Stylish Lingerie - More Than Just an Accessory. A Shopping Guide

Confidence is the foundation of beauty for every woman. It's well known that it consists of many small elements that together build it from scratch. That's why the right bra and panties, which not only enhance the entire silhouette but also give confidence, making you feel great in your body, are so important. How to choose this dream lingerie?

Perfect measurements

The correct size is the most important factor. Ill-fitted lingerie will create unattractive cuts on the body and completely distort its shape. When choosing a bra, it's best to initially rely on the advice of an expert. A professional bra-fitter will help establish the correct breast size, show how to properly measure your dimensions, and advise which models will be best for you. It's also worth asking her about the proper way to wear a bra, which also has a significant impact on how it will fit.

For the bottom part of the lingerie, it's best to test on your own skin what size will be appropriate. It's not worth relying solely on the numbers written on the label. Every woman has different proportions, and it often turns out that owners of the same size in reality need something completely different.

"First and foremost, pay attention to whether the chosen panties do not slide off or cut into the body. Too tight lingerie not only adversely affects the appearance but can also lead to problems in intimate areas. It's also worth paying attention to the quality of the products, examining the type of material, finishes, and seams. High-quality lingerie, as well as beautiful, delicate, and feminine styles, can be found in premium brand collections, such as Stella McCartney or Balmain," says Karolina Pietrasik-Książek, an expert from the online store Vitkac.com.

Proper proportions

In addition to the right size, the type of lingerie will be extremely important. It should be matched to your body type. Women with a generous bust should opt for wide straps, which will provide proper support. In this case, full cup or balcony cups, which adequately cover the breasts, will also help. Fantastic models are offered by Dolce & Gabbana and Gucci, for example.

For a protruding tummy, stylish high-waisted panties will come to the rescue. They will help create the desired silhouette and are ideally suited for every outfit. Stylish propositions can be found, for example, in collections by Moschino, Balmain, Burberry, or Palm Angels.

Owners of small curves can afford decorative laces and frills, which will draw attention to the right places. It's worth looking at the collections of Stella McCartney or Emporio Armani. Thongs from Diesel or Samsoe Samsoe will add curves to those with narrow hips and a flat bottom. You can also use push-up technology, for example from DSQUARED1, to achieve a more pronounced shape of the breasts.

Lingerie savoir-vivre

Once we know what size and model of lingerie we should buy, it's worth introducing a few fashion rules concerning wearing this part of the wardrobe. Thanks to the proper base in the wardrobe, creating a quick fantastic outfit will not be the slightest problem. Therefore, it's worth investing in proven styles and colors.

The most important rule for every stylish woman is having lingerie in a neutral color. The best choice will be black or a shade as close as possible to the owner's complexion. These two colors will undoubtedly match any outfit, even a see-through blouse. Black bras and panties can be found, for example, at Moschino and DSQUARED2, and a palette of natural colors is proposed by Balmain.

Of course, other colors are not prohibited, and in some outfits, they are even recommended. Intense, neon colors from Diesel or pastel pinks and blues from Stella McCartney can be a fantastic complement to a sporty outfit or a romantic dress. However, one should know how to match lingerie to a specific occasion. It's generally discouraged to wear white lingerie under light clothes, as it's very visible and not elegant.
