1. Be Sure of Yourself

CONFIDENCE. It’s so sexy. And if you don’t have any, work on it ASAP. Focus on your strengths instead of your weaknesses. Think about all the beautiful parts about yourself, whether it’s your gorgeous blue eyes, sensuous dark brown hair, or intriguing silhouette. Never put yourself down and don’t forget to remember to look at the inside too, and compliment yourself for being so funny, kind, or whatever else.

2. Be Independent

Alongside confidence, independence is another one of those sexy attributes of a hot woman. The independent woman doesn’t chase or NEED a man; she is the one that gets chased and wanted. The independent woman has her sights set on something, whether it’s school or work or some other important event, and doesn’t need to find a man to support her or compliment her to know her worth. She doesn’t bother her man with ten thousand texts or calls and is secure in her relationship, when she is in one.

3. Wear Sexy Clothing

Wearing sexy clothing doesn’t mean you have to show off a ton of skin; but if that’s what you’re comfortable with, go ahead! Wear clothes that fit you right and accentuate your best features. A pair of tight jeans works wonders in the realm of every sex appeal while an enticing red or black fancy dress is a must for date night. Short skirts that show just enough leg and a pair of heels always work well in almost any situation and a tighter shirt is always a winner. Mix and match your ‘hot’ outfits and come up with something sexy that YOU are comfortable in and that fits you perfectly.

4. Know Your Worth

A sexy woman knows her worth and never settles for less. She won’t let a man walk all over her and she expects her man to treat her right.

5. Be Outgoing and Open

Having a personality to go along with that hot outfit and sexy attitude is imperative. After all, what’s the point of having all that sex appeal if you can’t even hold a conversation? It all starts with a charming smile and the ability to flirt. You should be outgoing and open, which means also not being afraid to be silly every now and then.

6. Have Goals

GOALS. Everyone should have them, especially a sexy woman! A woman who is confident and sure of herself has certain goals she will make for herself, whether it’s gaining muscle, earning a big promotion, or working towards buying her very own house. Goals are important to keep your focus strong and your head held high, and that’s why men find it so attractive. When you’re busy with goals you don’t have time to be worried about silly arguments, destructive relationships, or gossiping with your girlfriends.

7. Don’t Be Conceited

Ladies, I feel I need to remind you that there is a big big difference between being confident and being conceited. Men do NOT find conceited women attractive! You can certainly know you’re beautiful, but acting like you’re better than everyone around you because of your looks is a huge turn off. Thinking that you are too ‘hot’ or ‘cool’ to make jokes or do something silly with your boyfriend is a big turn off as well. Don’t be cocky- a woman who lacks confidence and is truly ugly on the inside will have this type of personality, and men simply don’t like it. A confident woman, on the other hand, knows her worth, knows her beauty on the inside and out, and isn’t afraid to be who she truly is. Now THAT is HOT!

What are some of the things you think make up a sexy woman?

The post 10 Must Watch Fashion Movies first appeared on herinterest.com/.

1. Printed.

Taylor Swift

When we think of black and white outfits, for some reason, plain black and plain white items come to mind. But, staying black and white is not that simple! A nice printed outfit will spice up your whole look and nobody will dare to call you a boring minimalist, as interweaving these two colors together in one perfect printed dress is anything but boring.

2. A piece of art.

If you are an artsy person who does not accept mediocrity and want to incorporate your artistic vision into the way you look, a simple black and white dress is just for you. It is quite baggy, but the different shapes of two contrasting colors turn it into a piece of art, making a clear statement that this season you will make your own rules.

3. Polka dots.

Cameron Diaz

Dots dots dots, dots are everywhere! They are just perfect on a feminine dress. In case of your own dotted dress, is it an unfinished thought or a prominent statement? Or is it just a tribute to the pinup era when  women embraced their curves and walked with style and dignity? Cameron Diaz’s choice is a praise to her infinite femininity, achieved with a simple means of a ladylike polka dot dress.

