With temperatures swiftly rising in the city, we can’t help but reveal some skin. More often than not, we usually opt for something shorter, tighter, or lower necklines. Today, MEGA teaches you how to show skin without looking too over the top (Right, Rihanna and Kendall?) with our sizzling cover stars from the past.

1. SHOW SOME LEG
Coleen Garcia, MEGA April 2017
Unknowingly, the lower halves of our bodies have some seriously sexy attributes. Like Coleen Garcia, show your legs some serious love by choosing skirts with a subtle slit or in asymmetrical cuts and free-flowing fabrics.
2. SHEER TRICKERY
Georgina Wilson, MEGA April 2013
Oh, the wonders of sheer. Its best feature is perfect for flaunting skin while still being all-covered up and modest like what Georgina Wilson did in her April 2013 cover.
3. CALL TO ARMS
Nadine Lustre, MEGA September 2016
The thing about tube dresses is, the silhouette is versatile enough for you to wear it no matter what the season is. Wear it as a stand-alone piece in the breezy summer, then when the cold weather arrives, layer it underneath a turtle neck top or for a more flashy approach, a show-stopping trench coat.

4. BARE YOUR MID-RIFFS
Erich Gonzales, MEGA July 2017
Draw attention to an already accentuated waist by choosing midriff-baring tops with colored contrasts, details on the bottoms’ waist, and a great belt.
5. OWN IT
Arci Muñoz, MEGA April 2016
As a magazine that celebrates strong and empowered women, MEGA April 2016 cover girl Arci dares to bare it all in a statement cut-out piece. Knowing what works for your body is one of the first steps to loving yourself a little more. So go all out and show them what you’ve got.
