Steer clear of neons and brights.
Formfitting neon takes a look from ‘08straight to ‘80,stat.Avoid this fashion don’t by sticking to subdued shades.Cream,navy and other classic hues are good options,but if you need of a dose of color,take cues from Cassie and try bold heels or nails.
Belt it,baby.
Afraid that you don't have the curves—or have too many—to pull off this streamlined look?Worry not:Simply cinch a dark-hued belt around your waist before hitting the town.A subtle emphasis at the waist gives all shapes—even boyish bods like Emma Roberts'—a sexy silhouette.
Be (a little)buttoned-up
If you're big-busted,try a skinny dress with a conservative neckline,which prevents the body-conscious look from being too revealing.Sophisticated cuts like those favored by Demi Moore and Ivanka Trump strike the perfect balance between sexy and serious.
Add edgy accents.
To get away with wearing a cocktail frock during daylight hours,try pairing it with a few playful accessories.A fedora like Diane Kruger's or a sporty watch adds a cool,low-key element to any outfit.
Layer with a tailored jacket
Take cues from Rachel Bilson and throw on a tailored blazer over a cocktail dress to put a hip,borrowed-from-the-boys spin on your going-out look.
Let your hair down
Skip the fancy updo when trying to make a flirty frock seem more casual.Instead,wear hair loose and natural àla Vanessa Hudgens for a sweet daytime look.
Leave the flats at home.
A skinny dress that hits below the knee can make legs seem miles long,but only if you pair the sophisticated frock with heels,as demonstrated by Lauren Conrad.
