When someone hears the word sexy, the clothing that most likely comes to mind are tight, skin-baring items that show off curves or involve deep cuts. Because of this, this Fashionista surprised me when she explained that she thought her maxi dress to be sexy. After talking to her about it some more, she helped me understand how her maxi accomplishes to be sexy.
To start, the floral pattern on her dress is not only perfect for summer, but it is also very feminine. Men also wear clothing with floral patterns on it, so what is it that makes this one particularly feminine? It is the size and colors. When men wear florals, for the most part, they are small and repetitive. On the other hand, florals on women’s clothing, although repetitive, often involve bigger prints. The print on her dress proves this to be true and adds to the femininity by using bright colors.
Although her loose dress may seem to steer away from the sexy descriptor, it adds to it. In this occasion, the long dress hides her curves and leaves them to the imagination. The slit on the side of her dress only adds to this idea by playing with the way her dress flows in the wind and with each step.
To finish the look, this Fashionista accessorized with a practical cross-body bag and kept her floral motif by wearing floral sandals.
