Take Your Lingere to the Next Level

I found this quiz in a book called Underneath It All by Jennifer Manuel Carroll, take it and find out what lingerie styles best fit your personality and lifestyle. You may fall into more than one category or find yourself gravitating toward more than one style. That’s great! It means you’re open to more options.

Mostly Bs: Practical
Mostly Cs: Romantic/Sweet
Mostly Ds: Sophisticated/Chic
Mostly Es: Sexy Seductress

Sporty: Recommendations for you gals who want to “sport” lingerie while still keeping your athletic sensibility include:

  • Sassy, soft bras comfortable enough to sleep in but also designed for support and daily wear.
  • Comfy boyshorts that won’t migrate during the daily routine.
  • Coordinated pajama sets in cheery colors or fun cotton camisole and short sets for spring.

Tip: unless you are playing a sport, you should not be wearing a sports bra! They do nothing but restrict the movement of your breasts, pressing them into a boob omelet-not a tasty look.

To Start: go out and buy a supportive bra that is so comfortable you forget you’re wearing it.

Practical: Who says practical has to be boring? Pick items that are functional and fit properly but that also make you feel good.

  • A black T-shirt bra and matching black bikini
  • Comfy camisoles with matching bottoms
  • A thin cotton or modal robe in a soft, muted color
  • Cute print panties that have nude in the pattern to match your nude T-shirt bra

Tips: If you have a blackĀ  or nude T-shirt bra buy a bunch of black or nude basic bottoms. You will have a matching set every day without even trying!

To Start: Find yourself a comfortable coordinated sleep set-there are lots out there that feel like a second skin.

Romantic/Sweet: You like to freshen up your lingerie wardrobe, buying something new for each season. Take a look at these items:

  • Flouncy, fun babydolls with floral or patterned motifs.
  • Bras with bows, ribbons, or interesting details and artsy straps to show off.
  • Bottoms with ruffles, details and charm.
  • Prints. Gingham and paisley dots.

Tips: Be creative! If you find a killer deal on a cute camisole or bra, try to match it with a fun pair of panties. This will ensure you wear the item, and you will feel smashing in an unconventional matching set.

To Start: Go through your lingerie drawer and pick an item that you have been saving for a special occasion. Put it on right now!

Sexy Seductress: You more than likely acquired several of these key pieces already. Keep your drawers stocked with:

  • A silk nightgown and robe set, which will ensure you always have appropriate sleepwear when company is over…
  • A silk camisole and tap pants set, for sultry summer nights.
  • A corset or bustier.
  • A pair of fishnets, thigh highs and stockings.
  • A garter belt, of course!

Tips: Don’t feel compelled to restrict your corset to the boudoir. Wear it out, over a skirt or jeans!
