Hole in One

Wearing tanks and short-sleeves can feel wrong in winter (and downright chilly.) This pick’s done the impossible: the coverage of a long-sleeve, with delicate cut-outs that show those arm muscles you’ve been working on all year. Parker Angel-Sleeve Silk Top, $185; saksfifthavenue.com

Basic Back

Sexy doesn’t mean skintight. This loose, draped fit is perfect for framing feminine shoulder blades. Alice + Olivia Velvet Shawl Back Dolman Top, $198; shopbop.com

Criss Cross Cut

Think your shoulder’s are sexiest? Show them off with this inverted halter. Ann Taylor Cut-In Top, $48; anntaylor.com

The Right Stuff

A just right v-neck and sumptuous silk are what makes this top date-night drool-worthy. DVF Cahil Blouse, $225; saksfifthavenue.com

Not-So-Basic Blouse

Everyone loves a sexy secretary blouse, and the long tie on this one practically screams, "un-tie me!" Tibi Genevieve top, $275; revolveclothing.com

Knit Twit

Wondering "how’d that sweater get here?" Just think of channeling Bridget Bardot-a slightly mussed ‘do and a cigarette leg jean will do the trick. DVF Vivianna Sweater, $425.00; dvf.com

Cap It Off

Kind of a cap sleeve, kind of not, this blouse is a sexier (and more luxurious) twist on a basic t-shirt. J.Crew Draped sleeve blouse, $148.00; jcrew.com

Dapper Draping

Newsflash: Draping can be sexy! Steer away from high necklines to avoid your figure getting lost in all that fabric. A peek of collarbone is refreshing-and seductive. Gap Crossover dolman blouse, $50; gap.com

Hot Shot

A simple tank gets a sexy make-over with a spaghetti-thin halter neckline. Ann Taylor Metallic Halter Top, $88; anntaylor.com

Lace Up

Black lace is a quick way to make any look less demure. We love the way these full bell sleeves add an eccentric twist. Tory Burch Sabine Top, $395; toryburch.com

Cold Shoulder

The dramatic silhouette of a one-shoulder top is really emphasized when the one sleeve is a long one. Tibi One-shoulder silk-satin blouse, $310; net-a-porter.com *Tired of the cold weather and in need of a serious pick-me-up? Try MORE’s picks for injecting color into your winter wardrobe.*