4. Undercover.

Kim Kardashian

If you have bright contrasting features and your skin and your hair type make you stand out no matter what you wear, then you can definitely pull off a big white coat that will make you distinctive. The fair game of opposing colors between her looks and her clothes is the key in this Kim Kardashian image. If you want to try something similar but have pale skin, change the accents and use a big black coat with white accessories and underclothes instead.

5. Androgynous.

Emma Watson

This is one of the most amazing looks for a fine gentle lady who wants to make a statement and emphasize her splendor. In any case, it’s necessary to know that you are aspiring for an androgynous look, not your boyfriend’s suit. The suit should fit you perfectly and please do not forget to complement it with high heel shoes and a bright lipstick. Emma Watson’s look is thought out to the smallest detail.

6. Business-like.

Angelina Jolie

Black and white are traditional colors for an office outfit. Everyone is aware of the standard rule: white top, black bottom; and it works perfectly if you need to look serious and professional. Black pencil skirt with a crispy white shirt and a bright pendant will ensure your success at any business meeting or seminar. Add endless heels for an ultimate lady-boss look or simple black flats to show your willingness to take up even most challenging assignments.

7. Visual puns.

You love minimalistic style but recently black and white started to bore you and you would like to try something new? Try visual effects, when different patterns go different directions and build a new look that needs to be deciphered. The chaotic stripes in the above picture will create an illusion of movement and velocity, and make sure these two colors will never bore you again.

8. Layers.

Black and white combination was made to be mixed and matched in all sorts of ways you can think of. That is why layering these colors turns out to be so efficient and impressive. Use different colors for different layers, and as they smoothly flow into each other, you will achieve a new distinct look. Set your imagination free, and the results will be outstanding.

9. Touch of color.

Kate Middleton

An interesting approach to mixing black and white together is to let one color be the main one and the other one a complimentary color to accentuate the whiteness (or blackness) and imminence of the dominant color. Our favorite princess Kate Middleton shows a perfect example of how you can integrate three black details (the shoes, the clutch, and the ring) into your all-white ensemble and look fabulous.

10. Let accessories do the talking.

Unlike the previous noble look, which talks in a perfect clear voice rather than screams out and makes a bold statement, this outfit is almost shouting, yet it manages to talk classy. This look is so well balanced and so perfect that any added details would be out of place. When deciding on accessories for your bright white outfit, think minimalism- there is no need for embellishments and extra décor, the color of your accessories will do all the work.

11. Misbalanced.

Beyonce

How about your whole outfit being in one color? Sounds dull, right? But how about you add an item that designates unequal parts to these two colors? That’s when we talk distinction. Sometimes being all balanced does not lead anywhere, and a bit of unbalanced look will actually make a statement and look out of ordinary. Beyoncé looks wonderful just by mixing this imbalanced top with a pair of simple black pants. Think about it next time you are shopping for black and white.

12. French chic.

Amal Clooney

White and black are perfect colors for stylish women who want to emphasize their lightness of being and seek inspiration in French lifestyle and chic. A bright suit paired with an elegant wide brim hat makes Amal Klooney graceful and airy. Mixing black and white in such a manner is a perfect way to add brightness to your image without adding anything other than monochromatic shades.

13. Mix the fabrics.

One of the greatest ways to wear black and white with sophistication and chic is to mix different and sometimes even opposing fabrics. Fur has been quite popular the past few seasons, fake fur might be more acceptable for some of us and it still looks as decent and classy as real one. This is just one of the options, but with the variety of different fabrics out there- leather, suede, velvet, silk, cashmere- the choice is all yours!

14. One accent.

Kate Beckinsale

If you are a fan of casual street style, this simple option is for you. Kate Beckinsale looks adorable in her all black outfit with just one white clothing item- her coat. Notice, however, that the coat blends in with the rest thanks to its black buttons and black buckle. Keep that in mind, when adding an accent into your monochromatic outfit.

15. Sporty girl.

These simple but sophisticated colors are not only for statement clothes and for fancy outfits, but you can also wear black and white for working out. This choice will keep you organized and will not distract from your workout routine. Integrating some unusual design into your top and leggings will make your whole look visually motivating.

