Women's Underwear and lingerie tips care

While we put so much focus on clothing, most of us don’t often give enough attention to undergarments.  Out of sight doesn’t mean out of style.  We practically live in them!  It’s the intimate apparel that often makes us feel the sexiest.  The ultimate underwear/lingerie has to be both comfortable and fashionable, yet they are not so easy to come by.

Here are some tips on undergarments to help you enhance your best features as well as certain no-no’s to avoid.  Keep this in mind, there is no need for special occasions or the appropriate setting to treat yourself with pretty undergarments – it really is the confidence within that makes us truly beautiful.

    * Beige or nude tones that are closest to your skin tone work best under light clothing (such as a buttoned white shirt) as they become almost invisible.

    * Choose undergarments with a smooth surface when wearing tight clothes, while the fancy embroidery kinds work best under darker and heavier clothing.

    * On average, one in three women wear the wrong size bra (it could be you?).  Although you may have found that perfect fit bra, be sure to tuck in all the right places in order avoid any unsightly bulges.  Pay attention to those underarm/side areas!  The BioFit bra from Victoria’s Secret offers a unique custom-made feel with a lovely uplift.  Or, you can even consult a bra specialist from Zyrra to create a truly custom made bra for you.

    * A sure way to ruin your polished attire is by having panty lines show through.  The best bet is to wear no-lines or seamless panties matching your skin tone.  Even thongs can show the lines so wear with caution.

    * You can wash most undergarments in the washing machine (delicate cycle) but hand washing does prolong the life especially for delicate lingerie.  I use Dr. Bronner’s organic soap to wash most of my undergarments by hand.  Give it a nice soak and gentle rub.  Hang dry.

    * A camisole with a built-in bra top is like wearing a bra + cami together (clever combo!).  They provide support, shaping and extra coverage all at once.  Some camis can pass for a tank top which makes it a nice layering piece as well.  Plus, it’s nice to go without a separate bra in the scorching summer.  Online lingerie shop Simply Yours has a feminine collection of plus size camisole and other gorgeous undergarments for women with curves.  Online shopping is the way to go for a wider variety of sizing options.

    * When in doubt, go for shapewear- a faster, easier alternative to lipo or dieting.  Who can say no to a slimmer, smoother appearance?  There are plenty of shapewear to target different body parts.  In fact, some clothes come with a shaper already built in.

    * Bras & panties don’t necessarily have to match.  Mix it up according to your taste!

    * Always, always wash new underwear before you put them on regardless of the where you buy them, whether they come packaged or not.[workchic.com]
