1. Show Skin Strategically
Looking truly sexy involves knowing what to bare—and what to keep
under wraps. Otherwise, where's the mystery? "Choose one—only one—body
part and show it off," advises Jen Rade, stylist to Jenna Fischer and Angelina Jolie. "If it's cleavage, don't show your legs. If it's your legs, stay covered on top."
2. Round Up White Button-Downs
They elevate jeans and keep ball skirts from drifting into
fantasy-land. All that mileage comes at a cost: a short shelf life.
So buy three, don't overbleach (which can cause yellowing), and refresh
regularly.
3. Accessorize in Brights
If you've got a closet full of neutrals—be they navy, black,
camel, or gray—add energy with boldly hued shoes and bags. Not only is a
hunter green satchel more lively than ho-hum black, but it's also
surprisingly versatile. Feeling really brave? Wear a neutral base with
shoes and a bag in two different complementary colors.
4. Know Your Stretch
The secret formula for a soft but formfitting T? 95% cotton, 5%
Lycra spandex. For jeans to hold their shape, they need at least 2%
Lycra.
5. Throw On a Scarf
It's the ultimate accessory according to a host of the
best-dressed women we interviewed. Stash one in your purse or carry-on
to transform simple Ts in the time it takes to make a knot. Guys are fast buying into this accessory too.
