The right underwear is a confidence booster and both belong in your capsule wardrobe.
It’s the little things that matter
Just because your underwear is hidden beneath your exterior packaging, it doesn’t mean it isn’t a part of your image.
It is. It’s integral to your brand personality.
If it’s the little things that matter, then wearing the right underwear matters. Foundation wear may be an
old-fashioned term but its meaning is clear: laying the right foundation is key to the success of what goes on top of it.
Wearing the right ‘foundation’ smooths and supports the body, and helps your clothes to hang properly.
As an added benefit, you get to enjoy a boost of confidence.
Lingerie belongs in your capsule wardrobe too
.
There’s little point in having a wardrobe of inter-changeable clothes to suit your lifestyle with underwear that’s doing its best
to sabotage many of your looks.
Badly-fitting underwear will not let you feel self-assured and confident. If your lingerie isn’t helping to display your figure as
you would like, it’s probably time to review your collection of underwear and then re-new and up-grade accordingly.
These days there’s a choice of lingerie to complement the busiest of lifestyles.
From daywear to evening, from sports to shape wear and from maternity to post-surgery.
And wearing the correct size of bra is not only more comfortable but it improves your posture.
You’ll be surprised by your added self-assurance.
Boost your confidence, not reduce it.
Before any important event, whether attending a board meeting or going to a large social gathering, self-preparation is vital.
From what you are going to say to what you are going to wear.
And that includes the little things: from your nails to your hosiery to your underwear.
Don’t wear second-best because you’ll feel second-best. Wear the best and you’ll feel the best. Try it.
“Always wear clean underwear in case you are in an accident”
The old adage above is as valid today as it always was. Wearing underwear that looks good makes you feel good.
It’s about retaining your dignity and self-esteem. It’s also about confidence, which for many women is such a precious asset.
Why allow something as small as your underwear to chip away at this treasured resource?
It’s time for a lingerie Spring clean.
To help you get started, see our simple 8-point Lingerie Review Guide below.
The trick is to be ruthless. If it doesn’t fit properly, it doesn’t belong in your underwear drawer.
Similarly if you haven’t worn a piece in the last year – that allows special items for annual holidays –
pass it on or ditch it.
