Men and Womens Silk Underwear

Men and Womens Silk Underwear

When it comes to buying lingerie you want to eliminate anything that binds or cuts into the skin Most of us want lingerie to make us look as smooth as possible Youre not going to do that with things that are in any way too small When it comes to lingerie buying too small can actually make you look bigger The most important thing to consider when buying lingerie is size especially accurate bra size You want each item to fit properly and to be comfortable Speaking of comfort many women avoid lingerie because they fear it wont be comfortable but there are many options to choose from which provide not only beauty and style but also plenty of comfort
Before buying make sure you know your correct bra size Chances are unless youve been professionally measured youre not wearing the right size If your breasts spill out of the cups into your armpits your cup size is too small

If the strap in the back rides up your bras band strap is too big If your breasts appear to sag in your brassiere then you may need crisscross support stronger straps and or an underwear If the straps dig into your shoulders look for wider straps
You dont have to start out choosing the most daring item of lingerie You can select from gorgeous nightgowns silky robes and satin lounging pajamas There are many different styles available for every preference and mood From long and elegant to short and sexy you can choose something that you and your partner will both find attractive It really depends on taste
If youre looking for bedroom wear what matters most is how glamorous and beautiful they make you feel However if youre looking for plus size panties as foundation garments remember that bikinis are not usually as attractive under clothes as panties that rise all the way to the waistline of whatever youre wearing
If you are shopping in a store make sure you can try on lingerie even if it is over your clothing or undergarments Getting the right fit can be a bit tricky because lingerie tends to run a little on the small side Like it or not you may need to select a larger size Dont feel bad many women do If youre shopping online measure yourself in all the key areas and contact an online retailer for additional sizing information Price is always an issue so shop and compare Competition in the lingerie industry is high so you should be able to find great prices if you shop around for the best deal Why pay more for lingerie if you dont have to especially when online shopping is so convenient Most online lingerie retailers also ship your purchases in discreet packaging so you wont have to worry about privacy

The types of lingerie you will need are largely dependent on the style of your dress and your body shape Some dresses require undergarments that are minimal such as a dress that laces up the back and shows some skin Some women with strapless dresses choose to forego traditional bras altogether choosing coverage in the form of breast petals or adhesive cups To enhance smaller breasts a padded push up bra or bustier can work wonders

Shape Wear
Modern innovations in shape wear mean that brides can achieve the looks they want in comfort Fabrics like spandex along with flexible boning and new designs are widely available in bridal lingerie While more traditional laceup types of corsets are still available shape wear has come a long way since the 1820s Torsolettes corselettes longline or standard bustiers and control panties or hose can help shape and support while still maintaining a high level of comfort for the wearer

Wedding Lingerie

What woman doesnt want to look and feel her best on her wedding day Wedding lingerie can be shapely sexy practical or erotic The right lingerie will enhance your figure and help you look your best Brides dont just choose sexy wedding lingerie to look good it can also have a profound impact on how you feel

Choosing Your Wedding Lingerie
When you choose your wedding lingerie you first have to answer a few questions for yourself

What is your dress like
Where will the wedding take place
When will the wedding be How long will you have to wear the lingerie and is it extremely hot or cold out
How comfortable is it to wear for hours on end


Popular colors for wedding lingerie are nude and white Sometimes there are blushing pink accents but overall its suited for the traditional white and ivory gowns If your dress isnt going to be the traditional white or ivory you can branch out and experiment with colors other than white for your wedding lingerie If your dress is black you probably wont want to go with white lingerie opt for deeper colors or nudes instead Dress materials also come into play when you choose your wedding lingerie You dont want to choose bulky underthings if your dress is thin satiny and clingy enough to show every bump curve and line Dresses heavy on beading and material are fine with figureenhancing corsets and bustiers with boning and texture If your dress is made of a thin material opt for as few separates as possible to avoid unsightly lines You may want to try Spanx or other single shaping items that cover large areas Time of day or night and location of the wedding will play big parts in what you choose to wear under your dress If its a chilly night and you have the option you may want to go with something a bit bulky that covers more skin than say satin panties and a strapless bra If however youre having an afternoon wedding in the summer youll want to wear as little as possible under your dress to minimize discomfort A strapless bra and satin panties may be just what you need Theres nothing like seeing a bride at the altar readjusting her lingerie in front of a tearyeyed crowd Theres also nothing like trying to recite your vows while wondering if your lingerie straps are going to pop violently and blind your groom before ricocheting back to leave a big red welt on your forehead for your wedding photos Its sort of distracting That means you need to know that what youre wearing will be comfortablefor hours on end Youll be wearing your dressand the lingerie of coursefor quite a bit of the day Youll have picture before and after the ceremony the ceremony itself and unless youre one of those brides who cuts loose and leaves her dress behind in lieu of a pair of shorts and a tank for the reception youll be wearing your wedding lingerie at the after party as well

