How to look sexy without being sleazy? Simple, says Cynthia Nellis. Just add a couple of unexpected accessories and some sensual essentials. There are a lot of ways to express your sexuality, not just by donning a micromini. Here are a few tips on how to add sensuality without sacrificing your modesty and class.

Do red lipstick. Remember, nothing does the job better than red, no matter what you think. It will add a splash of color and the stylish retro vibe. For young girls – shimmer merry lip gloss is ok, older women should choose matte red that best suits your skin tone (blue-reds for darker skin tones; orangey hues for olive; true reds for blondes).

Add a hat. Remember Sarah Jessica with all her hats and panamas? It is a perfect way to get a major sex appeal. You can start with classic shapes, such as fedora or beret.

Experiment with shoulder-duster earrings, they work great for the after-dark look, especially when combined with bare shoulders and updos. Wear metallic. It has a great luminous effect and, in addition, is one of the hottest looks this spring.

Go for fabrics that feel nice against your skin, like cashmere, silky satin and buttery soft suede. Pay some attention to exotic dresses that add feminine charm and intrigue. Harem pants, sarongs and embroided items are the ethnic looks borrowed by Western designers from Asia and North Africa.

A nice pair of sunglasses will add mystery and a cute look, as well as protect your eyes.

Play peek-a-boo: do not bare your breasts. Nude linings, camisoles and slips will keep you covered and at the seam time stay suggestive.
