Any lady who has a good sense of fashion knows that you don’t have to literally wear nothing to look sexy. There is a very fine line between dressing sexy and dressing vulgar. Looking sexy is an art. It is not something any woman can do by just stripping her clothes off. Sexy defines elegance, poise and sensuality. Vulgarity on the other hand is cheap, sleazy and tawdry. Often women go overboard in an attempt to look sexy and slutty, and just make themselves appear vulgar and gaudy. Here we bring tips on how to maintain a balance and dress sexy, not vulgar. Keep reading.
1. Expose if you wish, do not overexpose:
It means that if you are wearing a sweetheart neck, cleavage show, then hide your legs. Or if your outfit is way too short, then see that you have covered your upper-body well. Being sexy means creating a mystery about yourself. You cannot do that, if you practically dress naked. Hence, if you are exposing a certain portion of your body, balance it by hiding the other parts.
2. Show only what is worth seeing:
When you have flab sticking out of your waistline and still expose your stomach, it looks nothing but ugly. When your thighs are nothing in shape, and you still dare to wear a body hugging micro-mini skirt, it looks lame! Get this straight-you don’t have to expose your body to look sexy. If you think that there is a part of your body that you are proud of, then there is no issues in flaunting it off. But if not, then keep it covered.
3. Dress your body type:
If you are slim, wear clothes that add volume to your figure. If you are on the healthier side, then wear clothes that make you appear slimmer. Don’t just wear something because it looks good on somebody else. Different clothes suit different people. You got to wear something that suits you. For example, women with cankles, hide your legs! Those with saddlebags, avoid skinny jeans. Women with heavy bust line, don’t show too much cleavage.
4. Dress for the occasion:
There is always something ideal which you can wear for every occasion. A woman, who understands this, is able to dress appropriately and turn heads in admiration and not contempt! For example, if you are going for your child’s parents-teachers meeting, you cannot wear a cleavage-show, body hugging dress; no matter how much sexy it makes you look. You will only look vulgar.
5. Keep it less gaudy:
Avoid too much of flash in terms of the jewelry you wear, your makeup and even your clothes. If you are wearing a neon pink top, do not match it with a pair of neon green pants! Instead, wear something sober to match with it. If your dress is dull, you can add glam to it by wearing great jewelry and makeup. But if your dress is too flashy, keep your makeup minimal and also avoid wearing too much of jewelry. At the end, it is all about maintaining a balance.
