read: How to become an intellectual]
#20 Don’t put other people down.
If the only way you feel good about yourself is by putting others down, you don’t have swag. Making fun of others is not cool. You will soon make more enemies than friends.
#21 Make people laugh.
The humor is very appealing. If you make people laugh, that’s half the battle. You don’t have to pull off a solo comedy act, but keeping a few jokes up your sleeve and being witty works wonders. [Read: 35 tips to charm absolutely anyone].
#22 Maintain an air of mystery.
Do not be the person who gives absolutely everything. A good-looking person is friendly and open. She doesn’t share her deepest, darkest, and most embarrassing secrets with people she’s just met. Keep some things to yourself, and you’ll always be someone people want to know more about.
These 22 tips will let you know how to get the swag that other people crave . You will be seen as cool, calm and composed, funny and interesting, with that little something about you that others would like to have!
