Sex Up Your Wardrobe

According to beauty experts at iVillage, every women needs just six items in her closet to turn any regular outfit into something sexy enough to make Halle's get-up in Catwoman seem conservative.

The first item on the list is a stylish cardigan. This season's sweater is a sexy "secretary sensation." We suggest that you wear these over a lacy, see-thru camisole, or--for the little more daring-- wear them over nothing at all. The extra exposure of skin is sure to turn a Sunday school ensemble into something racy enough to wear to the Pussy Cat Lounge.

Ok, so everyone has simple studs and maybe some pearls in their jewelry box. However, to add instant WOW to your outfit, add a bold pair of dangling earrings. Earrings that swing add flare to anything from a fitted turtleneck sweater to a black cocktail dress. You can pull your hair back or let it fall, this simple accessory adds sex appeal without any fuss.

Silky, lacy, feminine. Three words that scream sexy and describe a trend in women's fashion. Whether worn under a cardigan or alone, these "skimpy" and usually sheer options may have once been reserved for the bedroom, but today can be paired with a pair of jeans, some drop hoop earrings and hot heels for a night of clubbing!!!

Next on the list is the obvious: STILETTOS! Once you slip on a pair of high heels something magic happens. It's like you instantly feel sexy. Now high heels are sexy, but there is nothing sexy about not being able to walk in 5-inch heels. Not a problem! Try subtly sexy shoes that have lace-up detailing in the back, or strappy sandals that show those lovely ankles.

Almost as obvious as the shoes is the jeans. Sexy jeans, the one that cling to all the right curves and maybe dip a little around the waist, make you feel skinnier, taller and more confident. The right pair of jeans makes any woman just a little more confident and feisty. Pair them with the right heels and men will follow that sway as you pass them on the street.

What exactly is a Jersey Wrap Dress? Like most wrap dresses, this concept still can camouflage your not so in shape areas--but with one crucial difference. It has a little cling to it. So whether you want to hide your tummy or play up your cleavage, a wrap dress is the perfect answer to instant sexy. Just pair with your new sexy heels and dangling earrings and hit the party! But be warned, your instant sex appeal may make it hard for your guy to let you walk out the door!
