Underwear styles range from the seductively sexy to the just plain comfortable.
But one thing you always need to remember is that undergarments can make or break an outfit.
Wearing the right underwear is the key to making you look your very best. Many women constantly make the mistake of choosing the wrong type of bra to go under their clothes. An example would be the lacy, bulky bra worn with a slinky, fitted top over it. Something seamless and more streamlined is always best for such a figure-hugging look.
Then there are the women who choose the super comfy but at the same time ultra saggy bra that ends up making them shapeless. No one wants this! You want to choose a bra that defines and celebrates your bust and makes it look great.
Once you have the correct foundation garments on, your clothes should just effortlessly slip over you like a glove.
When in doubt always seek professional help.
We love taking our stars at TVNZ to see Bendon's "Braologist" extraordinaire, Carol Rashleigh. Carol is a genius when it comes to fitting bras and she's always astounded to find out that most women don't actually know their true bra size and have been wearing the wrong size bra for years!
Once you finally know your true bra size then it's time to start collecting some underwear basics in black and also nude/flesh tones.
Underwear essentials
- Black bra and strapless black bra
- Nude bra and nude strapless bra
- Bras for halter-neck and plunging neckline styles
- Black slip and nude slip
- Black and nude underpants (selection of styles such as g-string
and boy-leg)
Now you can start adding all the fun pieces to your lingerie collection. Your one-stop shop for this is Bendon where they have everything you need.
Bendon
Bendon's Autumn/Winter 2010 Collection combines the classic favourites with luscious new looks. This season is peppered with exciting styles, prints and fabrics. Look out for the multi-way and t-shirt bras using lightweight microfibre combined with satin, thus creating the ultimate silhouette under clothes.
The fashion collection inspires with darted lace, fabulous fresh-look printed satin and bold new prints.
New styles are arriving in stores every month so keep your eyes peeled!
