Sexy secretaries, naughty nurses, cuff-confining coppers on a mission to uphold the law…

We may never truly understand all of the reasons as to why greedy male minds seem to gravitate, much less salivate, over these minxy alter egos. What we do know? If there’s one cheeky costume that tops the list, then you can safely put both your money and your libido on the ever-classic and oh-so-sexy French maid outfits.

So what is it about French maid outfits that can get a man’s blood rushing? Well, aside from it being the epitome of a Domestic Goddess, which any man could and will appreciate, French maid outfits are likely one of the most versatile and complementing costumes that a woman can wear–no matter their age, size, race, or overall demeanor. The real question is: what’s not to drive a man insane when it comes to French maid outfits?

French maid outfits encompass virtually every man’s idea for visual eye candy that’s all rolled up into one: the burlesque-styled bodice; the high-heeled shoes; the stocking-clad legs that may go on forever, or that simply end with just a hint of the skin peeking beneath a tantalizingly short skirt that’s just itching to be hiked up. Then there’s the often prim and proper hair, all piled up neatly in a bun, begging to be undone while you both work toward doing the same.

While not only finding French maid outfits to be visually stimulating, many men find them to be psychologically stimulating as well. Why? All around the world, French maid outfits universally symbolize that of conservative and proper, even innocent, meeting that of sultry and seductive. In many ways she embodies someone of mystery–someone a man is not supposed to touch, despite wanting to, but very well could if he had a mind for it. With French maid outfits, there is a slight sense of risk, power, and overall naughtiness. Should one play their cards right, they could have a man not only salivating, but weak at the knees.

Thinking about giving it a try? Then here are few simple tips to consider for French maid outfits:

1. French maid outfits do best with simple high-heeled shoes. Try for something that accentuates the legs and derrière, and try to avoid chunky or gaudy-looking.

2. Unless your partner prefers more adventurous, bare-all types of clothing to get the blood boiling, consider going for sexy yet elegant. Try pinning the hair up into a bun and opt for sheer, or even back-seamed, stockings. Think of burlesque or French, as there is reason why the idea of French maid outfits have managed to entice throughout the ages.

3. While it may seem insignificant, make sure you have a proper and decent-looking feather duster. A guy could be hard-pressed to take you seriously if you’re brandishing a duster that looks like an amputated cat’s tail or some synthetic plastic bit, all while trying to give him come-hither eyes.

4. Have fun with it! Tease, taunt, make a game out of it, and you could be in for hours of fun that you’ll both remember for years to come.
