In a HerCampus.com survey of over 100 college women across the country, a majority ranked arms as the biggest turn on. Women feel it's a sign that you take good care of your body and admitted they love to see a hint of a man's biceps through his t-shirt or sweater.

Your Hair/Beard
Your hair is the most noticeable thing to a woman and usually it helps them decide if they really like it or understand it! Maybe because it's the topmost physical feature on your body.

Some girls may like shy guys, while others may not, just as some women may prefer outgoing men to those who are more reserved. Moreover, some women may like certain shy men and dislike others, choosing to focus on a person as a whole rather than a small sliver of someone's personality.
A man who looks good
Look your best, dress well, and maintain a good posture. A straight back with an air of confidence can definitely impress the girl you like. If you're asking what the things women look for in a man are, it's not so much having the perfect attire but looking good as a whole.
