It is true that your hair choice can make or break an outfit. Therefore, if you are going for a sexy look it means that you should embody sexiness from head to toe.

The face

The hair basically drapes your face and it is important to pay as much attention to your face as you would with your hair and outfit choice. Shape the eyebrows, which are in every sense an important part of creating a sexy look. Heavy make-up doesn’t necessarily translate to a sexy look. Less is always more, when it comes to turning up the heat with make-up. Remember to ‘dress’ your face up for the occasion, depending on whether it is for a day or night look or for a special occasion.

The Outfit

Many people take time to choose an outfit for the day or night and even more time on this decision if it is for a special occasion. If you are going for a sexy look, work with the premise that sexiness shines through any outfit you choose for the day. The key is to choose outfits that bring out your womanly charm and stay true to the occasion. Pantsuits and jeans can be transformed into sexy outfits as long as they are in the right fit and paired with the right accessories.

The Shoes

The shoes are considered as the icing on a cake, for a perfectly put together outfit. Who said that sandals couldn’t be part of a sexy look? It all depends on the occasion and outfit they are paired with. Just like the outfit you choose, the shoes should also stay true to the occasion. When it comes to shoes, it is also important to wear shoes that are comfortable. When you are comfortable, you will relax more and the sexiness will easily shine through.

All in all remember that sexiness is relative and the key is to do what works for you.
