Yeah, bra straps showing from under a blouse...that's sexy...not!<BR><BR>That's just trailer trash!<BR><BR>US<BR><BR>PS Sexy is the woman herself not the clothes. My wife in jeans and sweatshirt is sexier than some slut wannabe walking down the streets of Paris because my wife has looks, substance soul and class!

So true, Uncle Sam!

Yesssssss, Nigella gets into her work, she makes the most sensual food.<BR><BR>Uncle Sam, can't you for once tone down the voice and adjust the anger controls. It's all for fun - your take no prisoner postings seem out of step. Are you a big or small man, Sam? They say the small ones are always pissed about something. Give us a hat size, brim, while you're at it. I feel a laugh gathering.

Sam ,Sam ,Sam,must you ? <BR>It is nice to know that you admire and love your wife,but to refer to other women that you do not know and have not even seen as "sluts" only reflects badly on you.<BR>Try to be a little more of a gentleman,there must be some left there in Texas,no?

I agree, tone it down Sam. You got a little too upset comparing your wife to other women, are you over compensating for something? I am sure she is comfortable and sexy, but be a gentleman, ok?<BR><BR>Leanore, wear those new see through blouses with a tank top underneath. Classy but sexy too. I am assuming that you are over the bra strap, navel piercing age, too.

Lolita,<BR><BR>6:3 190<BR><BR>Lola,<BR><BR>Not impugning all women, only the ones that dress like sluts..the problem is that women often confuse sexy with trampy and there is a difference!<BR><BR>US

Don't worry European, Uncle Sam doesn't curse...check all the posts if you want proof.<BR><BR>US

In all my travels to Europe, I have never seen a woman dressed like "a slut" who wasn't a prositute or the like. The regular tourist from any country does not dress "slutty" on any account. <BR>Maybe you mean the topless ones on the beach? It is a part of their culture.<BR><BR>Sexy is in attitude and in dress, so I say go for it, ladies. Why not?

Ruth,<BR><BR>and you know this...how?<BR><BR>US

Sam:<BR><BR>6'0" & 190 & my doctor is gonna kill me if I don't get it down to 180. And even in that weakened state, I'd still kick your ass! Mostly for sending us that all hat, no cattle bumpkin from Crawford. And 'cause my daddy named me Lolita!<BR><BR>Grrrrr, and just when I was getting so good with my soft side.

I hate to see you hijack this thread, Sam, but I don't know what you are referring to. I know what? I know what I know. Now leave this thread to the ladies. We don't need any men putting us down here.

Hi all, checking in again, let's try to keep politics and whore/madonna fixations out of this. <BR>I like the jeans, white shirt, leather idea, I might bring my jeans after all. I used to wear that outfit with a black cashmire blazer, is that look still in?

Sure, no problem, Leonore. But try to remember the Italian loafers...<BR><BR>And bring the umbrella! It's cold and rainy in most parts of central Europe NOW, in the middle of summer! You'll be fine with that outfit. <BR>Class does not disappear within a single fashion season.

Europeangirl, I haven't been to Europe in a few years, so I feel kind of out of the loop. Which brand of loafers would you suggest? Should I wait and buy them in Rome or in the US? I live in Los Angeles area.<BR><BR>

Ruth,<BR><BR>I'm sorry. I didn't realize this thread was exclusively for the "girls". <BR><BR>I mean what would a man know about what makes a woman sexy after all.<BR><BR>US

You just didn't add any information really. Just how wonderful your wife is, no practical advice, just attitude coming from you.

"Yeah, bra straps showing from under a blouse...that's sexy...not!<BR><BR>That's just trailer trash!"<BR><BR>Ruth,<BR><BR>Sorry, I thought that was information.<BR><BR>BTW, if you want some more information.... A very sexy look is a pair of black or dark grey linen slacks, a nice dressy linen white blouse, with a white lacy, sexy bra underneath and with the top button or two undone with just a glimpse of .....with a strand of pearls.<BR><BR>But what would I know?<BR><BR>US<BR>

OK, Sam, calm down, relax. I like your suggestion, thanks. It is nice to have a man's point of view, because that is who (for whom?) we want to be sexy (for), right? My grammer is off today, but you get the idea.<BR>Any more male ideas? (I don't think many of the male Fodorites are reading down this far on a clothes thread)

Leanore,<BR><BR>Thank you but Ruth was right, I was just stirring it up a bit.<BR><BR>Sorry, <BR><BR>US

Merde*!*!* You can't go anywhere anymore without "Uncle Sam" butting in. This was such a fun thread before his appearance.<BR><BR>My comment about peaking out bra straps is that it IS a LOCAL & EUROPEAN look (not one I necessarily understand but...) I said it would help you look "local" I did not judge it "sexy" or not.<BR><BR>Anyone who has spent time in Europe (or Mexico) would understand what I was referring to.

