For those of you who are body confident and dress however you want without care for judgement -  I think that is awesome, and this blog post isn't for you.

"Is this skirt too short and unsuitable for my age?" "Do I look too provocative?" are some questions that may come to mind. 

Here are 5 tips:

1. MATCH SEXY PIECES TOGETHER WITH CLASSIC PIECES

Instead of going full head-to-toe sexy, pair your sexy pieces with classic ones. Try to avoid tight on tight separates.

2. DON'T OVERDO YOUR ACCESSORIES AND FOOTWEAR

Instead of pairing your outfit with flashy heels and statement accessories, tone down the look by wearing simple and classic jewellery. Skip the stilettos and opt for flats, sandals or sneakers instead.

3. KEEP YOUR HAIR AND MAKEUP NEUTRAL AND CLASSY 

Just like your accessories, try keeping your hair and makeup neutral like Philippine Leroy Beaulieu who plays Sylvie in Emily in Paris. An overly coiffed hair and thick make up screams sexpot, or, even worse, aunty trying too hard to look sexy. 

 

4. MAKE SURE THE GARMENT IS WELL MADE

Loose threads, polyester, PVC and badly sewn seams are never good on any outfit, and this is even more important on a risqué outfit. 

An interesting movie trivia for you - Julia Robert's iconic seersucker dress in the first scene of Pretty Woman is by the brand Hunza G , a brand stocked on Net-a-Porter, not a random piece picked up from the likes of Shein. 

5. GO BACK TO BASICS AND WEAR PIECES THAT SUIT YOUR BODY TYPE

Last but not least, go back to your style basics and choose styles that complement your figure!
