Less is not always better
Beautiful, comfortable underwear is the best antidepressant. Understandably, beautiful, well-chosen bikinis and bras delight the eyes, correct the figure and increase self-confidence.
"The joy of buying good underwear is often greater than buying a new dress or pants," says Maria. "After all, we usually change our outerwear more regularly, and many save on underwear: they say you can't see it - and well, that's right." And this is a very big mistake! Our day starts with underwear, and the uniformity of the same bikini and bra definitely influences the mood throughout the day.
But in order for the bed linen to bring joy and not create problems, it must be chosen correctly. Poorly chosen underwear can ruin any figure, whether expensive or cheap.
The biggest problem for our women is that they choose clothes not in their actual sizes, but in what they would like to have. And if such tricks sometimes work with outerwear, then underwear from such omissions does not forgive. Wearing clothes that are out of size, a woman, looking at herself in the mirror, is always dissatisfied with her figure: hated folds form where they really are not. As a result, the woman always feels her distant imperfection and often catches the "grief" with various benefits, which does not affect the figure in the best way.
The main problem when choosing clothes is that the presented methods for determining your size do not work clearly, they can be used as a guide, but not as final figures on which to choose clothes.
Basic criteria for choosing underwear
1. Underwear should be chosen according to the figure . It should sit perfectly, no seams should be visible. No one needs to know what kind of underwear you are wearing if you do not undress. Unnecessary creases may form after washing. If you do not fit the size (for example, you have a hip 105 cm, and the manufacturer of the model has 104 cm and 106 cm), it is better to opt for a slightly larger size.
2. Underwear should be comfortable . If the bra "runs" somewhere while moving and you constantly have to adjust it, then it is not chosen correctly. If you come home at the end of the day with the idea of taking off your bra faster, this is not your bra either.
3. The bra has to perform its main function - to support the breast , which is very important for women's health. And the size should be chosen correctly: the bra should not tighten you. The ideal option - between the sternum (in the area of the solar plexus) and the bra should normally pass the finger. If you can't squeeze your finger under the bra or, conversely, slip two fingers into it, don't buy this bra. The breasts in the cups should fit perfectly, there should be no folds. If you have tight breasts, then the cup may be slightly larger than the breast itself. In all other cases, the cup should fit snugly against your chest without squeezing.
4. To make your breasts look beautiful, you need to lift them, not squeeze them . Often women with large breasts try to reduce it with the help of a minimizer, which makes the breast look smaller. But, unfortunately, they are designed in such a way that they distribute the breasts evenly on the torso. Both this and the other option look ugly, and sometimes comical. For such women it is better to stand models with fully closed cups and shaped.
5. Pay attention to your chest level . The higher they are, the better the posture and the younger the silhouette.
6. When choosing a bra, you need to fasten it to the shoulder with a clasp . If the carrier tape is stretched, you can use the following clasp and extend the life of the product.
7. The larger the chest, the wider the straps should be
No need to fight in a tight frame when choosing underwear. Let's have sets of different styles, styles and colors. It works very well psychologically. A woman should have underwear for different clothes.
Under tight pants, for example, panties with ties are best. The other models will be visible on the seams, respectively will be ugly. But wearing only such panties daily is also wrong, it can be harmful to health.
When choosing a bikini, keep in mind one characteristic: the wider the side - the shorter the leg will look, and vice versa, the shorter the side - the leg will look longer and thinner. For example, bikini pants shorten the legs and make them fuller than they really are. But they are the best option for some girls.
If you own a big belly, then it is better not to use too short bikinis. Even in short clothes you will look comical. In such cases, it is better to choose a bikini with an elastic waist or a little wider. Especially now in a retro style, with a high waist, which will help to adjust the figure.
Underwear must be functional. For example, if you have a bra with a bracelet (two circular triangles), it practically does not perform any supporting function. This model is only suitable for women with small breasts or for sleep and relaxation.
It often happens that the cups fit well, but you need to adjust the band on the back—either loosen or tighten it. If you have a broad back and not very large breasts, don't worry. The main thing is that the cups fit well, and you can easily adjust the band at home before going out.
If you're going to wear more transparent clothing, you should consider your underwear as part of your outfit. It should be comfortable. There's no need to choose a size that makes it hard to breathe—you won't be able to wear it.
We do not recommend:
1. Displaying your underwear by wearing it under overly transparent outerwear. This is inappropriate and unattractive.
2. Using silicone straps. They look terrible! Under a strapless dress, it's better to choose a strapless bra. As a last resort, you can buy elegant straps decorated with some embellishment, but not silicone ones. Silicone straps are just as bad as chain-type straps.
3. Wearing regular clothes under transparent items (floral patterns, polka dots, etc.). It's better if the underwear isn't visible at all under the clothes. The most acceptable and winning option in this case is smooth, nude-colored underwear. And it's better to show your super beautiful lace lingerie to your beloved—that's the right thing to do.
How often should you replace your underwear?
Underwear manufacturers provide a shelf life for underwear: for bras—from 3 to 6 months, and for panties—up to 6 months. But as a rule, no one adheres to these terms. Therefore, if your underwear has lost its color, is deformed, doesn't stretch, or is torn—don't keep it, throw it away.
Clothing has a certain functional and psychological significance and should always be appropriate. I advocate elegance and simplicity. In my opinion, style is when it's interesting to look, learn, notice some moments, some accessories, etc. This is much more interesting than copying someone's style from the fashion runway.
Measure the circumference under the bust and the fullest part of the bust. The difference between the two measurements determines the cup size. Don't forget to check the size chart!
Here, it's important that the underwear doesn't show, so choose seamless or underwear with thin edges.
It's recommended to replace your underwear every 6 to 12 months or when you notice wear and tear.
Wash underwear by hand or in a washing machine on a delicate cycle, using appropriate detergents. Avoid the dryer to preserve shape and elasticity.
Bras with a wide band, wide straps, and well-shaped cups provide the necessary support and comfort for a larger bust.
