Victoria Beckham won't dress too provocatively now because she likes to leave "something to the imagination" now.

The pop star-turned-fashion designer has ditched short skirts and tight tops from her wardrobe now because she won't walk around feeling "uncomfortable" just to accentuate her figure.

In an interview with The Daily Telegraph newspaper, she said: "Apart from shoots, I'd never wear something that's short and tight now. Back in the day, I didn't mind feeling a bit uncomfortable. These days it's about leaving something to the imagination. If I wear a shorter dress, I like it to be loose and playful, like this orange dress with a deep ruffle. At 41, my motto is tailored not tight. Loose just seems to exude a much more modern, youthful attitude."

Now she's in her 40s, Victoria has settled on her style and travel essentials but she now has a new item she always packs in her bag when she's flying - a Dynaband elastic exercise device specifically designed to tone your arms.

The former Spice Girl - who is married to David Beckham - revealed: "My essential is my Dynaband. You're going to be baring your arms. Sling this in your case and you can use it to tone your biceps, triceps wherever you are. It's good for legs too."
