How To Walk The Runway For Male Models

The male runway walk is a little different than the female runway walk. The main difference is that male models walk with their feet farther apart than their female counterparts. So instead of placing one foot in front of the other, like you’re walking on a line, keep your feet side-by-side at a close, yet natural, distance from one another. As well, try not to move your hips too much. All that sashaying back and forth is too feminine for most menswear designer’s tastes. Aside from these two major differences, the male runway walk is essentially the same:-When walking, don’t look down. Instead, look past the audience and focus on an imaginary spot. Don’t make eye contact or interact with the audience unless instructed to do so. -Take long, steady strides. -Let your arms swing naturally by your side. -Keep your mouth natural. -Practice good posture. Walk tall with your body straight and your shoulders back (your ears, shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles should make one straight line). Bend your knees a little and try to relax. You don’t want to look like a robot!  -Even though all eyes are on you, you must walk with confidence (fake it if you have to!). Be strong, purposeful, and naturally sexy.
