As we end the year, the goals and resolutions begin to emerge. If fitness is on the list, then having the right gear including a proper fitting sports bra is very important. Compression is the key word here. This does not mean smashing, “I can’t breathe get me out of this”. Compression defined in terms of lingerie fit is the bra allows you to move comfortably and not deal with the jiggles. Now that you can get sports bras sized, if you are a D or above, the options are now plenty. If you’re smaller framed, the best solution is the XS-XL collections. Remember to select the correct style for the level of fitness you are doing on a daily basis. If your doing kick boxing, then a firm fit sports bra is important. If it’s yoga, no wire should be just fine. Thank you to all our readers and Facebook Friends in making 2010 a wonderful year for Lingerie Fit Expert. Make 2011 a spectacular and successful year!
Fashion Watch – Sweater Tights
As the weather transitions to winter, a woman must stay inspired as it pertains to fashion. Our norm when it gets cold is to cover it up and bundle it up. One of the top fashionista trends right now is sweater tights with prints and stylish details including bling. I think this is brilliant because it expands your wardrobe opportunities. You can update a black skirt, or take a long tunic and make a total statement without breaking your wallet.
Body Confidence – Rocking the Body
Women today can select from so many hot mama solutions to go from day to evening to play. One of the hottest trends to come back recently is the bodysuit. The bodysuit allows you to show your curves and not worry about panty lines, the jiggles or the bumps we normally get in our clothes. Is it for you? I always encourage clients to go beyond the line and try things on, how else will you know? Can I wear it to work? Absolutely! If you’re in a conservative environment, then use it under a jacket or blouse. After work, break out sister.. One of the advantages of the style is that you don’t need to worry about multiple layers (bra, shaper, and camisole). One garment does it all!
Shapely Jeans and Tees
I can not think of any woman who does not love jeans. It’s the lifestyle fabric of choice for today’s woman who wants versatility, style and convenience. The new way to do denim is to have shapewear solutions built in for our not so perfect figures. You can take care of a sagging touché to a burrito roll tummy in a nano second.
In addition you can become sexy and slim on the top with tanks and tees that have shaping technology built into the fabric. I remember when a snug fit jean was a terrifying proposition for a woman. Now you can not only look stunning, but bend stretch, walk with ease. Can all the ladies say yeah!
A Salute to Elizabeth Edwards
Recently Elizabeth Edwards lost her life to breast cancer. She fought like a champion and encouraged so many women around the globe to not give up. Her book Resilience is the perfect description to describe her attitude on life. Breast cancer challenges and changes so many women’s lives. In this year alone I have seen a close friend and my aunt fight cancer and win. In thinking about the word “Resilience”, I encourage every woman to think about what makes them strong, a conqueror and a true fighter for what matters most in their life. Most importantly, let’s thank and remember Elizabeth Edwards for the life she lived, and the lives she changed by her incredible smile and passion for life. Rest in peace Elizabeth.
Holiday Shopping – Tis the Season to Spoil Your Man
What to buy a guy? It’s a question I get asked by numerous clients every holiday season. Men’s furnishings have changed by leaps and bounds. Guys only had a few options. Just like us ladies they want a little something special under the tree that says happy holidays in a signature way. A new style in a under shirt is always a winner.
He can layer it under an oxford shirt or jacket. Two for one! Don’t be afraid to ask him questions. What would you wear? Tell me what works for you? Men will tell you and they don’t like to exchange. Boxer briefs are never boring or dull. Just try a new print. Remember ladies men like COMFORT and SIMPLE. Have fun shopping and make your man feel special this season.
Lingerie Style – Leopard Love Continues…
Leopard is everywhere! Handbags, shoes, gloves, coats, hosiery and beyond… Instead of basic black try a little animal. A bra and panty set is perfect if you’re timid about busting out (no pun intended) in public. It’s very chic and stylish. Underwear is another way to incorporate cheetah passion. So many companies provide 3 for offers. Invite the wild side into your life!
PJ Party – Lounging in Fashionista Style
If you’re expecting guests this holiday season, more than likely they will be staying over and enjoying the festivities. Just like our outer attire, sleepwear has been upgraded and enhanced to provide ladies who lounge with the sophistication and style they want and deserve. You would not entertain in shabby clothes.
The same applies for your loungewear. It should reflect a style that makes a statement. How do you handle the modesty factor if it’s too sheer? Simply add a camisole. It not only adds another dimension of warmth, but creates a fashion and chic statement. Wrap yourself in style and luxury. Go ahead…
Total Body Makeover – No Surgery Required…
Party time is here and getting dressed for the occasion is amazing this year. There are no rules, everything from vintage with faux fur to short dresses with platforms to the timeless ball gown are in style this season. We as women become hesitant about our choices because we feel not so sure about our rolls, and I am not talking about on the dinner table. The ones that show up in the slinky knits and hot mama tops suddenly when were trying to wear something body conscious.
Shapewear has allowed women to be fierce, flawless and sculpted within an instant. On the horizon is the trend of the “total body shaper”. It went away, but now women everywhere are asking for HELP! Help get me into my outfit for the company party. Help me for my date with hot daddy. Help me just feel comfortable within my own skin while I transition with weight loss or gain. Divas around the world, they heard you and you have the empowerment tool to make it happen. Go forth to the events in your life with power (and shape).
Sexy (and comfortable) Stocking Stuffers
The race is on for holiday shopping. Have you made your list yet? Underwear is the perfect stocking stuffer for women. Holiday theme lingerie has become extremely popular. It’s an easy gift for a friend or loved one.
The boy short is here to stay as the new way to do sexy and practical underwear solutions. They provide no lines and no hike (we love this).
A thong is still popular for the ultimate no line solution. The hi-cut brief and full brief are always “safe”. They provide ample coverage and no struggle with fit on the hip line and rear. Let the fun and shopping begin!