Before the big day and in time to shop some more make sure you try on your lingerie for more than the two minute period most of us do just to make sure something fits Stretch in it Sit down in it Kneel in it if theres going to be a point in your ceremony where youre asked to kneel Make sure your straps stay up If you dont have straps make sure the bra or bustier will stay in place Make sure those garter straps hold your thigh highs snugly in place when you move When youre looking for the perfect wedding lingerie you may want to incorporate the something old something new something borrowed and something blue phrase into it Make part of your bridal lingerie your something new or something blue but youll most likely want to skip the borrowed and old as far as your lingerie items are concerned A blue thong is a fun way to liven up your wedding lingerie and you may even already have one Ha You can use something old here You toss your bouquet at throngs of single but hopeful women Your new husband shoots the garter across his shoulder at a group of single men who may or may not admit to dodging it after the fact But what about the wedding lingerie Once its served its purpose do you keep it for old times sake or toss it too Can a bustier with so much boning in it really be used again And who really wears white thigh highs Some parts of wedding lingerie are easy to reuse especially if you wore Spanx or that old blue thong If you went crazy with the shopping though and bought everything in frilly white it can be more of a challenge to get any use out of it A couple of hints Break it into pieces Dont try to wear everything at once but a bustier under a heavy sweater or boring buttonup shirt can give you that I have a secret and its making me feel sexy feeling Wear the panties separately if you like You can even wear the thigh highs with the garter skirt you bought under your blue jeans and boots Then surprise him later Men are easily intoxicated by the sight of their woman wearing thigh highs On that note hed surely like to see you all dressed up in the whole wedding lingerie set if you ever feel like putting it all on again What woman doesnt want to look and feel her best on her wedding day Wedding lingerie can be shapely sexy practical or erotic The right lingerie will enhance your figure and help you look your best Brides dont just choose sexy wedding lingerie to look good it can also have a profound impact on how you feel .

Bridal Bras

If you dont need the additional support and shaping of longlonged bras or your dress is very formfitting youll need to choose another bra type Push up and demibras help to enhance breast shape and cleavage Gel and water inserts are also widely available for smaller breasted women who want to achieve the appearance of fuller breasts in her gown For those who are largerbreasted minimizer bras can help create a sleek and shapely appearance

For both bras and panties consider how the fabric will look under the dress such as lace or patterned fabrics that may show through Seamless undergarments are an excellent choice in bridal lingerie to keep the sleek look of a gown from being interrupted


Wedding Panties

Some brides opt for onepiece bodysuits that incorporate the panty as well as torso and breast coverage One advantage to this type of undergarment is that it offers a smooth look under the dress With dresses made of heavier or highly embellished fabrics however this is less of a concern

If you dont choose a onepiece foundation youll have to choose the right panties along with the right bustier or bra Keep in mind that whatever panties you choose comfort is key since youll most likely be wearing them for twelve hours or more by the time the wedding and reception are over Many brides opt for more coverage and comfort under their dress and save the frillier or racier choices for the wedding night or honeymoon Consider briefs bikinis or boy cut panties for comfort and coverage For fitted dresses however a gstring thong or thongboy cut panty may be more appropriate bridal lingerie to avoid showing panty lines

Hose and ThighHighs

While brides with opentoed shoes summer or beach weddings may forgo pantyhose altogether other need hose tights or thighhighs Each has pros and cons Hose can offer more tummy support thighhighs can be cooler on a warm day and tights may be perfect for winter weddings The choice basically depends on what works best for you and your dress

Often the maid of honor and or female attendants purchase special wedding night lingerie for the bride Brides may want to buy additional lingerie for their honeymoons as well From flirty and feminine to racy and risqué there are literally hundreds of choices on lingerie ensembles and pieces for your wedding night and honeymoon A small sampling of honeymoon lingerie peices available include

CAMISOLES

CAMISOLES

Camisoles are pieces great for staying in or going out They come in lace satin cotton and just about any material you can find even leather Worn tastefully that means keeping your assets covered and not looking like youre ready for bed when youre out on the town these can be some of the hottest tops around

The Skinny On Strappy Tops
There are quite a few kinds of camisoles out there

Sheer Seethrough mesh and lace tops are best left for the bedroomor at least underneath another layer leaving them well concealed

Shaping Smooth out your bumps and lumps giving yourself a more streamlined silhouette instantly Shaping tops like those from Spanx Shapewear are a great option under fitted tops Check out this one from Bloomingdales

Maternity Nursing or maternity tanks often come with a clasp built in for easy nursing However they look like normal tops and can be worn that way No one has to know that its a special design for your babys needs

Good for layering When you want to layer multiple camis its best to choose just one or none with a shelf bra Otherwise the fabric may bunch up and youll be uncomfortable Put the shelf bra on the bottom next to your skin and then layer another camisole on top

Underwire These are similar to those with shelf bras but offer extra support for those who dont want to wear a bra and a shelf bra just to feel comfortable First things first You can wear them with or without a bra Often camisoles come with built in shelf bras so you can opt to go with a strapless bra underneath if youre larger chested or with no additional bra at all If youre wearing a satin or silk number in public keep in mind this style looks best with a seamless strapless bra underneath
Layers The beauty of a cami is that it is an essential layering piece One popular look is to wear two at once in complementary colorswith blue jeans yoga pants shorts or a skirt You can also wear one under a longsleeved boatneck tshirt so the strapsagain in a complementary colorpop
Wear a buttonup shirt unbuttoned over a cami for a classic casual look For work wear a camisole underneath a blazer or sweater for a pop of color and if its lace or satin a bit of subtle sex appeal and femininity Wearing the cami that way makes it easy for you to go from work to happy hour toojust remove the blazer or sweater take down your hair and touch up your makeup
