  1. Classic trench coat
    A basic belted trench coat is versatile and comes in a variety of fabric and color options. To avoid looking like a secret agent: Choose a well-tailored option that hits right at (or below) the knee for a polished look.
  2. Sexy bikini
    The most flattering two-piece is one that's not too skimpy; pick a halter or bandeau top with a hipster bottom for just enough coverage in your sexy bikini. Or play up curves and make legs look longer in a one-piece suit with a high-rise cut.
  3. Stylish pair of flat shoes
    Give your feet a well-deserved break; try a knockout color like red. Heels aren't the only way to fancy up your feet. From preppy-casual to peep-toe sexy, you'll love the way the right flat shoes look with jeans, dresses and trousers.
  4. Sophisticated white shirt
    Think of a white button-up blouse as your upper body's version of black pants—it's versatile enough to wear anywhere, with almost anything. Pair your white shirt over a bikini for a weekend getaway or with your favorite pants for work.
  5. Cashmere sweater
    Invest in a classic style in a statement-making, vibrant color to brighten up your wardrobe. A cashmere sweater is luxurious and versatile—you can wear it to the office, for an evening on the town or just chilling out at home.
  6. Sexy camisole
    For a hint of sexiness and sophistication, wear this essential underpinning with a jacket or a cardigan. With several flattering styles from silky to lacy, a sexy camisole looks super-stylish on its own too.
  7. Slimming A-line skirt
    From mid-thigh to knee-skimming or longer, an a-skirt with just enough volume to move with you is always feminine and fun.
  8. Fabulous-fitting jeans
    Whether faded or tailored, the right pair of jeans will make you feel super-sexy every minute.
