They don't call it 'Intimate apparel' for nothing.... underwear has never looked hotter!! This is base layer boot camp!!

Make him smile!!!

Better yet, make yourself smile, glance down your top..like what you see???

Ladies ....It's time to get into gorgeous, feminine, sexy, silky, lacy beautiful underwear..because what's going on underneath, is about to become relevant to whats happening with the rest of the outfit!!!

Get intimate with your intimate apparel!!!

Have you noticed all the deep deep necklines and armholes around?
How about all the sheer organza's and fine lacing???

I need to equip you with everything you need to know about underwear and 'fast'...here we go.

Firstly, I need to explain something.. just because you (usually) can't see your underwear, doesn't mean it isn't important.
  • When you feel beautiful, your confidence levels increase and your mood lifts. This one reason to wear great knickers.. even if it's just for you.
  • Underwear which fits you correctly, gives your body a shapely, feminine profile, and makes the outer layers of your outfit look better..(ever seen the double boob effect?? Not good!!!)
  • Underwear can be a part of your outfit, if worn tastefully, I am talking about bra's here, not knickers. It is acceptable to reveal a little snippet of your bra. It can be charming or it can be cheeky.
  • Lastly.. you just never know when you will be in an emergency...so cover all bases as stylishly as possible..(you know what I mean)
OK - so we know it's all about the lace this season, lacy play suits, lacy camisoles, lacy dresses, lace applique, lacy patches and lace inserts.. it's everywhere, and there's no escaping it (not that you would want to)
.....so then, with all this 'transparency' and sheer exposure..what do we do to protect our privates?

This is what we do:

"We embrace, stunning base layers..I'm talking about underwear. yes I am!"

5 second - Base Layer boot Camp!!:
  • Modest? - go for a full cover, no detail, no contrast colour, silk fitted cami, or bra.. you will be able to see it (that's why I've popped the cami option in there) but it will be subtle, due to the colour match.
  • Are you an Audrey Hepburn look-a-like? elegantly slip into a strapless Nancy Ganz body contour suit, and pop the lacy top over!! It's a classically gorgeous look!!
  • Live on the wild side? - there is some seriously sexy and colourful lace out there right now.. go for a colour pop!!!! wear it under black or charcoal or cream even, and make your outfit sing!!!!!
  • Are you rock n' roll? pick yourself up a 1/2 torso bustier, and wear it over a fitted singlet, or on it's own, with a full circle short skirt or fitted jeans!!!! See Cotton on BODY for the Fluro the peach one!!
Don't have a lacy top or dress and don't feel interested in buying one?
Show a little snippet of your lace bra, worn under a loose silk cami.

How about evening wear? What underwear should we wear under dresses?
  • It is a fashion disaster to see elegant dresses displaying underwear lines and pulling lines. Evening wear should enhance the wearers shape not expose the ugly details of the knicker elastic, or Bra wire.
  • In this situation you are best to go for a seamless body contour playsuit. not only will it pull you in and smooth out bumps, it will be invisible. Ths is what you want!
  • If the dress is backless - you can opt for the Nancy Ganz knicker, to sculpt your hip line.

How can my underwear be sexy, without feeling like a porn star?
  • The french do it "oh' so well!! take a leaf out of their books ladies, go for real silks and real lace (investment? yes?) fine materials, which feel beautiful to touch. It will be worth it!! Polyester is OUT!!
  • Select a colour which is an oyster hue, or a dusted hue, or black.
  • The whole piece doesn't necessarily have to be lace, you should look for a combination of textures.
  • Now you would have heard this before, and it's true.. revealing too much, leaves nothing for the imagination, so show snippets, rather than slide shows!! ...Back to the french - the french knicker is so sexy, bacause it covers, yet it surprisingly reveals!!

Lastly..Did you know there are bottom lifters around now??Yes it's true.. you can transform your pear into a peach in seconds!! Look out for them in all good underwear stores!!

Embrace the sexy you with beautiful underwear and feel fabulous wearing it!!

Your personal stylist
