How do you add instant sex appeal to any look, without resorting to baring it all in public? Conspicuously flaunting the goods is so passe, so why not indulge in a less obvious form of seduction. Channel your inner Ava Gardner and add a saucy animal print to your ensemble.

Just a touch of sultry leopard or slinky zebra makes any outfit look a little more daring, without baring an inch more skin. Want a touch more attention? Opt for a head to toe animal print and a knowing smirk on your face. Trust me, heads will turn.

Although animal prints are considered "trendy" of late, they are actually one of the true classic wardrobe choices. Animal print has been the go to fabric for instant sex appeal for decades or longer. See the Ava Gardner reference above for proof: how else could you make a full-cut, one piece swimsuit look so smoking hot?

Want to invest in an animal print dress that you will wear for years and years to come? The brand new Roberto Cavalli Leopard Print Dress (top right) is purrrfect. This knee-length, halter wonder is slinky and sexy, yet completely classy.

Zebra more your style? The Diane von Furstenberg "Julian" Mini Wrap Dress is as hot as it comes. To create this new classic, the hem of the iconic wrap dress was shortened while the v-neck was deepened. The result is simply stunning.