16. New classics (white bottom, black top)

Amal Clooney

As you already know, traditional black and white outfit implies white top and black bottom. In our fast-developing world of fashion this is not the case anymore. It’s time for new classics, where despite everything being turned upside down, it does not shock or confuse you. Amal Clooney again brings these colors onto a new level, proving that breaking the standards and rules pays off. Try a white skirt instead of white pants and a simple black top and you are the embodiment of class and good taste.

17. With a twist.

Rebecca Romijn

Have you ever tried wearing white shoes with a black dress? Impossible and bad taste, isn’t’ it? Well, it is not that simple anymore and Rebecca Romijn is a vivid example of how this little faux-pas enriches and twists the whole image into something worth looking at. Definitely worth trying!

18. New shades.

Deep black and white might seem a bit too categorical for some girls. Indeed, life is not all black and white; there are multiple shades and nuances that make it so different, complex, and beautiful. Black and white, just like any other colors, have shades too. Dark or light, bright or dim. Or you can mix them together and get many shades of gray. Try working these shades if you are not comfortable yet using two basic colors or if you do not want to look just black and white.

19. White collar.

Victoria Beckham

Simple combination of purity and sensuality. A pair of simple black shoes will let you wear this dress to work, bold high heels and you are ready for a date, a pair of sexy stocking- and your night out will be hot. That’s why this little white collar is so amazing and versatile- one never knows when an office worker might turn into a seductress.

20. Add a color.

The post 20 Fabulous Ways to Wear Black and White first appeared on herinterest.com/.

1. Layered legs.

One of the easiest looks. It is ideal for those who are still learning the skill of wearing over the knee socks. Can be used with dashy printed tights for a bold look, or with modest sheer black tights for something more traditional and conservative (well, you cannot really look very conservative in over the knee socks, though!)

2. With shorts (denim or any other kind).

Have you always considered wearing shorts with tights to be a fashion crime? I would be happy to not only bust this myth but to add a pair of over the knees to the whole outfit. Believe me, there is nothing wrong with it, in fact, it gives you an opportunity to wear your favorite denim shorts in fall and winter. The key rule here is as follows: dress your upper half well in order not to have a misbalance between your summer top and your winter bottom. A sweatshirt will help you achieve intense results.

3. Urban chic.

When paired with a simple office dress, these socks add a deep dramatic touch. A pair of over the knee socks instantly changes your stern outfit into a sexy and sophisticated one. The thing about over the knee socks is that they already carry sexual seductive innuendo just by their mere existence. Pairing them with an ascetic dress brings the whole image onto a new level of a perfect balance between purity and sensuality.

4. Over the boots.

You can wear over the knee socks with most shoes- oxfords, combat boots, sneakers, and even sandals, but no matter which trends fashion designers suggest, these socks is firstly a fall/winter accessory. That is why, the best effect is achieved when they are paired with high boots. Indeed, over the knee socks are just made for high boots! They will keep your knees warm and your whole image aesthetically pleasant and noteworthy.

5. Girly edge.

This look is much favored with the teenage girls and everyone who feels young and playful. If you are not a teenage girl anymore, it might be not easy to pull off this look, but it is not impossible. First, avoid tiny plaid skirts. Leather or wool skirt can be an adequate substitute and it will keep your image girlish without appearing inappropriate. Second, choose adult shoes to go with this outfit. The skirt, though, can be any shape and style. Adding over the knees to a short skirt is a wonderful mode to wear a short skirt without looking too leggy. Besides, it adds a fresh edgy tone to the whole outfit.

6. Leggings and a baggy sweater.

You can always substitute leggings for a pair of sheer tights if you are bold enough, but the key message of this look still remains the same: winter is here and you are ready to face it. This outfit gives the impression of warmth and coziness and you would love to put it on when going for a cup of hot cappuccino with your bbfs.

7. In bright colors.

This is an ultimate trend for those who have already mastered the basics of wearing over the knee socks, and are ready to go advanced. The variety of bright colors if breathtaking and for those who are all set to go even further, there are plenty of over the knees of funky cool designs.

