I'm sure you can think of instances in which you have seen another female and she seemed to have it all togetherher clothes fit just perfect and went together so well (we can only imagine her lingerie underneath was just as coordinated). And then there is the flip sideblack thong under white pants or panty lines so visible it leaves little to the imagination. How many times will we pick up a copy of Glamour magazine and see the poor souls with the black rectangle across their eyes, which by the way is hardly an effective disguise. To make sure you never end up on the "don't" section of one of these magazines or anywhere else for that matter, follow these simple, basic lingerie rules.
- NEVER wear black garments under white clothesunless of course someone has dared you to make the top of the "don't" list.
- Wear lingerie that is very tight, sheer, or white as outerwear.
- Wear a thick seamed bra or panty with close fitting garments.
- Go without a bra or wear a lingerie garment that doesn't have sewn in support if you are a "C" cup or greater.
- Squeeze into a lingerie outfit just because you like it, it was on sale, or it was the only size left.
- Wear sizes that are too large for you just because you are full figured.
- Omit shapewear due to pride.
- Buy only inexpensive lingerie. Some of the best quality and comfortable pieces may cost a bit more but are well worth it.
The Do's
- Have at least two each of bras and panties in a nude color.
- Match the color of your lingerie as closely as possible to your outfit.
- Chose conservative, sexy, and lacy items that are appropriate for outerwear or allow bits of lace to peak over or around your garments (we're not talking the triangle top to your thong peeking out the top of your jeans).
- Choose the correct bra to go under a tank top, halter top, or strapless top.
- When wearing a spaghetti-strapped top or dress, wear a bra with straps that match the garment.
- Wear nipple covers when wearing thin shirts without a bra.
- Go for something in a pretty print or color that is sexy.
- Wear shapewear if needed under your clothes.
- Wear ultrasheer pantyhose that match your skin tone for a nude look.
- Wear lingerie even if no one else will see it.
Ending up on the lingerie "don't" list may not be the worst thing that can happen, I'm sure one can think of much worse. All we have to do is watch the news or turn on the radio for a brief moment to be reminded how fortunate we are to even worry about things like lingerie do's and don'ts. However, having said that, why even risk it? It is so simple to avoid with these few tips and now you can focus on much more important agendas!
