In Japanese culture, the nape of the neck (or the unaji in Japanese) is considered one of the most attractive features of the female figure. This stems from traditional geisha attire, exposing only the hands, face and neck. Geisha regalia consist of a kimono that dips slightly in the back exposing the erotic area between the hairline and back.

Get in touch with your inner Geisha. Draw attention to the nape of your neck by dressing it up with a silk scarf. This timeless accessory has symbolized femininity, beauty and elegance since the late 1920s.

Hermes popularized the silk scarf in 1928 and today, a Hermes scarf is sold somewhere in the world every 25 seconds. Classic beauties like Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn and Jacqueline Bouvier Onassis were known for sporting this timeless piece.

Try this Hermes scarf on for size paired with a strapless cocktail dress or any other frock that displays your collar bone to help you achieve understated sexiness. Halfway through the night, when it becomes a little warmer, remove the scarf everyone has been eyeing all evening and unveil the essence of your femininity: the nape of the neck.
