Part of the problem is what you wear with the cane and the type of cane you use. Think Stylish men's wear for your clothing, in a pinch black slacks and a jacket. Then go shopping for a sexy cane, preferably something with an ornate ball in silver with a black shaft.
The other problem is how women walk with a cane. Make certain the cane is the right length or even a bit too long for you. Then pull your shoulders back and look at the world proudly while hobbling down the street. If you are hunched over you look like the stereotypical old woman. No one looks good hunched over and too many women's canes seem to do that. A cane that is the right length forces you to stand upright and assume good posture.
I have seen one woman pull off a cane with panache, she always dressed well and her posture was impecable. She also had an attitude that said no mater how much she might need the cane, the 1/2 ice spike in the end and her strong right arm would solve any dispute in her favor. :)
