When you’re stuck in a trackies-wearing, top-knot-sporting rut, it’s hard to feel sexy. If you’re well on your way to slump city, it’s time to put a little effort into making yourself look great and feel confident again. These beauty-ful tips will give you the boost you need…
Invest in a new fragrance
A head-turning perfume has the power to transform a woman. If you’ve been spritzing the same one for a while, think about switching it up. Nothing will surprise your partner more than the trace of a new scent on your skin. If you dare, try a men’s one on for size.

Up your lip game
Dark lipsticks are a sure-fire way to give your look a bold, mysterious and undoubtedly sexy edge. So go on, head over to the dark side. Team your lippie with side-swept locks and long, fluttery lashes. #swoon

Go red
Lips, nails, hair… Take your pick, and coat it in red. Experts say it’s an arousing colour that gets the blood pumping. Why not test that theory? (And let us know how it turns out!)

Reach for new heights
It’s no secret; sneakers are comfy, but they’re far from sexy. To instantly amp up your look, pop on a pair of leg-lengthening heels. Sure, they hurt a little, but no pain, no gain, right? Plus, we bet you’ll want to preen yourself to perfection to match your footwear – that’s bonus beauty points right there.

Heat up the footpath
Trade in your old uni tee and bike shorts for proper gym-bunny gear – like flattering tights and a snug, brightly coloured tank. When you look good, you feel good – so updating that workout wardrobe will motivate you to hit the pavement for longer. And as Elle Woods said, endorphins make you happy!

Aim for va-va-volume
You know what they say: bigger is better. Ditch the tired pony and use hot rollers to give your hair some life and volume. Instant sexiness.

Bat your lashes
Long, dark lashes have the ability to make you feel like a million bucks. If you’ve never tried falsies before, I urge you to give them a go. They’ll open your eyes, and people will notice. In a big way.

What do you do to feel sexy?
Sometimes dressing up, doing hair and makeup and definitely perfume can bring that sexy back.
Basically be yourself and enjoy being sexy
Personally, it’s fragrance and in particular a new fragrance.
