You know how some people exude that easy, sexy (in a classy way) vibe without even looking like they’re trying? We call it languid sensuality. Well, it’s got a lot to do with confidence, and the choice of clothing.
To score that vibe, think in terms of fabric and silhouette. Certain fabrics such as cotton, silk, wool and denim are naturally comfy and will put you at ease. Similarly, relaxed silhouettes make you feel loungey and less body-conscious.
Of course, the key to nailing this “easy sexy” look without looking sloppy is picking the right pieces and pairing them well. Here are nine easy, workable looks to start with. Totally office-appropriate, too.
