The key takeaway: three black Shein evening dresses, designed to awaken the femme fatale that sleeps in each of us. A bustier dress with tulle over the chest, sexy chic enough to make hearts flutter, a classy and understated dress for the holidays, and a third with a gorgeous bust opening but fragile sleeves. Bold sexiness, never vulgar, and my tips for accessorising and getting the make-up just right, because it’s all a matter of balance. To bring out for a festive evening, a New Year’s, or a date where you want to dare.

Let’s admit it, we all have a femme fatale sleeping somewhere, one we rarely let out. These three black evening dresses, I tried them on a little moved, I’m not used to seeing myself in this register, and yet, what a pleasure to dare. We stay in sexy chic, never in the vulgar, because the line is exactly where I like to stand. Let me show them to you, with my ideas for accessorising them, and you’ll tell me whether you would dare to wear them in turn.

The tulle bustier dress, the one that makes hearts flutter

We start strong, with a short bustier dress, trimmed with tulle over the chest, frankly spectacular.

Sexy chic, but to be dosed

I’ll tell you straight, I am quite thrilled by this dress, we’re talking unapologetic sexy chic, the kind to make hearts flutter. For a New Year’s, it’s perfect, for a family Christmas, perhaps a touch too much, except for a date. The trick to soften it, flat ankle boots and tights underneath, which cover the legs and calm things down without losing any of the chic. It’s all a matter of context, and of the pair you team it with.

The secret, balance. A very open dress is often enough on its own. On a beautiful neckline, avoid a necklace that breaks the line, go for fine earrings or a discreet choker instead. Never both at once, the luxury here is restraint.

The classy, understated dress, the elegance of the holidays

On to a more understated dress, just as black, but with a quieter elegance.

Classy and a touch sexy

This one is very pleasant to wear, a real little joy, and it plays the chic-woman card, classy with just the right amount of sensuality. It’s the dress I would recommend to bring a dressy touch to a wardrobe, without going overboard. With a lovely pair of heels, the combo is perfect, and depending on where you dine, it adapts to a festive evening as well as a more intimate night out.

The bust-opening dress, gorgeous but delicate

We finish with a dress with a gorgeous bust opening, whose sleeves can be worn on the shoulder or fall delicately on the arm.

Magnificent, to be handled with care

Let’s be honest, the seams of the sleeves seem a little fragile, so you handle it with care. But the result is superb, classy and sexy at the same time. On the make-up side, I would avoid anything too heavy, a light line on the eyes and a bold lipstick, or the opposite, defined eyes and a discreet mouth. The idea, always the same, find the right dose so it never tips into too much.

My one real fashion tip. I don’t claim to know it all, but if there’s one thing I know, it’s balance. A bold piece, discreet accessories. A daring neckline, light make-up. It’s this dosage, and it alone, that separates elegance from the vulgar.

Daring the femme fatale, with measure

What I loved in this try-on was that permission to play another character for an evening, bolder, more sensual, without ever losing the elegance. These dresses aren’t for every day, and that’s their whole charm, they are saved for the occasions when you feel like making an impression. The references for the three models can be found over in the video, if the urge to dare takes hold of you.

PS. Tell me in the comments, would you dare the tulle bustier dress for a New Year’s… or do you stick with the understated one, more demure but just as formidable?
