A formfitting skirt or jersey tee can be surprisingly sensuous when you've got an honest-to-God female body to show off. The pinstriped skirt ($695) and floral silk shirt ($1,050), unbuttoned for a glimpse of black lace bra, (left), are "very 'sexy secretary,'" Julia says. "I would totally wear this to work." Earrings, Irene Neuwirth. Belt, Hobo International. Shoes, Stuart Weitzman This silk satin skirt ($1,050), (right), has stitched-down pleats (the slimming kind); a crepe-knit top ($775) is stabilizing for the well-endowed because the dense material "makes you feel like you have another layer of support," says account executive Ida Schaefer, 27. Black with burgundy is a nearly monochromatic pairing that ensures a sleek, continuous line. Necklace, Ron Hami |
