You want to know how to look sexy—who doesn’t? It’s actually easier than you think. Before you know it, you’ll be strutting your stuff sexily!
All of us want to look sexy and attractive, but it’s not something that everyone can own and brag about. Yet, believe it or not, there are ways to catch everyone’s eye and take the breath out of a room when you walk into it, without even trying! Yes, you can learn how to look sexy by owning who you are!
While walking across a street, have you ever taken a second glance at someone? It’s usually because they look so sexy, radiant, and perfect like they just stepped out of the pages of a magazine, right? All of us have done it.
You can say that some people have the oomph and sexiness naturally, while others just don’t. But that’s not entirely true. You can learn how to look and feel sexy without even trying, and make a difference in your life in no time! [Read: 15 super simple ways to keep yourself sexy at any age]
You can’t please everyone, so don’t bother trying!
Sexy can mean different things to different people; it’s totally subjective. Certain people could say confidence is sexy while others might think shyness and being bashful is sexy.
No two people have the exact same opinion on what makes someone sexy.
For that reason, you have to know that you can’t please everyone. Trying to be everyone’s kind of sexy will result in you becoming a hot mess—and that’s not a good thing.
Finding what’s unique about you and bringing that forward in an enticing way is how you’ll be sexier than ever. [Read: Low self-worth – steps to see yourself in better light]
How to encompass sexy in a way that can change your life
There are a lot of things that make someone look sexy and attractive. And it’s not all about the outer appearance. Some of the sexiest people on earth aren’t really the prettiest, but they’re still sexy.
You can figure out how to look sexy by just following these steps and walking into a new and improved sexy life. Let’s hot you up!
1. What do you like about yourself?
Think back to all the people you’ve been with. What’s a commonality they all thought was cute or sexy about you?
There has to be something everyone has mentioned that you may not have even thought about. Your laugh could be the sexiest thing about you if everyone has always said so. Think about what it is so you can focus on it. [Read: 65 physical attraction tips to look way more attractive and desirable in no time]
2. A great physique
A great body involuntarily attracts attention and impresses everyone, even before they can see your face! So hit the gym and stay in shape if you want to get the “physical” advantage.
Getting a well-shaped body is one of the first steps in trying to look sexy. It’ll make you look good from the outside, but more than anything else, feeling healthier and great from within will make you feel really sexy from the inside.
Clothes will look a lot better on you than it does on other people, and you’ll get a huge boost in confidence. If you want to know how to look sexy, this is one of those aspects that can play a big part. [Read: 26 secrets to get motivated to work out and exercise your way to a better life]
3. Dress in a way that makes you feel hot
Most people think they know how to dress well, but honestly, they really don’t. Do your friends always look at you in awe or compliment you for your great taste in clothes?
No? Then you’re obviously not the best-dressed person in your social circle. You really don’t have to spend a million bucks to look like it.
So long as you wear outfits that not only complement each other but compliment your body shape and skin tone, you can look and feel incredible on a budget. [Read: How to dress sexy – 29 subtle and classy ways to make them lust for you]
But here’s something you need to remember—dressing in a way that makes you feel hot doesn’t mean dressing in something sexy or slinky. If you dress in something that makes you feel great and comfortable, your sex appeal will be evident.
4. Work on your confidence
Confidence isn’t something that can be seen. But in order to figure out your best features, you’ll need to work on this. Confidence isn’t just about thinking you’re the hottest and best looking.
In fact, it’s more about loving yourself fiercely despite many flaws. When you gain confidence, you’ll understand what it is that’s special about you and it can help you own your newfound sex appeal!
If you don’t ever believe you’re sexy from within, you’ll always feel like a fake. And that’ll always make you appear like someone who’s just trying too hard. [Read: Imposter syndrome – 36 causes, signs, types, and ways to stop feeling fake]
5. Groom yourself
If you’ve got a sexy body and have started to dress better, you’re probably noticing a lot of second glances already. But the devil is in the details. Don’t just stop with clothes and a good physique.
Get a flattering haircut, use perfumes with great silage and complex notes that smell great on your skin, and accessorize.
Perfumes and accessories may not do much to make you sexier, but sexiness comes from the inside, so if you feel sexy, you’ll look sexy. It may sound patronizing to repeat this on and on, but it’s completely true.
6. Buy sexy underwear
There’s nothing that can make you feel sexier than wearing sexy underwear. You don’t have to reveal it for all the world to see.
But just knowing that you’re wearing something so sexy and beautiful inside your regular attire can make you feel sexy about yourself. Call it “inner confidence” if you will! [Read: Lingerie selfie – how to perfect the art of foreplay from afar]
7. Pamper yourself
Ever felt like buying that luxurious grooming product? Go ahead and pick it up *as long as you can comfortably afford it!*.
Sexy people love themselves and pamper themselves all the time. Come on, you’re so sexy you deserve the best of stuff.
If you don’t believe you deserve a good splurge now and then, either on your cosmetics or on your accessories, then you’re not really feeling sexy about yourself. Love yourself, and indulge yourself now and then. [Read: How to stop self-destructive behavior and change your life for good]
8. Highlight your best traits
If you have big ears and don’t like them, it’s fine to wear your hair down to shield them. However, you should also highlight some of your best traits.
If you have great skin and sexy collarbones but don’t like your ears, throw that hair up. Don’t hide the great things just because they might expose the stuff you dislike.
People will pay far more attention to that glowing skin and décolletage than they will your ears. [Read: Feisty girl – 35 personality traits that make her so scarily sexy]
9. Don’t be insecure about your less attractive traits
We’ve all got something we don’t like about ourselves. But they’re likely not as noticeable as you might think.
When we look at ourselves, we tend to hyperfocus on the parts of ourselves that we don’t like, making them seem bigger and more significant.
However, other people look at you completely differently! Their eyes are more drawn to your better features, so much so that they won’t even notice the parts that you’re insecure about. So there’s no point wasting time and energy hiding your “bad” features, because no one’s looking!
10. Respect yourself and be respected
If you don’t respect yourself, you can’t be confident. And if you aren’t confident, you’ll never really know how to look sexy, at least to the best of your potential.
Learn to respect yourself and consider yourself worthy of being respected by others, be it your friends or your own partner.
Don’t let your friends take you for granted or throw you around like you’re not important. When you’re around people who love you and respect you, your own self-worth will grow and you’ll learn to be more confident.
And always remember this—respecting yourself is not a sign of being egoistic. It shows that you know your own worth. [Read: How your self-respect in a relationship affects you and your love life]
11. Let out your goofy side
Being goofy and having a fun personality is incredibly sexy. If you’re a naturally silly person, then be silly around the people you like.
Not everyone has this quality and it can be extremely attractive to the right people.
12. Love your life
If you want to know how to be sexy without even trying, learn to love yourself and your life. Be happy and have fun every day.
Being fun and exuberant is sexy. Have you ever seen gloomy people who are always pessimistic or negative in life? They’re not very good company and they don’t attract any flirty attention even if they’re rather good-looking.
Be the life of the party, laugh and be cheerful, and look at the bright side of everything. Happy people always look attractive and they make everything around them come alive like a burst of fresh air.
Be that happy attractive person and you’ll have potential mates lining up for your affection. [Read: 33 secrets to be true to yourself and 15 signs you need to unfake your life]
13. Be yourself
Yes, it’s cheesy. However, there are too many people trying to be sexy in ways that just aren’t them. You ARE sexy already. You’re your own type of sexy and you can’t try to cover that up by trying to be something else.
That only makes you awkward and seem like a fake person. Let your own light shine. Don’t snuff it out in order to use someone else’s. It’ll appear duller and much less attractive.
14. Work your expressions
There’s nothing cuter and sexier than a good-looking person who knows how to be expressive in a confident and sexy manner. [Read: How to flirt with a guy subtly without really flirting at all]

