Décolletage
Most people may not recognize this term—so don’t feel bad if this includes you!—but it is the area from your neck past your collarbone down to where your chest begins. It’s French derived from the word décolleter, meaning ‘to expose the neck’. Despite any hang-ups you may have about any other area of your body, the décolletage is the one area that looks flawless on all women.
Why Men Like It
Men like it when you show skin, and believe it or not they dig it when you show skin but keep it classy too. The neck is an erogenous area that oozes sensuality—a little goes a long way.
How To Flaunt It
Bring attention to your face with a swoop-neck blouse or t-shirt knit top.
Waist
We can hate ‘em for it, but as confident females who love our bodies, we’re going to embrace the fact that men are visual creatures who react to shapes, sizes and lines more than anything. All that means is that if you want to get a man to stare at you from across the room and make his way over to you, you have to accentuate the waist, loves.
Why Men Like It
When it comes to men it’s not about the numbers as much as it is about proportion. It’s not about how tiny your waist is, but how it is in relation to the rest of your body. What does that mean? Hourglass, bowling pin, Coco-Cola bottle—exactly.
Fit Tip
If you want your waist to appear smaller the easiest area to key in on are your shoulders. Get those pushups in. They’re like that simple pair of black pumps in your closet: classic, understated, and gets the job done—take that how you wish. Other moves to define your shoulders are shoulder presses, row-backs, and pull-ups. In the meantime, fake it until you make it and throw on that perfect black blazer with sharp shoulder pads.
Lower Abs
Yup, there’s a reason why low-rise jeans were a hot trend for so long—and why some still rock ‘em like they’re in.
Why Men Like It
There’s just something dangerous about that strip of skin between your bellybutton and where the top of your jeans begin.
Fit Tip
You lower abdomen, a.k.a your oblique muscles, is definitely one of the most universally common tough areas for us ladies because as women estrogen levels are naturally higher there. But keeping this area smooth is not impossible. We know you want that sexy v-shape so do it this way: walk the plank…or do a move called walking planks. That’s when you go back and forth from holding yourself in push-up position to steadying yourself on your elbows in plank position, alternating your arms each time.
Legs
Long, short—doesn’t matter. Men like curves. And lots of ‘em. Toned, shapely limbs are irresistible to guys.
Why Men Like It
Men see most things in black and white. To them, your limbs are the pathways that lead them to what’s between the spot where they meet. Showing off your legs is sexy, and sometimes dangerous, without going near looking hoochie.
Fit Tip
Want to get killer calves like Ciara or sculpted thighs like Beyoncé? Remember this short formula: S+L=sexy legs! S stands for squats and L stands for lunges. Three sets of each everyday with fifteen reps in each set will do the trick. (Keep in mind that if you want MCB you have to combine strength with cardio. Try jogging at conversation pace for twenty to thirty minutes prior to your sets and for extra calorie burn, throw a pair of three to eight pound hand weights in your hands and work on your shoulders, triceps, and biceps.)
