There’s nothing more personal than underwear and it’s a vitally important component of any outfit. Here’s the low-down on your down lows….
The Good Good underwear is the bedrock of any amazing outfit. Think of your outfit like a building, if the foundations stink, then chances are the outfit will too. Good underwear fits properly and makes the most of your assets.
It can smooth lumps and bumps and make you feel like a million dollars. Good underwear is sexy without being cheap and smutty. It suggests sexiness and romance instead of slapping you in the face with full on raunch. The people at Victoria’s Secret are very good at creating this vibe.
Think about their yearly parade – it’s full of beautiful women wearing angel wings making their way down the runway in underwear that is cute and sexy, but not threatening.
That’s why women don’t mind it when their husbands and boyfriends ogle the catalogues.
The Bad Bad underwear is like the evil twin of good underwear. Bad underwear doesn’t make you look or feel good – in fact it does just the opposite.
It’s cheap and nasty, uncomfortable and made from dodgy fabrics. Bad underwear doesn’t deliver on its promises and never does what it says it will. Bad knickers give you visible panty lines and bad bras cut into you and give you that unattractive back bulge.
But it’s not the underwear itself that’s entirely to blame. A good tradesman never blames his tools (or whatever), so if your underwear is bad, you have to take some of the responsibility.
Remember, when it comes to bras and knickers, it’s not worth penny pinching. You need good support and comfort – so take the time to get fitted and choose underwear that does its job properly.
The Ugly Ugly underwear is exactly that: unattractive, cheap, nasty and hideous. It also refers to underwear that you’ve been holding on to for way too long. When it comes to underthings, it doesn’t pay to be sentimental. Why are you holding on to these old things anyway? Anything that has lost its elastic, has broken straps or has holes in it is unwearable and therefore has to go.
Ugly underwear also encompasses that dodgy, creepy stuff you can buy at the Vic Market and at those weird joke / gift stores. You know, edible underwear, g-strings made out of sweets, those cheap and nasty satin g-strings in the shape of birds, butterflies and all manner of wildlife and pretty much anything that combines the words ‘male’ and ‘g-string’. Far from being sexy, all these items have bogan written all over them. Stay far, far away.