Over the knee socks are fun and practical. Play with your looks and you will see there is no more need to stop wearing your favorite clothes because of the cold gloomy weather.

2. Casual look.

Combats go well with a regular look. Wear them with a t-shirt and a pair of pants or your casual skirt. This look is always appropriate and great for busy girls who prefer the pleasure of comfort to the inconvenience of following the latest trends and do not want to think too much what to wear today.

3. Lace dress.

You bought a romantic lace dress on the spur of the moment and now are not really sure what to wear it with? Pair it with combats and a jeans jacket to toughen up your whole look and to not resemble a modern bride. The look turns into delicate and edgy at the same time and is great for each and everyone.

4. Floral dress.

This look is a variation of a lace dress. In this case, however, it is hard to imagine the floral dress to go with anything but a pair of combat boots. The key is to match the shade of the boots and the dress. The result is incredibly cute and irresistible!

5. Skater skirt.

With winter around the corner, it’s time to change the kicks and sneakers for much warmer and appropriate combat boots. Your favorite skater skirt will definitely look more fun when paired with those! It’s unbelievably cute and trendy. And will keep you warm.

6. Classic look.

Go all black to get the most out of these tough boots. Mix and match them with a black top and a black bottom. These boots have never looked sexier!

7. Mini.

You are proud of your legs and you will never part with your favorite mini? That is not a reason not to wear the trend of this season. Combine your mini skirt or a mini dress with a pair of tough combat boots for a hot edgy look. This a perfect combination of a girl next door and a hot seductress.

8. Business casual.

Yes, here is some great news- you can wear your combat boots to the office and still look professional! Match them with a business-like jacket and do not forget about a statement briefcase for the ultimate business casual look. You will look like competent and sharp in this outfit.

9. Laid back style.

Combat boots are perfect for your lazy weekend when you just want to relax and not care too much about your outfit. A beanie and a pair of sunglasses will help you stand out.

9. Jeans.This is the easiest look to pull off; all you need is a pair of jeans, a shirt, and a pair of combat boots. Everybody has jeans, so to spice an everyday uniform up, all you should do is mix and match them with a pair of combats. Go skinny for an everyday look or choose a boyfriend cut in case you are going for something sharper.

   11. Denim shorts.

   

   Wear combat boots with denim shorts if you have nice long legs and if it is still warm outside, of course. Combat boots will give your look a final touch, which would be impossible to get with sneakers or sandals; besides they help balance the hips with the bottom of your legs. That is why the look is also great for girls with curves, reminiscing of pinup era.

   12. High-waisted pants.

   

   Ever wondered how to make the trend of the season work without looking weird and disproportionate? The solution is simple- pair your high waisted pants with combat boots and voila- your look is complete and ready to go.

   13. Printed leggings.

   

   Great combination for an easy winter look when paired with a heavy scarf. Excellent choice for a shopping spree with your girlfriends. This look will definitely brighten gloomy winter days.

   14. Leather.

   

   For the ultimate 90’s look, wear your combats with leather items, such as leather pants and a biker jacket. Big hair is an essential element of this style. Mix and match the core with modern accessories not to look old-fashioned.

   15. Harem pants.

   

   You would be surprised to learn that combat boots can actually be worn with a hit of the year, that is, harem pants. This attention-grabbing summer item can be used in winter as well, when combined with a long-sleeve shirt and a pair of combats. You can choose warm winter harem pants for something more traditional or stay with the summer floral ones for something more trendy. Be careful though: if you want to pull off this style, consider thoroughly each little detail of your image.

   16. Vintage dress with knitted accessories.

   

   If you are a lucky owner of a really special dress, treat it with care and respect. For the vintage outfit not to look outdated, it is essential to pair it with modern accessories, which would be impossible in the time of the dress. That is when combat boots come to the rescue. Add some knitted elements to stay warm- and your stylish look becomes very expressive.

   17. Winter coat.

   

   Combat boots are great for cold wintertime when paired with appropriate winter items. A coat and a beanie will keep you warm and a pair of combat boots- trendy and chic. You can as well wear them with fur and leopard print coats to balance the flamboyance of the fur, which is sometimes the risk when wearing those items.

