How to Dress: Your Complete Style Guide for Every Occasion

Sexy Seventies

Cardigans aren’t the only way to layer on a cold day! Keep the focus on your foxy silhouette by wearing a sassy dress over a fitted polo neck. This is your sexy Seventies look – with knee-high boots and a long necklace over the polo neck!

You can wear your favourite summer dress all year round by adding layers underneath!

Gok’s sneaky style tip

Open-toed shoes don’t need to be saved for summer – they look foxy worn with opaque tights or long socks.

Cardi-coat Queen

A big chunky knit is a great alternative to a coat, because it becomes part of your outfit rather than just covering it up! You can still show off your dress by belting a ‘cardi-coat’ open, and revealing just a column of what’s underneath makes your silhouette appear super-slim. All eyes will be on you, my foxy lady!

It’s easier to cinch in the waist of a cardigan with a leather belt than a knitted one, and a contrasting colour will focus eyes on your waist.

Fit Bird

You can pile on those layers without adding bulk to your beautiful booty! With an outfit like this, you can still keep all eyes on your weeny waist. A cardigan jacket with a fitted hem, a wide skirt with a figure-hugging waistband and a bold, cinching belt all show off that awesome hourglass you got going on!

For those days when you’re in between a coat and a jacket, a loose, short-sleeved cardigan makes a fashion-savvy solution.

Jackets & Coats

Biker Babe

The leather biker jacket is another modern design classic you’ll have in your wardrobe for years. But you don’t always have to wear it with denim. It can also give a tough urban edge to your sexy Saturday-night dress, without covering it up. Wear with bright flats for a super-sexy finish.

Three-quarter sleeves add a laid-back casual look to a leather jacket.

All-weather Chic

Is there anything sexier than a curvy woman in a classic trench coat? This coat will keep you looking cool whatever the weather throws at you. Belt it across your slimmest part to keep you looking super-toned in all weathers, or keep it open and cinched at the back to reveal what’s underneath.

Add foxy confidence to a trench coat by turning up that collar.

Eurotrash Jacket

Honey, it’s time to join the jet set! A smart blazer will instantly give slim jeans and simple flat pumps a ‘grown-up’ European look. A blazer cut shorter and narrower than a suit jacket is the perfect light cover-up for the summer, and looks fabulously sexy. Roll up those sleeves for an even more confident look.

A neck scarf in a pretty colour can soften skinny tailoring.

Disco Cool

High-waisted flares are your chance to be one of Charlie’s Angels! Worn with stacked platform heels your legs will look like they go on for ever! A cropped jacket will show off that higher waist and get the full length of those lovely leggy limbs! Don’t be afraid to go all-out retro by adding timeless classics.

A tan leather bomber like this is one thing that gets better with age!

Denim

Sassy Stripes

The all-time classic, boot-cut jean is every girl’s best friend. This is a wear-with-anything jean for those days when you just want a simple classic style. A cut like this works best in darker denim, and a little faded wear on the thighs will draw the eye in and make those pins seem super-skinny.

A cute stripey vest top and jeans is a timelessly classic combination.

Navy lady

Wide-legged sailor pants look so stylish right now! Cut straight down from your widest point to the floor, these are super-flattering with heels or flats. Make sure the waistband is just tight enough, so that the back is snug around that gorgeous bum of yours.

Wide-legged jeans also look casual cool with little pumps.

Skinny jeans

The vest and skinny jeans combo is your ultimate rock-chick look. Wear with flat footwear like ballet pumps for a casual, sexy finish. Jeans like these have elastic in with the denim so they hug those hips and never get saggy. A crazy, retro pattern top will distract from any midriff issues!

Pinstripe skinnies will elongate and slim your legs even more!

Accessories

Accessories are a great way to alter the look of your wardrobe staples in a matter of moments. In fact, add a basics outfit to the accessories shown here and you’ve got a capsule wardrobe in itself!
