This Is Our Modern Definition Of A Sexy, Stylish Woman

Forget bodycons and baring (too much) cleavage and skin — this is how we do it in 2018.

by Sean Tham  /   October 24, 2018

Everyone wants to look and feel attractive, but looking sexy is never easy especially when sex appeal is highly subjective. However, we believe that the small things count — especially when they play up your natural beauty and personality. Above, five tips on how you can enhance your allure without losing yourself (or succumbing to the bodycon).

1. Collarbone over decolletage

Instead of coming across too strong by flaunting your cleavage, choose to highlight your collarbone instead — a body part that is often associated with grace and sophistication. Opt for off-shoulder tops and dresses for a casual yet girlish feel, or you could unbutton the top few buttons of an oversized shirt and let one end hang off a shoulder for a more carefree vibe.

2. Flaunt your wrists

The wrist is an oft-neglected body part that should be given more attention. After all, the glands in your wrists emit pheromones, which can trigger feelings of attraction. That’s good enough reason to show them off, so roll up your sleeves and let them shine.

3. Make eye contact
image

They say one’s eyes are the window into the soul. So it’s clear that eye contact (and maintaining it) is a powerful way to show people what you’re made of. By keeping a steady eye contact, you’re telling others that you’re confident, powerful and capable of commanding attention. If you’re near-sighted, no harm rocking a stylish pair of spectacles every once in awhile for that intellectual vibe.

4. Less (skin) is more
image

It’s a common impulse to want to bare more when you’re going for a sexier vibe. But sometimes, less (skin) is more. We suggest teasing a little when it comes to your apparel. The rule of thumb is to aim for balance. If you’re baring your legs, keep your chest and back covered to cast the spotlight on your pins. If you’re going backless, pick a long dress with ample coverage for your chest.

5. Pay attention to what's down below
image

And by that we’re referring to footwear as your shoes can say a lot about you. The right pair will exude cool and confidence, but that doesn’t mean you have to go for towering platform heels. Try a pair of nude flats (but with pointy tips) — they provide an illusion of elongated legs. Or go for block heel court shoes in a colour other than black.
