The category of underwear for women has exploded!  Boy shorts, briefs, high cuts, thongs, and more.  I am simply amazed at how many pairs of underwear a woman could own if she wanted to have some for a whole month.

You would never get bored, and the color choices are endless.  This summer, I am encouraging all my clients to do pretty underwear that is both comfortable and sexy.  Is it possible?  Absolutely!  If you love boy shorts then try stretch lace or cotton.  If you like a classic brief or high cut, then micro fiber is going to be your friend for both coolness in hot climates, and a comfortable stretch if you like full coverage in the rear.

Because women tend to wear a lot more dresses this time of year, wearing colors and prints is easier.  Instead of basic black with a sun dress, try a fun print.

Many women do not realize that pale pink is the new “nude”.  If you have a fair complexion, it’s a nice change from the ordinary choices we pull out of our drawer.

What’s your choice?  Be adventurous this summer.

I absolutely love precious stones.  The color palette  in lingerie looks similar to some of the stones I love including rose quartz and turquoise.  Turquoise is such a strong, passionate stone.   It’s a color that looks spectacular on just about anyone. Finding the right shade for you is the key. The bra can be work as a peek-a-boo camisole with the right blouse or shirt. A t-shirt adds a fresh pop of color to neutral, chocolate, or black.   Remember, fashion lingerie is made to compliment fashion trends.

Finding a shade in pale tones may not work if you’re ethnic or have dark undertones.  Find a way to work turquoise into this season’s wardrobe.

One of the major complaints I receive my from my clients is that seamless bras especially contour look too industrial or rigid.  I agree, and yes the companies heard women as well and have now taken a new approach to handling the request.

The lace is used in discreet or hidden places that provide a touch of glamour but not intrusion on your bra.  If you’re searching for something new, combining the softness of lace with a seamless bra is a favorite for summer tank tops and knits.  Bella!

Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms, grandmothers and even new moms to be! As we enter into this treasured holiday season, I took a moment to think about what would be the perfect gift for mom in the lingerie department.

This year, I selected the “Lingerie Wardrobe”.  I define this as the items that most women would not buy themselves, but secretly have them on their wish list.  The luxurious camisole and panties or the cotton candy soft to the touch night shirt….why not all three?

These items are versatile and can help mom go from day to evening.  When I worked in retail, women would always mention how they loved the practical items such as cotton underwear or a night shirt when exchanging gifts.   You can give mom basic cotton to stretch micro fiber. Have a wonderful day!

If you have already started shopping for your summer wardrobe, it’s so important to add new underwear to your list.  Last summer I got caught in an embarrassing situation as I left home in my white sundress looking awesome (so I thought).  I stopped by the cleaners to pick up items and as I was approaching I caught a glimpse of my blaring nude underwear showing through my white dress.  Mortified… The Lingerie Fit Expert was a potential magazine article of “Don’t Do This”!  So what was the problem?  The nude was not my shade.  I scrambled home and went searching through my drawer.  I tried nude, I tried black, it was still a train wreck.  Finally, the answer came when I pulled out a pair of chocolate brown thongs.  It matched my skin tone, and disappeared under my clothes.

Do you have your own not so special moment?  I am sure we could swap story after story.  When you’re shopping for underwear, remember to think past just nude, black or white.  Think about shades and tones you may have not considered before to prepare for wardrobe malfunctions.  Everything does not have to be totally seamless.  A touch of lace at the right locations on underwear is totally fine.  You want to own at least 10 or more pairs of underwear and now companies are giving incentives such as $1 off each pair for buying three or more.  No more excuses and emergencies.  Your covered girlfriend!

In Style Magazine recently reviewed new bras for women.  It was well done, and wow what a collection.  It is so awesome to see that women of every size and shape can truly have their own style.

As I reviewed lingerie trends for spring, my favorite pick is vintage inspired lingerie.

Vintage is timeless, and if you’re a woman who likes to collect lingerie, it’s a must have. It appears that dresses and being ultra feminine is the key this season.  A vintage bra and panty set would be the ultimate accessory to your wardrobe. Regardless if you can not see it, you know how fabulous you feel and look.

It does not cost a fortune to do the vintage look.  Prices range from $24 to $60 for a bra and $10 to $30 for the bottom half.  Create a new expression of you with a return to classic intimate apparel that celebrates the old, but brings out a bold new woman in you!

In the mid 90’s designer and icon Josie Natori began a line of lingerie camisole tops that you could wear out.  At first, my clients did not understand the concept.  They would always ask, is this to be seen?  I would always be so excited to show them how to incorporate the tee into their wardrobe.  I personally rocked an orange v-neck camisole of hers for years!Spring is a time to be creative in your shopping.

Advice:  On a budget?  Reinvent your entire wardrobe by purchasing three or four key camisoles.  Select different styles including no sleeve, long sleeve, prints and solids.  You will be amazed how your wardrobe will look brand new!

Spring has arrived!  I am so excited with the clothing and intimate apparel collections this season.  It’s all about women tapping into the soft, feminine energy.  The biggest trend so far is floral.  Flowers are EVERYWHERE.  The new statement has been incorporated into handbags, shoes, and accessories. The trend is no stranger to intimate apparel.  You can find it in bras this season in which the pattern and or lace does not interfere with your clothes.

I would select a color story that is going to work with your wardrobe such as black, nude or pink.  Pink is another alternative to skin tone.

Incorporating the floral statement into a camisole is another way to strut your stuff.  It provides a subtle detail that takes your wardrobe from basic to beautiful.  The best part is that you can transition the look with summer collections as well.   Go ahead, try something new…

I bought a handbag a couple of months ago.  When purchasing I sort of stepped back, looked it over and pondered if I would use the bag all the time because of the color.  It was gray and I never owned anything in this color.  I became confident with my choice as women and men complimented me on my bag.  Wow, it’s a winner!  It caused me to look at other options for my discovery of this very sophisticated color.  I noticed that I could put the bag with multiple colors from dark to light.

How perfect for us women who want a new color that goes beyond beige or nude for lingerie.  In the case of the Fantasie Full Figure Set, you can mix this into your black or khaki color story.  You will find the color gray in a variety of tones.  Dark pewter to light silver is the palate range.  Instead of selecting your normal black, white and beige try gray!
