Dress to Seduce


As I post in this month favorite book I'm reading "The Art of Seduction" by Robert Greene, it's an amazing book that shows you how famous people in history have win their power by seducing others. So I think it's interesting to relate this with fashion. It mentions 9 types of seducers (I will be talking about them later) one of them is the Siren, a woman like Cleopatra who gain her power by looking as a Goddess: use as many gold jewelry as you can, also dress like if you were from other world: having a unique and elegant hairstyle and don't forget about the make up. 
Another type is "The Sexual Siren" who will be like Marilyn Monroe a combination of sexuality with innocence. She was an orphan so without any effort people wanted to protect her because she seem needy, but the combination of adventure and innocence was really her power. She had a gorgeous body with more weight than is used this days, but she wasn't fat she had everything in place. Use garments that look childish and feminine but insinuating strong sexuality.

Como puse en el libro favorito del mes, he estado leyendo el libro "El Arte de la Seducción" por Robert Greene. Me encanta este libro porque nos cuenta como personajes famosos ganaron su poder seduciendo a los demás. Así que pensé que es muy interesante relacionarlo con la moda. El libro nos habla acerca de 9 personalidades (de las cuales hablaré después). Uno de los personajes es "La Sirena" perfectamente personificado por Cleopatra. Para tener su estilo no olvides usar mucha joyería dorada, un peinado y maquillaje que sean únicos y elegantes. Su poder venía de que ella se sentía de verdad una Diosa, así que sientete una y reflejalo en tu vestimenta. Otro personaje es la "Sirena Sexual" ejemplificado por Marilyn Monroe, ella era una combinación entre inocencia y sexualidad, lo lograba de manera inconsciente porque era huerfana y era muy necesitada de cariño pero a la vez tenía un cuerpo sexy y voluptuoso (pero jamás gordo, siempre tenía todo en su lugar). Así que si quieres copiar su estilo sólo tienes que usar prendas que sean un poco inocente con un toque atrevido como algún escote.
