    Contrary to what women’s magazines from the early aughts may have led you to believe, dressing sexy isn’t just about a low-cut neckline or a thigh-high slit. It’s about wearing clothes that help you feel confident and comfortable in your own skin. To that end, we styled five stereotypically sexy pieces in low-key ways that let your personality shine through.

    THE LBD

    A little black dress can fall anywhere on the spectrum from sweet to openly seductive—due in no small part to the styling. Here, a pointelle baby tee, a delicate choker, and tall boots tip the scale toward the former.

    A strategically placed cutout can take a maxidress from demure to hot damn. To offset the overt sensuality, add a belted blazer and creamy combat boots.

    THE SILK TANK

    This look is a little ’90s, a little balletcore—and every bit as elegant IRL as it looks on your screen. Play up the sheen of the fabric with light-reflecting accessories, like a chain-strap bag and a tennis necklace that won’t break the bank.
