What should I wear to look more appealing to a guy?
I say always dress for the occasion where you're meeting the guy (e.g. clothes you can move around in for a picnic), but dress up a little more than usual. So put on that drop earring or some other nice jewelry. This will make you feel and look more attractive.
Tips and tricks for effortless style please!
To me, effortless style has a specific formula. You're always going to be wearing a top and a bottom. To make it look effortless, one of them should be loose. For example, try a loose skirt, perhaps an A-line skirt that's vertically striped white and blue, then a tight white top. This would look effortless. Just be sure to match colors and wear your outfit confidently.
Best tips on how to be more attractive
Everyone appreciates it when you have a unique style. Unique accessories will always help here. I also recommend trying on different pant silhouettes. Try fit, flare, wide leg, and straight leg. Find pants that you feel great in, and repeat this process with tops and jackets.

When you go out of the house, you want to feel amazing, because you know you look how you want to look. When you aren't worried about how you look, you come across as more authentic and more attractive.
What do I do if I want to look cute but I have strict parents?
I'm going to give you some of the oldest tricks in the book. Start with a normal t-shirt. When you want to look cuter, and your parents aren't around, you can tie a knot in the back and in the front. You can do the same thing with a skirt - feel free to hitch it up with a knot. I would focus more on your hair and not your makeup, since I assume you can do your hair however you want. Focus on making your hair look cute and trendy.
Are leggings still in style?
Leggings are in style when it comes to going to the gym or doing anything athletic. If you're doing something athletic, running, or going to the gym, fantastic. Throw on your leggings; they’re in style in that arena.

I know years ago they had spilled out of that arena and became a fashion staple for any occasion. They're no longer that, but if you're going to the gym, then leggings make sense. I would say right now they're not what you’d wear out on a date or out with your friends to brunch. That's not what we do these days, but if you're going to the gym style I’d style it with a matching bra or a matching jacket.