   18. Feminine style.

   

   After having tried all the looks described above, another way to spice up your look is to choose a different style for the boots. Go feminine for something outstanding and distinct. For example, different shades of white and beige, or floral prints on your combat boots will change your style dramatically and add girlish and easygoing touch to it. Perfect for girls who want to balance their natural boyish look by adding something more feminine and playful.

   19. Bright colors for a new look.

   

   If girlish and playful is not really for you, but you are tired of traditionally black and brown colors for your favorite boots, try something different. A splash of bright color will do the trick and lighten up your mood and your whole image.

   20. Rollover with socks or legwarmers.

   

   This looks awesome no matter what you match your boots with. Rollover your combat boots or leave them be, but add an extra layer of funky socks or legwarmers to look adventurous and stylish.

   Combat boots will definitely stay with us for while, that’s why choose a few perfect looks that fit your personality. And remember: no matter which style you choose for yourself, these boots are made for walking, so experiment, try new looks and in any case do not take it too seriously because fashion is nothing but a game.
   

The post 20 Cute Ways to Wear Combat Boots first appeared on herinterest.com/.

1. Do not dress too young.

Ditch the miniskirts for something classier and more elegant. It is ironic that dressing younger does not make you look younger; in fact, it makes you look older than you are. Why? Because wearing something designed for teenagers creates a misbalance between your look and your outfit. Take a look at Catherine Zeta-Jones, who at the age of 45 keeps is simple, stylish and age-appropriate.

2. Do not dress too old.

Sometimes women follow the first rule so meticulously that they go to other extreme and find somewhere grandma’s shoes and cardigans. Forget about those granny items for at least thirty more years, you are not a grandma yet (even if you already have grandchildren). Cate Blanchett’s gray jumpsuit is a great example of how you can age in style.

3. Take care of your hair.

A woman in her 20’s can pull off a simple hairdo and all she needs to look good is a wash and a brush. A woman in her 40’s needs to take extra care of her hair, since it immediately makes you look younger, more sophisticated and chic. Take extra ten minutes to style your hair. Get a fresh cut regularly. Can you tell Kate Beckinsale is 41? Her hair makes her look at least five years younger.

4. Know your type.

It is important that by the age of 40 you know your body and skin type and choose styles and colors accordingly. However, always keep in mind that your skin type might slightly change from when you were 30, so revise the clothes shades you were wearing until now. You might want to go brighter or change the color palette; that is why do not be afraid to experiment and try new things. You might get pleasantly surprised to find out that this shade of red in fact fits you perfectly. Especially with your signature red lipstick.

5. Go classy.

Do not shop trends, shop style. Forty is a good time to find your personal style, to learn what suits you best, to create your own rules and follow them. Instead of going hip, invest in timeless jewelry and handbags, which will help you develop your signature look, like, for instance, 42-year-old Gwyneth Paltrow does.

6. Get inspired by celebrities your age.

Look at movie actresses you like and follow their look without replicating it. Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry, Lucy Liu, Jennifer Aniston all look great in their forties. There is no reason why you should look worse than any of them.

7. Makeup! 

Have you been using the same palette in the past ten years? Remember, your skin changed and so did the makeup rules and trends. What was in vogue ten years ago and looked great on you, now will just reveal your age and outdated preferences. Moreover, if you never used makeup, now it is time to start doing so, since your natural beauty might get somewhat faded with age. Do not underestimate the power of makeup. Carefully chosen and applied, it will emphasize your beauty and glow. Heidi Klum would look very plain has she not used her makeup wisely.

8. Focus on shoulders and legs.

With age, your chest and neck might get wrinkly and less smooth, so it’s probably time to cover them with some nice accessories. As for your legs and your shoulders, they are the slowest to age, and that is why you can always show them off. Of course, I do not ask you, however, to wear minis, but wearing a nice pencil skirt will work great for women over 40.

