Opposite of "sexy clothes" [closed]
What would be the opposite of "sexy clothes", as in "clothes that hide sexual bits" ? Like for a woman, a top that would hide and make her breasts much less pronounced?
Thanks in advance.
OED
Modest
(of a woman) dressing or behaving so as to avoid impropriety or indecency, especially to avoid attracting sexual attention.
‘the modest women wear long-sleeved dresses and all but cover their faces’
I think modest clothing conveys the meaning you're looking for.
Frumpy
Defined by Merriam-Webster as:
dowdy, drab
and perhaps more relevantly by the Urban Dictionary as:
A female with lack of concern for appearance. Often characterized by sweatpants, frizzy hair, gramma panties and a paisty complexion.
Demure defined by the OED as
(of a woman or her behaviour) reserved, modest, and shy.
(of clothing) lending a modest appearance.
is a suitable antonym for "sexy".
Interestingly, however, the Collins online dictionary includes the suggestion that demure clothing and actions can be adopted to increase attractiveness in this entry:
If you describe someone, usually a young woman, as demure, you mean they are quiet and rather shy, usually in a way that you like and find appealing,
She's very demure and sweet. The luscious Miss Wharton gave me a demure but knowing smile.
Wholesome 2. Conducive to or promoting social or moral well-being, especially in reflecting conventional moral values: wholesome entertainment; a politician with a wholesome public image.
and/or
Conservative
If you are conservative in your appearance, you usually do not like fashionable or modern clothes or hairstyles: He's a very conservative dresser - he always looks like he's wearing his father's clothes!
