How to choose your lingerie in 3 steps
Dressing well already starts with making the right choices when buying your underwear. So do not neglect the budget devoted to lingerie. More than showcasing your forms, a well-chosen lingerie adapted to your measurements will help you to accept your body. Goodbye to complexes when you feel good in your underwear: beautiful, sexy and comfortable!
1) The importance of choosing the bra
My first advice is very simple. When you buy lingerie, go to a specialty store and avoid big box stores or H&M style stores. Why ? Because you will not have lingerie advisers like in a little more upscale shops. I also advise you not to shop online. If your budget is limited, think of the sales period, lingerie, like ready-to-wear is very often on sale.
The main thing is to wear the right size because 8 out of 10 women wear the wrong size bra! A bra at your waist will highlight all your clothes: they will simply fall better. You will also be much more comfortable.
If the back of the bra goes up, if the straps mark your skin, if the baskets crease: you are wearing the wrong size of bra.
Two size indicators are important: the waist measurement and the chest measurement. Without going into details, trust the specialists in store.
For small breasts
When you have a small chest, you can choose to highlight your chest thanks to a push up shape or stay in fine lingerie and wear shapes without corsetry like triangles.
Choose the shapes according to the clothes you are going to wear. If you wear a neckline, opt for the push up which will create the illusion of a more generous chest and thus bring you closer to the silhouette in X. If you do not know your type of silhouette, read my article dressing according to its silhouette to identify it and wear the clothes that will highlight your line. On the contrary if you wear a blouse or a little blouse, wear a bra in fine lingerie.
Some lingerie brands specialize in smaller breasts. At Princesse Tam Tam, you will find a wide choice of colors and shapes, each prettier than the next.
A little more upscale, a brand that I particularly like: Fifi Chachnil. You will find sets in games of transparency and strong colors in pastels. A little pin-up look for a lingerie designer who also offers a superb range of dresses in materials of impeccable quality.
For large breasts
From cup C, choose basket-shaped bras. That being said, the C cups can afford all forms of bra but it is better to maintain the breast with whales.
D cups need more support. This is why from this size, we forget the push up models, the chest is already quite large. You can choose underwired shapes that will slightly reduce the chest while lifting it up. Your chest will be highlighted while being well proportioned.
The brand you should bet on? Chantal Thomass. This is the perfect brand for slightly larger cups. The materials used form an excellent support even after several washes: they do not grow. During sales period, you will find very interesting offers for this brand of high-end lingerie.
The bras are also very well designed in order to distribute the volume of the chest evenly so as to find a nice rounded shape. From the D cup, opt for slightly wider straps for the comfort of your shoulders and back, as well as encompassing cup shapes.
2) A stocking that cannot be seen under clothing
Whether you have plump buttocks or not, the rule to follow when choosing panties is transparency under clothing.
So, if you wear light colors in summer, choose the choice of flesh-colored underwear. The thong is recommended for very tight clothing, but be careful to always choose a size above your ready-to-wear size for comfort.
The most plump buttocks can bet on the boxer. They will include the buttocks well and maintain them.
If you have flatter buttocks, play on the materials and details to compensate. For example, choose shorty panties with ornaments such as a few frills or well-placed knots. You can also bet on transparent materials for the sexy side.
Finally, if you have a little belly, wear slightly sheathed high waist pants. They will flatten your little belly. I advise to wear them only when you have tight fitting clothes because they can tighten a little and not be very comfortable. Choose simple high waisted panties the rest of the time.
3) Respect the proportions of the body for the sets
In order to feel beautiful in your underwear, apply the rule of proportions. Remember that underwear is also important for feeling good about your style! Beyond the effects of "transparency" under clothing, it is also important to apply this rule of proportions for a most harmonious silhouette.
If you have, for example, a large chest, (or if you are orienting yourself on a bra model that descends on your stomach) wear high-waisted pants to rebalance the bottom. On the contrary if you have a small chest, you can wear a tanga or a thong. So the silhouette will be in proportion if you ever want to take out the big game 😉
What underwear do you wear and what do you feel comfortable in? Do not hesitate to ask me questions in comments if you do not know what to wear as lingerie depending on the clothes you wear.
