nospam99 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 In another thread in another category, a female LSer remarking on having 'game' in dating mentioned that when she was dating among the things she did was wear sexy clothes. That got me to thinking (yeah, more cerebral pain) ... For a woman, I think of sexy clothes as showing skin. Somewhere I picked up the 40% skin standard: short or slit skirt, bare arms and back, cleavage, maybe a strategically placed cutout. Also tight, showing off that waist to hip ratio. And heels, expecially strappy heels For guys, I'm not so sure. I guess at least a bit of tight still applies. But ... my ex-wife used to say I looked great in a suit or a tux - neither tight nor showing skin. I have this stereotype of a 'playah' dressing sexy with his shirt open to the naval and gold chains hanging on his chest (perhaps I've seen too many James Bond flicks or music videos). What do the rest of you think qualifies as sexy clothes? Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Lucky Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 What do the rest of you think qualifies as sexy clothes? Speedo? :eek: j/k... I think it's harder for guys for a couple of reasons - - most of us lack women's cultivated fashion sense - for men, a thin line between "casual" and "slobby" - women have a range from "sexy" to "very sexy". Our range is from "sexy" to "d*bag" I'd rather err on the side of caution... Mr. Lucky Link to post Share on other sites
JuneL Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Omg, please don’t show skin, not on the first few dates anyway. A man gives off his sexy vibe through his intelligence, his words, his mannerism, etc. The first few times I saw my bf (before we even started dating), he was wearing his scrubs and crocs, but he was sexy as hell, to me anyway 1 Link to post Share on other sites
carhill Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I always got more comments from friend's wives or female friends when trading in shop casual for more tallored and dressy attire, with coordinating jewelry. First learned about that when married and my wife at the time turned me on to getting clothes tailored, not simply wearing what I grabbed off a hangar. That made a big difference. Sexy? IDK. Noticeable, yes. Not invisible. Being invisible was quite the norm prior. I definitely know how to blend Link to post Share on other sites
basil67 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Sexy doesn't come from clothing, it comes from attitude. Imagine a woman with no sex appeal who wears sexy clothing. Do those clothes make her magically become sexy? No they don't. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

sabaton Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 For a woman, I think of sexy clothes as showing skin. Somewhere I picked up the 40% skin standard: short or slit skirt, bare arms and back, cleavage, maybe a strategically placed cutout. Also tight, showing off that waist to hip ratio. And heels, expecially strappy heelsShorts shorts. Those sweaters that are cut in the midriff area leaving the belly button exposed. Those summer dresses, yoga pants, and of course anything that gives the indication that the girl is wearing a g-string. Heels, which look good on any woman and even better on naturally tall girls. For guys, I'm not so sure. I guess at least a bit of tight still applies. But ... my ex-wife used to say I looked great in a suit or a tux Tank tops, to put your wide shoulders in display, and to make your buffed biceps even more visible and noticeable, '' low riding'' that gives the girl a glimp of your toned Adonis belt V-shaped torso.

stillafool Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Game isn't the way you dress, it's the way you move, look at a person and what comes out of your mouth. Link to post Share on other sites
Gaeta Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Slvtty is about showing skin, sexiness is about showing your curves in a confident way. I can be sexy with a regular jeans and a turtle neck and you see no skin. A woman that knows what she's got and works it (no matter her size) is sexy. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Starswillshine Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 A guy with his shirt unbuttoned to his navel or even down lower chest is just ewwww. Sexy is in his confidence. I don't know what I would qualify as sexy dress as I tend to like more casual than formal. Throw on a flannel shirt and some jeans. YES! As a woman, what you describe sounds more slutty than sexy. I always follow the rule, you either show legs or arms/boobs... Never both at the same time. Never show that much skin. I agree with a previous poster who said women who know how to work with what flatters their size. THAT is sexy dress. (And classy) Classy not trashy, always a rule! Link to post Share on other sites
No_Go Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 For a woman: emphasizing feminine features: bust/waist/hips, legs, posture (high heels help). Hair. Skin showing or not. For a man: emphasizing masculinity: built, height. I personally like minimalistic style for a man, the simpler the better. Honestly, a good figure looks good in anything, but not so good one can look also good if emphasizing the right spots. Some self-awareness works wonders. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
major_merrick Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I think it depends on the person. For my husband... I love him in uniform, or dressed in all black. He just looks so serious. With my GF#1, she can look sexy wearing anything, but more skin is tends to catch my eye. When we were first dating, she would usually just wear jeans and an average top, often in the color red. Red is a lust color, and it acts subliminally on the brain. At least it did for me... Link to post Share on other sites
Chilli Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Sexy clothes to my taste are probably way different to what most guys might think as sexy. But if she turned up in short skirts and popping out tops or skin , something like that l'd be a bit turned off. l adore femininity thin shoulders and waist and curvy little hips slender hands stuff like that so l'm a real sucker for anything feminine that just extenuates those kinda features with her. Not sayin skin tight or skin just nicely cut even loose feminine clothes can bring all those things out but eh, it's hard to explain. Coz l ain't no fashion expert but when she's got it, l'm screwed haha. Nothing fancy for myself just loose casual stuff. Link to post Share on other sites
Author nospam99 Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 I always appreciate replies on threads I start. But (y'all KNEW there was a but coming ) my question is about sexy CLOTHES, not general sexy APPEARANCE or generic sexiness. Yes, a person can exude sexiness in ways other than their dress and several of you have posted about that. But I was curious what everyone thought sexy clothes meant because in another post someone had listed sexy clothes in an enumeration of what to do when one is 'hunting/fishing'. We now return to our regularly scheduled pontifications. Link to post Share on other sites
thefooloftheyear Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Sexy doesn't come from clothing, it comes from attitude. Imagine a woman with no sex appeal who wears sexy clothing. Do those clothes make her magically become sexy? No they don't. Yep... A potato sack with arm and head cutouts could look dynamite on Denise Milani, and conversely the hottest outfit you could find could look like crap on another woman who doesn't have "it"...
