It's the most epic battle of all time... okay, not really, but it's something that every girl should know the difference between. What looks steamy sexy and smokin hot? And what looks just too trashy?
Why it's important:
1. Your Image: It's important the image you put across. To put it delicately, you give people the wrong idea if you walk around looking like you just stepped out of a porno. People notice your appearance first and if you look like that... it definitely puts people off.
2. Guys notice too: Once again, guys could get the wrong idea if you look too slutty. And the good guys, who won't take advantage of you, will get the impression that your "easy" and that's just bad all around. And think about how your boyfriend would feel with you walking around like that...
3. Respect: Honestly, people have less respect for you you appear to have no respect for yourself. If it looks like you're trying to sell yourself, people will shy away... which could make you feel bad about who you are.
So even though it matters to other people... it should matter to YOU the most. Anyway, here are some ways from looking too trashy.
HAVE THIS? - Fishnet tights
GET THIS!- Lace tights
Lace tights look much sweeter and more polished that fishnets. Make sure there are no runs or rips in them.
Good Idea- Wear them on a more formal occasion with a black pencil skirt.
Bad Idea- Denim mini skirts with lace tights look odd and very informal.
HAVE THIS? - Corset
GET THIS! - Floral Bustier
A floral bustier is much more clean cut yet still looks pretty.
Good Idea- Put it over a matching pale thermal and with a pair of jeans. Great for school!
Bad Idea- Don't try it by itself (unless you have a jacket/sweater over it) or with too-short shorts.
HAVE THIS?- Strappy, sky-high pumps
GET THIS!- Simple black patent pumps
Strappy shoes are good for summer but when they're too high they look too stripper-esque. If you want skyscraper-high heels, try simple pumps.
Good Idea: Black pumps, skinny jeans, and a t-shirt is a great, chic date look.
Bad Idea: Pumps and leather mini skirts (for anything other than an 80's party) are a big no.
Some more wear-me-nots....
1. Crop tops/belly shirts
2. Too-short skirts or shorts
3. Shirts with too much cleavage
There you have it, some great alternatives to anything too revealing!
Happy Styling!