This is not the eighties. Big hair, over-the-top outfits, and garish makeup aren’t exactly the trendiest looks of today.
Right now, everyone seems to be trending towards the “less is more” belief and the same can be said for one’s appearance.
Be natural without seeming sloppy. There is no need to go over the top to look attractive. Just find your own happy medium.

Whether it is swinging by the grocery store for five minutes or heading out for a day filled with back-to-back meetings, make an effort when it comes to your appearance, just don’t go over the top.
Brush your hair, adjust your outfit to make sure it’s fitting properly throughout the day, chew on gum for fresh breath, pluck your eyebrows, iron out those crinkles on your shirt, and put some effort into dressing smartly and for the occasion.

28. Spice up your wardrobe
New clothes will certainly mean a sexy new you if you opt for a brand-new style. Don’t be afraid to play around with unfamiliar colors, fabrics, and styles.
If fashion is not your forte, bring a friend with you and get a second opinion. Or, if you are able to, engage the services of a personal shopper.
However, if you can’t afford a brand-new wardrobe, settle for several new pieces that you can mix and match with your existing clothes. Slowly build your closet up this way and start purging it of stuff that does not flatter your new look.

Being sexy is not just about looking great. What comes out of your mouth counts for plenty, too. No one wants to spend time with people who have nothing of value to say.

Deep down, you know what’s sexy to you.
36. Ditch those who don’t support you
If you’re around people that aren’t inspiring but rather making you feel more insecure, well, ditch them. Yeah, we know, they’re your friends but you don’t actually need them. You’ll make new ones, trust us.
