Style Tweaks To Look Good Without Revealing Too Much Skin

October 23, 2018

Everyone wants to look and feel attractive. But looking sexy is never easy, especially when sex appeal is highly subjective. That’s not to say it’s a lost cause when it comes to finding ways to boost your appeal. We say small things count — especially when they play up your natural beauty and personality.

Watch this too:

Style Tweaks To Look Good Without Revealing Too Much Skin
1. Collarbone over décolletage
image

Flaunting your cleavage can sometimes have the opposite effect of what you’re going for. Instead of coming across too strong, 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.

Try: Jonathan Simkhai one-shoulder metallic georgette maxi dress, S$1,446, via Net-a-Porter.

2. Flaunt your wrists
image

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. Add a pair of glasses to the mix, it’ll make you look brainy and sexy at the same time.

4. Less 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 this: 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, make sure your dress is long and your chest is shielded. That way, you’ll come across as alluring instead of a try-hard — always a good thing.

5. It’s all about the shoes
image

Your shoes can say a lot about you. The right pair of shoes can make you look stylish, confident and cool, while the wrong pair can make you look ungainly. That doesn’t mean you have to go for towering platform heels. A sensible pair can still make you look like a million bucks, with the right design.

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. Make sure they’re of the right size so you can strut confidently.

Try: By Far Danielle leather slingback pumps, S$513, via Net-a-Porter.
