It's mainly about shoulder and arm swing.
You need good wide frame, or shoulders alo, imo. The be able to have a good upper body swing.
Attractive walks:
Women have more swing in hips; and men more swing in shoulders.
“There are many differences in the body movements of men and women," Dr. Johnson says. "One of the biggest is lateral shoulder movements, side-to-side movements. Men do that much more; women in contrast move their hips ... whereas men’s walk goes side-to-side and has high levels of shoulder motion, low levels of hip motion."
According to her research partner, Dr. Louis G. Tassinary of Texas A&M University, "A masculine walk is one in which the shoulders 'twist' more relative to the natural 'twist' of the hips. In old school terms, think John Wayne vs. Marilyn Monroe." He specifically says "a .85 [waist-to-hip ratio] combined with wide shoulders" is, scientifically speaking, the best look for a guy.
“Our paper on attractiveness of body shape in motion focused on waist and hips, and how curvy the body is, which incorporates the behind region,” Dr. Johnson says. What she found is that heterosexual women make two snap judgments within microseconds: Is this a male, and if so, is he masculine?
“Bodies that were judged to be men ... were judged to be more attractive when they were also perceived to be masculine," Dr. Johnson says. "That combination produced the most attractive ratings for men.” And how a guy moves informs a woman's opinion of that.

AKA. Don't walk around with stiff arms.
I can't find examples, of stiff walkers.
but this dude, walks with stiff arms and shoulder swing. and looks odd. @1:15 and @2:00
