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.
