Fit better in your clothes--find the right underwear

May 25, 2009 by FN's Happy Lopez

leadJoleen.jpgOne of the major fashion faux pas women commit these days is wearing the wrong kind or size of underwear. What a lot of them don’t know is this affects how clothes cling to and drape over the body.


Picking the right undergarments can completely change the way a dress fits your shape or how a pair of trousers fall from your waist down. It can do wonders for your body, especially in certain areas you wish to enhance or lift.
Here are some tips from The Lucky Shopping Manual by Kim France and Andrea Linett to help you pick the right pair of underwear, be it for boosting or minimizing specific body flaws you’re concerned with:

  • The right underwear is an investment. Always stick to the basics when it comes to everyday bras and panties. Look for a pair that fits and suits your body then try it out. If after washing and wearing it several times you’re satisfied with it in terms of fit and elasticity, then you’ve found the suki store for your underwear essentials. 
  • Silk bras are suited for everyday use. Stock up on silk bras because they work best under any fabric with their smooth and slippery feel.
  • Lose the panty lines. You should invest in good quality, seamless, and low-cut panties. Under any fabric and even in your most fitted outfits, seamless briefs will appear invisible—minus the uneasiness you have when wearing a thong.
  • Lose the white bra. A lot of women like to color coordinate, matching their underwear with their outfit all the time, even if it’s absolutely unnecessary. All your bras should be nude since this is concealed best, regardless of your top’s color. But if you’re going to wear black, a black bra is vital. So stock up on a lot of nude and black bras.


Keep in mind that you have a lot of underwear options. Take your time and fit everything and anything you think will work for your needs.
