Let's face it, when it comes to choosing an adjective to describe how you want to look, sexy is not a bad one! The problem is defining exactly what you mean. What is considered dressing sexy varies by age group, socio-economic class, and religious affiliation. Dressing sexy can either express confidence in your sexuality...or signal you are a person in need of attention.
According to research (yes, there are people who spend their time studying these things!), girls actually enjoy dressing sexy for other girls in an attempt to ward them off from their territory (their men). Other studies say girls who have boyfriends don't wear provocative clothing as much as they do when they're not in a relationship. And not surprisingly, the numbers reveal that girls who wear moderately revealing clothing are found to have an overall higher self-esteem than those who wear super-tight and super-short revealing attire.
Some of the world's sexiest women are Latinas...Cameron Diaz, Eva Mendes, Penelope Cruz, and of course, Jennifer Lopez. All of them have learned the art of dressing sexy without crossing the line into Britney's torn fishnets-and-bikini-top sleazy. They learned there are ways to dress modestly and still look sexy. Here is our list of fashion Dos and Don'ts to ensure that dressing sexy is made easy for you.
DON'T wear a skimpy top and a skimpy bottom. If your top is tight or low-cut or has spaghetti straps, wear a skirt that's knee-length and not sheer. If your skirt could pass for underwear, wear a loose fitting top. Same with tight jeans. Remember, dressing sexy is achieved by wearing one sexy thing at a time.
DON'T be that girl with the thong hanging out of her jeans. A bra strap is all right, so is wearing cute unseen underwear. Even if no one notices, it'll make you feel sexy. And feeling sexy gives you confidence. Which makes you look sexy.
DON'T try to force your figure into every style. Certain styles will never look good on you. Respect that fact.
DO check out V-neck tops. They look good on everyone, no matter your shape or size, and create the illusion of a slimmer waist, an attractive feature when dressing sexy.
DO look for skinny fabrics and cuts. Fabrics that gently flow and drape over your body create more of a vertical line, making you seem slimmer.
DO take care of your body. Treat your body well...your hair, skin, nails...eat right and exercise...and see how sexy confidence in your appearance can be, no matter what you're wearing while dressing sexy.
DO check out his season's latest styles. Layered dresses and skirts, chic shapes, vintage looks, and belts are in and hot.
DON'T use dressing sexy to get something from a guy, to reward him, to manipuate him, or to make him jealous. You'll end up regretting it later.
DO remember less is more. Not too much makeup or fragrance. When a girl is natural, she's not trying too hard. She's the girl the guys want to sprend time with.
