A strapless dress might well be the sexiest of all the options available, mainly because it shows more skin than any other dress. No dress can offer such a teasing glimpse of décolletage while still having a feeling of class and glamour about it.
The length of the skirt on a strapless dress makes a big difference in how the dress will be perceived. From floor length evening gowns to the shortest miniskirts, there is a wide variety to the length of the skirt. The type of skirt makes a difference too! A strapless dress with a wide skirt gives a very retro 1950's flair, while a tight miniskirt is as sexy as it comes and reminiscent of the 1980's.
There are various types of strapless options for the top of a dress. The necklines can be straight across, such as a bandeau or tube top dress, or can have curves such as those found in a sweetheart neckline. This type of neckline takes its name from the heart shape created by two soft curves rising along the bustline. Not all strapless dresses are tight on top, but the bustline is generally fitted enough to keep the dress up.
Speaking of keeping the dress up, bear in mind when wearing a strapless dress that a proper fit and proper support from a good bra are essential to ensuring the dress both stays in place and looks good. You don't want to spend your entire evening pulling your dress up and adjusting the top. Make sure that your bra gives good lift, ensuring the dress doesn't pull down on the bust. Also make sure the dress is not too loose; but also not too tight, as this can cause unattractive bulging.
A strapless dress can be worn alone or with an accent on top such as a shrug, a scarf or simply just some jewelry. Because the entire neckline is open, flashy pieces of jewelry are a great choice with a strapless dress. Large stones or glittering diamonds will go with just about any strapless dress.
The nature of the dress also lends itself well to hair worn loose on the shoulders, but an updo can also enhance your neck and show off that jewelry beautifully. When choosing a strapless dress, beware of tan lines! If you plan to wear strapless options often, it's a good idea to choose a bandeau top swimsuit as well so that you won't have tan lines from the straps. Enhance your shoulders with a light bronzer or shimmering powder.
Because strapless dresses exude sex appeal and glamour, they pair well with strappy stilettos or also with classic pumps. Choose shoes that will match the type of strapless dress; long evening gowns call for simply and elegant, while short sexy options demand something a little more flamboyant.