I just saw my linen in Europe question come up again, so my suggestion is wear a nice sexy linen outfit with some nice jewelry and a scarf. You will be cool too.

Uncle Sam from TX? I thought he was from WV.

I am glad that Uncle Sam finds his wife attractive, that he has given us his version of what he finds attractive on others, and what he finds slutty, and has humored us by "stirring up the pot" and speaking about himself in the third person. <BR><BR>Now can it be somebody else's turn? Please?

Texas.WV-maybe he is just from 1950!

OK xxx :O)<BR><BR>Pup loves it when his mama wears all black.Pup is brown you see and he looks good with black.Pup also loves it when mamas skirt has one of those slits in it so her legs peep out when she walks.Pup notices that all the other pups look too.<BR>She likes to wear boots all the way to her knees when she wears that skirt.<BR>Pup likes ladies that pet him.<BR>

Does every thread have to be turned into a discussion of U. Sam? He jumps on threads and ruins them and then people write hate messages to him and then the thread gets deleted.<BR>Create your own thread, Sam, and quit ruining others.

Thread's not just for girls/ladies, but for intelligent conversation. Unfortunately "Uncle Sam" is not capable of this, but it does not stop him.<BR><BR>

Go away Sam,<BR><BR>I'd suggest to you that this is "intelligent" conversation.<BR><BR>"BTW, if you want some more information.... A very sexy look is a pair of black or dark grey linen slacks, a nice dressy linen white blouse, with a white lacy, sexy bra underneath and with the top button or two undone with just a glimpse of .....with a strand of pearls."<BR><BR>And BTW, if you ladies are offended by anything I've said on this thread then you have a very, very low tolerance level...grow up!<BR><BR>US

<BR>Leanore said it. Uncle Sam calling women who dress sexy "sluts" is representative of the classic madonna/whore dichotomy that, sadly, still exists among many conservative men (and women).<BR><BR>It's all relative too. In countries with people who are even more conservative, I'm sure women are considered "sluts" if their bodies and faces are not entirely covered. <BR>

xxx,<BR><BR>Give it a rest. You misquoted me, I said there is a difference between sexy and trampy.<BR><BR>Wouldn't it be nice if you would think before you post!<BR><BR>US<BR><BR>BTW, the way you never miss a chance to attack a conservative do you! Nice, trying to compare an American conservative to a fanatic from the midle east...nice try!

Will somerone drown this pup , it's starting to make Uncle Sam look good, <BR>Rex more intelligent, and Laura likable.

<BR>Uncle Sam, I think it's rather childish to call women who dress how you think inappropriate as "sluts" and then whine about being "attacked" when someone calls you on it.

<BR>I will gladly point it out for you. You wrote "Not impugning all women, only the ones that dress like sluts".<BR><BR>I would suggest you learn to read, and understand, your own writing.

Semantics...I never said what was appropriate and who was dressed like a slut.<BR><BR>BYW, you probably know who is and isn't as well as I do!<BR><BR>Give it a rest!<BR><BR>US

slutty=too high heels, cheeks hanging out of shorts, pants so tight , you can see the outline of her pudenda. Top cut so low that breasts ask to be sucked,skirt so tight her panties pop through, any one to add more???

ttt

I think we guys all hate ankle bracelets, dangling earrings, flashy colors.

Like one of the above posters said, how many tourist women go on a trip to Europe dressed as sluts? If you will read this board you will see that comfort is a priority among the posters here. <BR>Leanore wants to add a little sex appeal to her traveling wardrobe, if she wanted to know what kind of baseball hat to wear you would still flame her.<BR>Sexy and slut do not mean the same thing.

Last time I checked this forum Uncle Sam was saying that he leabes this forum for good... Glad to see him back.<BR>Definition of sexy depends on what is your goal: do you want Sam to consder you a proper gal, or that hot guy with tatoo give you a look. Then again Uncle Sam should now by now, that there is a big difference between woman dress and appearance. I knew woman, who dressed very conservative, but behaved as Samantha.<BR>Personally, I think that you can look very sexy in jeans, especially with right top. I have this stretch Versace jeans, which are amazingly comfortable and very sexy. Not being a big fan of bra straps, still I had to note, that if it is nice lingerie of matching color, it is not a big deal, if it might flash from time to time.<BR>As for shoes - I became recently a Prada convert. The most comfortable shoes I ever wore and cost every cent of this undecent amount of money I paid for them. But NEVER, NEVER, NEVER wear heels higher than 1&1/2 inch!!!
