What is the sexiest piece of clothing you own and why?

At the London “Erotica” festival a couple years back, I bought a wet-leather-look mini-dress with a cross-laced split that curves across the front. It’s skin-tight. I really should wear it more often, shouldn’t I?

I think it's a tie! Between a pair of black panties I have that lace up at the sides, and a pair of open toed strappy boots. I've actually written both of them into stories! Why? For the panties, I think visually they just look sexy, the fact that skin at the sides is revealed. Plus the idea that you can tug on the laces and the panties will just fall away! For the boots, it's the combination of the straps, which seem very dominant, with the peek of toes at the top. That juxtaposition I find alluring. When I wear them I feel like I'm ready to kick some serious ass! Lol, all five feet of me. ;)

Does my gas mask count?

There's nothing in the world sexier than a corset. The feeling of being cinched into perfect posture, the discomfort, the restricted breathing... it's all a kind of domination. Fashion bondage.

My sweatpants. Because let's be honest, if you're sexy enough, it doesn't matter what you're wearing

A certain pair of pajama pants. They’re red plaid (think Christmas)—doesn’t sound sexy, does it? But come winter, almost every time I put them on, I get attacked (in a good way). So to me they’re the sexiest because I get super lucky in them. Beyond that—nothing—I’m married to a “Very nice—now take it off” man!

I'm embarrassed to admit that my lingerie drawer contains far too many pairs of maternity panties at the moment, but I did make a trip to buy new undies after each of my boys were born. So, my two sexiest pieces of clothing are the hot pink pushup bra I bought about four months after my first baby and these seamless, stretchy almost-not-there panties I recently bought after the second baby. In each case, I was looking for something that was not only a good fit for my post-partum body, but also made me feel sexy and confident in that underneath-my-clothes sort of way.

I used to shy away from backless dresses, but now I've embraced them and one-shouldered dresses. I have a very simple purple backless dress, and by nature of not wearing a bra and showing off almost my entire back, I feel sexy when I wear it simply because I'm showing so much skin, along with the "open" tattoo on my back people don't get to see very often.

I love to wear sexy clothing for my man, so I had to get his help with this question! We narrowed it down to a hot pink teddy and matching thong, or maybe the white crotchless panties that look so innocent (but are so very not), or perhaps the red and black corset. But ultimately, the sexiest clothing I have is a big, comfortable man’s shirt. It comes halfway down my thigh, shows plenty of cleavage, looks casual and sexy at the same time – and he goes wild when I wear it!
