- Clothes
- Smell (cologne/perfume, the scents that may be in clothing or hair)
- Body language (swagger, creep, stroll, cringing, stride)
- Attitude (businesslike, flirtatious, bored, scared, tired)
- Voice (tone, volume, accent, husky/smooth, high/low, speech impediment)
- Age
- Race
- Species if it's a SF/F story

If you want practice, turn on the TV at random and pick someone. Describe that person. Flip the channel and do it again. Do it 10 times. Do it twice a day. Make a point of using a different characteristic to lead with for each description.
