How to Dress Sexy: Our Secrets to Looking Sexier

When it comes to dressing sexy, so many women are caught up in choosing little numbers to make heads turn, make-up that will make jaws drop, and a hairstyle that will make men (and women) wonder, "Who is she?" every time they glide past. But dressing sexy isn't just about perfecting that smoky eye or slipping into a mini skirt (but, trust us, that helps a lot.) There's so much more to embracing sexiness - whether it’s for a date night or just as a way to feel more confident in your day-to-day.
Luckily, we've got you, sis.

Just sit back, relax, and let us be your personal stylist. We'll help you embrace the newer, sexier version of you.

The Truth About Dressing Sexy

Look, here's the thing. Dressing sexy isn't about how much skin you show. Being half-naked won't automatically guarantee sex appeal. Sure, if showing skin makes you feel confident and beautiful, go for it! We're not judging. You should always embrace what makes you feel good.

We're just saying that even casual clothing can look sexy. How? By wearing it with confidence. Sexiness is just as much about what's going on inside as it is about the outside.

Our Timeless Tips For Dressing Sexy (And Feeling Good)

Want to embrace the true you and feel confident in the clothes you wear? We hear you, boo. The following tips will help you feel utterly irresistible.

Choose Clothes That Show Off Your Shape

When it comes to dressing sexy, the last thing you want to do is hide away all those stunning curves. Because here's the thing: your body is beautiful and it's yours; no one else has another like it. Wearing clothes that are designed to show off your body type will make you feel undoubtedly confident and that's irresistibly sexy.

Some curve-hugging clothing you could try out include pencil skirts and high-waisted jeans that hug your body in all the right places. If you're going for a dress, consider wrap dresses and bodycon dresses because these look sophisticated and elegant while making you feel incredibly sexy.

Hold up. You might be thinking, "Hey, what if I don't have any curves to show off?" You might be tall with a long, sweeping figure. In that case, we recommend long pants, jumpsuits, and flowing maxi dresses to highlight your figure and give you that ethereal Goddess look.

The main point is to pick outfits designed for your body type. Once you unlock your true potential, the other girls will go green with envy.

Highlight Your Best Feature

Everyone has one feature they love about themselves. It might be a feature you're drawn to when you catch yourself in the mirror, or it might be something you get loads of compliments on. Maybe you have long legs to die for, deep blue eyes that other people can't stop staring into, or full hips. Whatever you love about yourself, choosing outfits that show this feature off can make you look (and feel) so sexy and confident.

If you love your legs, consider a dress with a slit or a lace catsuit to show them off. If it's your shoulders or your back you love, backless dresses are in, and they're hot. A plunging neckline can draw attention to your chest, while a crop top will show off your stomach.

Find the Proper Fit

So many women throw on clothes that don't quite fit for their body type and wonder why they don't feel sexy. But the right fit isn't just about picking your usual size and hoping for the best. If you want a truly tailored look, you should measure your body to give yourself an accurate idea of what size clothes you need. We’re talking about your bust, hips, and shoulders.

And if your clothes still don't feel right, don't underestimate the power of tailoring. Taking a pair of trousers or a top in an inch or two can make your clothes fit properly and make you look even better.

Choose High-Quality Fabrics

If you want to look sexy, it's all about the fabrics you choose. Luxurious fabrics like silk, satin, and velvet just naturally give off that seductive, sensual vibe that other people find so tempting. Not to mention, these high-quality fabrics feel as good as they look, and being comfortable goes a long way in making you feel sexy, too.

Wear Lingerie That Makes You Feel Good

Who says you have to wear lingerie for men? Girl, wear it for yourself! Picking out beautiful pieces will make you feel sexy and confident, even if no one else sees them. Go with lace or satin, as these will feel extra special under your clothes.


Think Carefully About Shoes

It's not all about the clothes you wear. Your shoes have the power to make you sexy, too. Heels can instantly make you stand taller, make your legs look longer, and take your sexy outfit to the next level. They give elegant. They give allure.

But hey, don’t forget that feeling comfortable can help you look and feel sexy. If heels aren't your vibe, you can still find some sleek flats or sexy boots that match your outfit, feel powerful, and look good.

Choose Colors That Complement Your Undertone

The right colors can make all the difference when it comes to dressing sexier, enhancing your natural beauty, and making you feel good. Different colors suit different women, and it's all down to our undertones.

Not sure what your undertone is? Sis, don't worry. Let us break it down for you. There's a simple way you can tell, and that's by checking your veins. If your veins are blue, you probably have a cool undertone, whereas green can suggest that you have a warm one. Some luckily women are right in the middle, and that's good news for them, because it means they suit most colors.

