Ten Tips for Achieving a Sexy Look

There is not a woman on this planet who does not want to look sexy. The sexy look is perfect for a romantic evening out with a special someone or for an evening out on the town or if you want to grab that cute co-workers attention. A woman feels more confident and feminine when she feels sexy.

One way to achieve a sexy look is to wear exotic apparel. Clothing that is considered to be exotic are harem pants, a dress fashioned after the mandarin Asian style, embroidered items and more. An exotic look creates a unique, sexy feeling.

Another way in which to achieve a sexy look is by wearing something ordinary in an extraordinary way. An example of this would be a regular pair of jeans paired with a sexy tank top and high heels. This changes the original message that the outfit conveyed.

A hat is a great way to draw people towards you. A trendy hat such as a newsboy or fedora is a look that portrays sex appeal. Pull the hat slightly down shading your eyes and you have added a hint of mystery. Make sure that you are comfortable with the type of hat you choose.

Fashion experts agree that nothing is sexier then red lipstick. Choose a light red if your skin is paler or a darker red for tan skin. The red lipstick can be enhanced with lip liner. Your lips will be the main focal point as you quickly become the center of attention.

Sunglasses do not just protect your eyes from the sun but by putting on a pair of sunglasses you are utilizing one of the sexist accessories. A pair of sunglasses add allure, charm and secrecy to any look. Find the latest shades at Fashion Obsessed.

When achieving a sexy look do not be afraid to let your best assets shine. Play a little game of hide in seek with lingerie inspired apparel such as slips or sheer linings or camisoles. This look, especially when paired with lace, is very suggestive.

When choosing sexy clothes make sure to choose clothing that is made from soft fabrics. You want your clothing to be touchable. Pick fabrics such as cashmere, silk, satin or suede. The best part about wearing soft fabrics is that you not only look amazing but the clothes are ultra-comfortable against your skin.

Clothing that is metallic in colour is hot right now. Silver, copper and gold are trendy shades that allow you to make a grand entrance. Make sure to choose tones that suit the colour of your skin. Since the metallic is flashy make the rest of the outfit neutral. This means simple jewelry and accessories. For more fashion savvy hints visit www.fashionobsessed.com.

The best way to achieve a sexy look has nothing to do with clothing. No, we are not talking about running around nude. This may get you into trouble with the law. The sexiest look is achieved when you make a dramatic, show stopping appearance. An example of this would be if you wore a top that appears plain in the front but has a sexy cut out back. Take advantage of the element of surprise when you wish to achieve a look saturated with sex appeal. Surprise that special someone with a sexy look that will leave them breathless.

Victorian Clothes And The New Media Era

These days with our web 2.0 websites and endless flows of information we tend to think of ourselves as being in the information era, or the era of new media. Interestingly our fascination with Victorian clothes and our plentiful knowledge of them could be seen as a result of a different information age.

The industrial revolution which started in the late 18th and early 19th centuries was in full swing by the time period we think of as the Victorian era. The result of this era of technological innovation is more plentiful textiles, the growth of cities, and with modern conveniences the time for yet more technological innovation. Two technological innovations of the time stand out in my mind.

The first technological advance is photography. The era of photograph was begun in 1827, and the process continued improving throughout the century. Fashions which could have been drawn by hand to be shared now were capable of being photographed and shared more quickly. Also, fashions that might have been occasionally captured in drawings in earlier centuries were now being captured in photographs – whether wealthy patrons requesting portraits or photographers capturing the scene about them. The advent of photography deepened our visual history of a time period. Perhaps the advent of consumer video, digital photography and places to share them will be looked upon in future generations in much the same way.

The second, the advance of communication technologies the telegraph in 1832 and wireless technologies greatly advanced the speed with which information could be transferred. Now not only could sights be shared through photography but information could be shared over long distances through telegraphy. A style in London or Paris could soon be known elsewhere.

Yes, there are recreations of clothing from eras other than the Victorian Era, but we see far more echoes of the styles of the Victorian era in current fashion and fascinations than in the times that came before. We see Victorian clothes in the Gothic Lolita fashion from Japan, and we see elements of Victorian details in ball gowns. In our houses options in styling include Victorian bric-a-brac and stylized furniture – including the claw foot tub in the bathroom. And even in our technological creative endeavors along side cyberpunk we have steampunk which is set in the Victorian Era. Steampunk creations, both real and fictional, have taken liberally from the style and technologies of the Victorian Era.

So while Renaissance Faires and re-creation have their place, and the Lindsey Hop has its day, in some ways it is the Victorian Era that most closely mirrors our time where innovation and changes in communication happen daily. And thus Victorian clothes, and the era in general, hold a place of fascination for many.
