The most important part of building a house is ensuring you lay a solid foundation Just the same, when building a great outfit, you have to start with proper fitting foundation pieces - your underwear.
Wearing ill-fitting and unflattering undergarments is a cardinal sin in the fashion world. Laying the ground work for a stellar outfit starts with choosing the right basic essentials, your underwear.
Color and Texture
The color and texture of your underwear directly affect how your clothes look to the world. The most surefire way to ensure your undies are not visible beneath your clothing is to wear a color that is as close to your skin tone as possible. This becomes especially important when wearing lightweight fabrics and lighter colors that may be more transparent.
Probably one of the biggest fashion fallacies is wearing white on white - that is, the belief that when wearing a white outfit, it’s best to wear white underwear. Visibly white underwear worn beneath a white ensemble is a travesty and looks even more ghastly on darker skin tones. Sticking to flesh toned underwear when wearing clothing that is lighter colored or has some sheer qualities is a must.
Beyond color, the fabric and texture of your underwear is highly important as well. Though we all want to feel sexy in our undergarments - sticking to natural fabrics such as cotton is best for your skin and comfort level. Although a lace bra looks amazing on its own, wearing it underneath a fitted silky top makes your chest look bulky, lumpy and unattractive. When purchasing underwear to be worn underneath your everyday clothing, opt for smooth finishes that will allow clothing to fall comfortably and fluidly.
Size and Fit
There are some things in life that are better for you when they’re smaller, your underwear is not one of these things. At some point we’ve all had that moment when you slip on your underwear, look in the mirror and things just don’t seem to be sitting right. Wearing underwear that is too tight creates bulges and lumps that are visible through your clothing. Moreover it’s uncomfortable and can lead to ridges in the skin, irritation that can lead to darkening of the skin, and even shoulder and back pains.
Your bra size is determined by measuring your band and cup size. It’s important to get professionally fitted for a bra twice a year. Many international department stores offer this service at no cost. Wearing the correct bra size most importantly lifts and supports your bust so that it appears its best. Fringe benefits of wearing the correct bra size is that it helps to improve your posture by providing the support you need, which helps you appear slimmer and walk taller.
Sculpt and Shape
Forget diamonds, body shapers are a girl’s best friend! Not all of us have the body we want now, but that doesn’t mean you can’t look like you do. Modern body shapers are a great way to whittle your waistline, smooth out unsightly bulges as well as lift and slim your butt and thighs. Your mother and grandmother swore by their girdles and now you can swear by the more comfortable and effective options available today. With brands such as Body Magic and Spanx all the rage, this industry has exploded and provides women with a great way to look amazing in their clothes while remaining comfortable.
