The Little Black Dress is now a MUST have for every girls wardrobe these days, and Wallis Warfield Simpson, Duchess of Windsor, was known to own several little black dresses and said much in praise of the garments. One quote of the Duchess: “When a little black dress is right, there is nothing else to wear in its place.
From the perspective of a male I would say yes to the little black dress and no to the tuxedo, I mean sure, the tuxedo has brought the level of sex appeal to whole different level, with its hint of masculinity, and if you’re into “gender bending” and looking quite tomboyish, then be my guest. But to speak from a males perspective, if I were approached by a female wearing the tuxedo get up, I would actually feel quite intimidated, not that it would make me feel less manly but on the contrary it would make the female who wore the tuxedo, look less feminine.
Don’t be afraid to show some skin, the LBD has and always will have sex appeal written all over it, but ok to be honest, you can never have enough sex appeal. But it’s also showing of skin and the style of the dress is what really gets eyes on you, Oh! I almost forgot. Don’t forget to accessorize ladies! Throw on a matching bangle or maybe your mother’s $1500 Paspaley pearl necklace, something to distinguish yourself from the other ladies in the crowd is what gets heads turning in your direction. One iconic lady who I think looks absolutely fabulous and sexy in the LBD is Audrey Hepburn, with her classic pearl necklace to match. After reading what Giorgio Armani has for his spring collection on it states that Giorgio Armani is going all-out in femininity for the Spring Privé collection, and the main goal was to break away from the severity of suits.
In the end, I would say “Bite the bullet” and wear a dress. You can never go wrong with the classic little black dress, and the possibilities and amount of sex appeal are infinite. It's not only the dress that brings out the sexiness, but it's also you, the wearer of the dress, so don't be afraid to show some skin!
