9 Styles That Drive Men Wild

Originally designed for men, boy shorts look far better on women. They're sexy, flattering and sporty—and they don’t make you look like a can-can dancer, like the satin and frills of traditional lingerie.

When we think of men in tuxedos, we often think of the patrician stiffness of Downton Abbey. When a woman wears it, she's turning the power structure upside down. The look is strong and fearless yet sleek and feminine. It's a huge turn on when a women succeeds in beating us at our own game.

Mad Men has reminded us of the beauty of longer hemlines—a nice antidote to the gradual encroachment of casual Friday into every other day of the week. The pencil skirt is graceful, stylish and it highlights everything we love about the curves of a woman.

In L.A.'s constant gridlock, there's been at least one positive development: young women on Vespas, wearing fitted leather jackets and helmets, zipping between cars on their morning commute. They're like motorized angels. It's defiant, chic, and it makes me wish I were sitting in a café in Rome—with a girl who arrived on a Vespa.

As much as we love it when a woman gets all gussied up, we also like it when she looks like she just rolled out of bed (excluding sweatpants). An oversize sweater is best worn with tousled hair, maybe a pair of ragged boyfriend jeans.

Here's a case where dirty laundry works in your favor: You end up wearing a bikini top under a T-shirt because nothing else is clean. A flash of floral color under a bright white tee says you're always ready for the beach. You know, like people who live in Rio de Janeiro.

Chunky, tough and OK if they're a little scuffed. The masculinity of motorcycle boots throws femininity into bold relief. And they make me think of Nancy Sinatra belting out These Boots Are Made for Walkin'.

It could be one exposed shoulder or two—your choice! Halter dresses, tube dresses, slouchy sweaters, bare shoulders are sexy and more subtle than showing off a lot of cleavage.