9. Shop at stores that cater for your age.

You love Forever 21? Great, suggest your daughter to shop there. Your shopping niche is already different. It is more sophisticated. It is wrong however to think that over 40’s fashion provides only high-end shopping experiences. Budget stores like Asos, Banana Republic, and Mango offer great variety of outfits for women in their forties as well.

10. Use layers.

Do not underestimate the power of layering. Simple silhouettes turn more complex and visually stimulating, play with the layers and just be creative!

Follow these simple rules and you will look and feel great about yourself and never have a moment of fashion awkwardness again. And remember: age is just a number!

1. Get a perfect fit.

Oversized coats and shirts might be comfortable but clothes that are actually your size are way more flattering and easier to wear. A jacket that is right for you will not fall off your shoulders and will benefit your petite body, emphasizing your assets. Get your clothes adjusted if they do not fit you perfectly.

2. Avoid bulk.

Choose items that are plain with as little de’cor as possible. Too much design adds size and can make petite women look shorter and heavier than they are. As a petite woman, you probably would like to look taller and not broader, therefore avoid ruffle and rumple. If you still want to add more fluff to your outfit, opt for something that looks neat and accurate, like a bow blouse, a peplum dress, or a lace hem jumper.

3. Choose the right bag.

Remember that you might get lost behind an oversized bag, so when investing into a good purse opt for something smaller and less massive. A clutch or a crossbody bag are always in style and will give a final touch to your petite style.

4. Know which shoes are best for you.

Everyone knows that the easiest way to add height is by wearing heels. However, it’s not that simple and not all heels add height. Wedges and platforms could be right for a petite girl only if she has either curves or tiny feet, otherwise they might make your elfin legs visually shorter and larger. Ankle shoes and sandals can look great on you in case your legs are super skinny. The heels do not have to be extremely high; always pick a height that is comfortable for you. Stilettos will work magic for your legs, making them longer and more noticeable. If you think stilettos are not for you, pick shoes with heels that are not too heavy. Plain light flats will work well too. Shoes with open or pointed toes, no matter heels or flats, can give the illusion of height as well.

5. Go skinny.

Skinny or straight jeans were made for petite girls. To keep a thin line, choose pants without cuffs, bulky pockets, or any other decorations. Also, forget about those baggy cargo pants and boyfriend jeans. Petite pants for petite women!

6. Work with color.

Decide which skin type you are and dress accordingly. Wear monochromatic clothes that do not distract attention from your little figure. Besides, unicolor clothes lengthens your frame. A petite woman might simply vanish behind something too colorful. If, however, you would like to add a splash of color, aim for different shades for your top and bottom, but stay within homogenous outlines.

7. Choose the right patterns.

Petite women have delicate features so big patterns might be too overwhelming for them. Small and gentle outlines will look great on you without shifting the focus from the airiness of your body and your features. Also, remember to go for patterns that elongate you, like, for instance, vertical stripes.

8. Take care of your neckline.

V-necks and scoops look great on petite girls. They elongate your look and show your beautiful neck. There is nothing else to add here, just make sure your tops and dresses, no matter which style and design, open your neck and maybe some cleavage. Take a look at Eva Longoria’s outfit in this photo; doesn’t she look great in this V-neck blouse?

9. Wear fine accessories.

Narrow belts, thin silver or golden necklaces, stud earrings- fine jewelry should be your first choice. Petite women cannot always pull off bold heavy accessories, so rather pick something more expensive that would be an investment jewelry. You should avoid extravagant accessories, especially when your height is or below 5’4”. Do not go for big heavy earrings or a choker, because women with petite figure do not usually have long necks. When deciding on a belt, choose a thinner one that will cover just your waist and not half of your torso. Nowadays, there is always a big selection of designs available to choose from, which can complement your look while preserving your gentle frame.

10. Go cropped.

What is your best asset, as a petite woman? Many miniature women are proud of their think wrists and ankles, and they are right. Your delicate arms and legs are worth showing; besides wearing full-length pants and shirts might make you look smaller than you are. That is when cropped jeans and three quarter sleeves work magic.

I hope these tips will be useful to our petite audience. Remember though that every person is different and you will need to play with these recommendations and see what works best for you. (all images sourced via pinterest)
