I want to look good naked. Suggestions?

What are some tips for looking better with your clothes off? I'm open to any suggestions. I'm not out of shape, and I eat right, but I really want to tone up.

I suppose if you want to do research on it, you could start with watching every episode of "How to Look Good Naked" (http://howtolookgoodnaked.com/) Who wouldn't want to take advice from a man named Gok. In the U.S., we have good old Carson Kressly to host. Do gay men host naked women shows because the women will fell less threatened or because they have better fashion sense? I guess the theory is if you look and feel good with the right clothes on then that should transcend to when you are naked.

In a blog post by Margaret Cho, she says that she took up dancing naked for a few years and then had herself photographed by a professional photographer. (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/margaret-cho/how-to-look-good-naked_b_84961.html).

The key might be practice. We are so often only naked while alone or with our significant other. Since they say practice makes perfect, I'm guessing with practice being naked, you really get used to it and it probably doesn't bother you anymore. I think the two things that the tv show and the blog post have in common is that by having other people see you naked and comment positively, then you gain the confidence in being naked and it's a cycle from there.

It looks like those shows are always looking for contestants, you can try that. Or you can just do like Cho and start dancing naked (though she doesn't mention if it was in front of others or not).

Finally, if you want to really practice being naked in front of other people and not get arrest for indecent exposure, art schools are always looking for naked models, and you get paid too.

Well, if you're in good shape and the person you're naked for is interested in you sexually, trust me you're going to look good naked. Keep in mind though that your own perception can often alter how others see you. If you look in the mirror and like what you see and have confidence in your appearance you likely will radiate that confidence to your viewer.

So I'd say tip one for looking good naked: Believe you do and be confident in yourself. All slumped over, hiding and begging to have the lights turned off... isn't all that hot.

Tip number two you claim to have covered. Be in good shape. You don't need to be model attractive but a person who cares about their appearance showers, works out, just takes care of their body in general tends to look better undressed than the couch potato who forgets to bathe.

Other than that I'd say attraction varies by person, it's more about making sure you've got the right person looking at your naked than how you actually look. :)

One last note... never leave black socks on. lol

I thought someone would have beat me to this answer, but spray tans do wonders! Not the ugly orange ones you see on celebrities, but an actual airbrush tan applied by a professional. The booths can't ever to as high quality a job as a live person can. They know exactly what areas should be lighter or darker, and can even use the airbrush creatively to add the illusion of definition and slimness to your stomach, legs and other areas.

People in general often define "look good" as "sudden improvement". I can't think of another way to look better, faster.

Everyone has a birthday suit. Some are fitted, some are baggy, and some need ironing. Once you realize the world is not wall-to-wall supermodels, you will begin to relax and enjoy the freedom that comes with being nude. BTW, being naked also takes the fashion show out of the equation and people have to be interesting on their own.

Hi, you see, to me be naked is the most natural way to be, and its not about changing your body, its about apreaciating it. Try to spend some time by yourself without clothes and without a mirror, get used to the feeling!
Everyday before you take a shower take sometime naked in front of a mirror, and after the shower rub some baby oil on your body.
Getting a tan can help you look a lil more toned and for the real thing, pilates are the best.

I like the exercise ball. You can do every kind of exercise for any part of your body with a cheap blow up ball. I particularly like using it for crunches, you kinda lay on the ball and crunch your abs. It's easier to park your feet up to a wall if you have a problem balancing on it (as I did).

I don't have any problem being naked. Of course I always wish I had more here or less there (as all women I would speculate) but I think at some point we have to decide that this is what we have and just be happy.

Starla,
As a photographer who regularly photographs real women in a state of undress, I can say that the whole process has been unanimously reported by my clients as a great way to feel good about themselves. Nobody is perfect. I mean NOBODY, but lots of people are hung up about achieving perfection. Feel good in your skin, whatever state you think you are in. Once ready, I recommend you have yourself photographed by someone you can trust and feel comfortable with. If curious, or if you need ideas, you could view my website www.dontwelookgoodnaked.com

I find it interesting that just about everyone is assuming starla (the asker) is female and geared their answer that way. One tip, if you're a guy, starla: make sure the room isn't too cold! (THAT tip may go the opposite way if you're female.)

Love the video, by the way!

It sounds to me like your focus is on wanting to tone up. Pilates. Pilates are where it's at nowadays, for toning up. You can find a class near you, or you can get a DVD and do the pilates at home.
