A Ladies Undergarments - You Have Choices
July 15, 2008
You spend no small amount of time thinking and planning your outfit. From bras to tops to shoes, it is no easy task to come up with the perfect look. Despite this, many of us make the mistake of never really thinking through our choice of bottoms.
When picking panties, we tend to go in one of two directions. The first is to go for something sexy. The second is to go for something comfortable and practical. Oddly, the two are rarely put together in most bottoms.
Much like bras, bottoms or panties come in a wide variety of styles. You wouldn’t think so at first glance, but they do. Let’s take a quick look at the styles and when you might use them in relation to other clothing or events.
The full brief has to be the starting point for our discussion. This is the foundation of your bottoms collection. It offers comfort and support, but next to no intimate appeal. Going grocery shopping for the family? This is the choice.
The second standard bearer when it comes to women’s bottoms is the bikini. Many believe it is the perfect mesh of comfort and intimacy. You can increase or decrease both by mixing and matching patterns, materials, and versions with strings on the hips.
A step up on the intimate scale from the full brief is the French cut. This is a comfortable brief that has a high leg cut allowing for shorts and skirts, but lots of upper support. Not quite a bikini look, but definitely headed in that direction.
The boy short is a very comfortable bottom for women. This style is very similar to biking pants, except with a snugger fit, no padding and much shorter leggings. With their low waist cuts, they go well with skirts and low cut pants.
Like the look of a thong, but can’t stand the high riding uncomfortable sensation? Give a Tanga a try. It is essentially a thong, but with more back support. It is an attempt to combine the comfort of a regular bottom with the sexiness of a thong.
It is important to remember that a look is only as good as its weakest element. Think through your underwear before heading out. Sometimes comfort is the most important factor. Other times, the look or intimate element needs to be emphasized.