If you have a cooler undertone think cooler shades like emerald, lavender, ice blue, and sapphire. Warmer undertones should go for colors that have a golden or more yellow hue such as crimson, cherry, mustard yellow, browns, and olive greens.

Still unsure? Think about what color jewelry suits you best. If you tend to go for gold jewelry, you probably have a warm undertone, but if silver is more your thing, then, girl, you're cool.

Wearing colors that flatter your coloring will create a perfect balance and make you look even better.

Pick a Few Jewelry Pieces

The right piece of jewelry can make you feel empowered. Think sparkling earrings, a delicate necklace, or a shimmering bracelet to make you sparkle like the star you are. Just be careful not to go over the top, especially if you're already choosing shimmery fabrics for your clothes.

Embrace Your Own Personal Style

Your personal style is all you. You don't have to sacrifice who you are to be sexier. In fact, embracing your own individual style will make you even more irresistible. If you're not a little black dress girlie, then don't wear the little black dress - you can totally look hot in color.

How to Make Outfits Sexier

Honey, listen to us. You don't need an entirely new wardrobe to feel sexy. If you've read through our list and now you’re considering a complete wardrobe overhaul - don't! Here are some ways to tweak your existing clothes and make you feel good.

  • Add a Belt: Never underestimate the power of a simple accessory. The right belt can turn a loose, oversized blouse into a stylish statement piece, perfect for nights out with the girls. It'll cinch your waist and bring out your curves without showing too much skin.
  • It's All About the Layers: If you have a cute bralette that's sitting, gathering dust in your closet, why not pair it with a sheer top for an edgy, sultry look? Tights work great with a miniskirt, especially when the winter chill sets in and you still want to rock your sex appeal.
  • Experiment with Slits and Cuts: Got an old skirt that needs a bit of tender, loving care? Get creative and alter it. Cutting thigh-high slits into skirts and incorporating cut-outs in your tops can make an old, worn-out outfit your new favorite thing to wear.
  • It's All About the Accessories: Bold red lip, anyone? This is a great way to draw attention to your natural pout. Or accessorize in any way you feel comfortable. Think hoop earrings, a cute choker, or a sparkly clutch to make your outfit look even better.

Balancing Sexiness and Class

When it comes to the art of being sexy, there's a fine line between looking seductive and going... too far. We're not here to body shame, but we get that you probably want to look sexy and still stay classy. Well, we're here to tell you that's absolutely possible. A sexy outfit doesn't have to shock people; it should pique their interest, instead. It should make you the girl they can't stop watching - the one they can't get out of their head.

So, if you're thinking you need to slip into something revealing, that's not the case at all. Embrace your own style and show off your best assets, but do it in a way that makes you feel empowered.

Sexy Staples You Need in Your Wardrobe

We know we said that sex appeal doesn't always come from the clothes you wear and we still stand by it. That said, some items just ooze sexiness. Here are some timeless pieces we think you should consider bringing into your wardrobe.

  • A Leather Jacket: If you're looking to stay sexy even when you're dressing all casual, you need a leather jacket. The right leather jacket will do wonders, giving that mysterious, edgy vibe. It'll keep your top half warm while layering perfectly over dresses, t-shirts, and blouses.
  • A Sheer Top: Layered over a tank top or a bralette, this sexy little number is great for nights out. Go for a black sheer top for the ultimate versatility. After all, black goes with everything, right?
  • A Pencil Skirt: A pencil skirt will bring a little bit of sexiness to your every day in a tasteful way. Pair them with a smart blouse and they're suitable for work, while still making you look (and feel) good. Not to mention, a pencil skirt with a thigh-high slit is perfect for those night outs or when you're really trying to entice someone.
  • A Miniskirt: Hello? Calling all our long-legged baddies. If you have gorgeous legs girl, you need to show them off. Strut your stuff in a plaid or leather mini-skirt for the ultimate sex appeal.
  • A Pair of Heels: Whether you're going kitten or ultra-high, a great pair of heels can bring on the confidence - and yes, the sexiness. We recommend getting heels in different colors, so you have one for every outfit, but a nude or black pair will do. Great for work and those nights out, you don't go wrong with a staple pair of heels.
  • Skinny Jeans: Who said they were out? Not us! There are no rules when it comes to fashion. High-waisted skinny jeans will hug all those curves in all the right places and are great for keeping things casual. But what's great about them is you can still dress them up when you need to.
  • Tights: Look hot even when the weather is cool with a pair of tights. Whether you're layering under a miniskirt or a pencil skirt, a pair of sheer or nude tights look classic but sexy.
