LET’S GET INTIMATE: MY FAVORITE BRAS, UNDERWEAR AND SHAPEWEAR

LET'S GET INTIMATE MY FAVORITE BRAS UNDERWEAR PANTIES LINGERIE

WACOAL RED CARPET STRAPLESS BRA

This is probably the most frequently asked question about undergarments I receive! As a large-chested woman and someone who enjoys an off-shoulder or one-shoulder silhouette, I decided to take it to the professionals to give me the perfect-fitting, supportive bra. The geniuses at Nordstrom suggested and fitted me with the Wacoal Red Carpet Strapless Bra a few years ago, and I’ve never looked back! The biggest tip I have if you’re ordering online is to go up a full cup size. I normally wear a 34D in regular bras, but for a smooth fit and bra that lies seamlessly against my skin I take a 34DD in strapless bras!

HANKY PANKY ORIGINAL RISE THONG

This has been my go-to underwear for YEARS! most comfortable lace thong that comes in a fun selection of colors. It’s a one-size-fits-most style, but they also have a plus size one-size-fits-most available! I’ve amassed a bunch of the colors, but my most-worn are definitely the nude/beige options. Find some prints and colors in the #NSALE here!

NATORI T-SHIRT/EVERYDAY BRAS

If you’ve never tried Natori bras, you’re missing out! So flattering and comfortable. I have several styles, but my favorites right now are this one and this one. Both are just great everyday bras! There are also a few of her bras in the #NSALE, including this style and this style!

HANKY PANKY RETRO THONG

This style was introduced to me last year by one of my readers during the #NSALE and has quickly become a favorite of mine! As someone with a long torso and who enjoys wearing high-rise jeans and skirts, the Hanky Panky Retro Thongs are a game-changer. In addition to just having a higher rise than the Original listed above, they feature one wide panel of fabric for keeping things seamless and smooth under your clothes. I’m obsessed! There are a couple of fun colors available in the #NSALE here.

NIKE SWOOSH SPORTS BRA

I have a number of sports bras by a variety of brands, but my very favorite is actually the classic Nike Swoosh Sports Bra. It’s supportive enough for BBG, OrangeTheory and FlyWheel, but not so supportive it’s ugly. I love how many colors there are to choose from too! I wear a medium. If you’re looking for something even more supportive though, you can’t miss this bra. Your boobs will. not. move.

COMMANDO BUTTER STRETCH MODAL THONG

If you’re looking for a thong that will make it look like you’re wearing nothing, this is the one for you. It is raw cut (no seams!), elastic-free and eliminates digs, bulges and all panty lines. Super flattering and practically invisible under all clothing fabrics! Great for wearing under silk, satin and other thin fabrics!

HALOGEN SEAMLESS TANK BRA

I’m someone who really doesn’t enjoy going braless. Even at home or when I’m sleeping! I like to have some kind of layer on my chest between my boobs and my pajamas. Maybe that’s weird, but that’s just how I roll. Because I don’t want to wear a stiff underwire bra to bed or when lounging around the house, I love seamless bras like this! They’re super comfortable and lightweight, and offer me just the right touch of support.

COMMANDO HALF SLIP

With summertime comes more sheer, lightweight fabrics. I always like to have a slip on hand and always pack one when I travel to wear under semi-sheer dresses and skirts! This Commando Half Slip is a great choice – I have the small, but I feel like it’s actually a little big on me. I’d size down if you don’t want it to move around a lot!

SPANX POWER CONCEAL HIGH-WAIST SHORT SHAPER

If you thought I wasn’t going to talk about shapewear, you’d be wrong! While I generally don’t wear fitted dresses or fabrics that require shapewear these days, for special occasions where I want to look my best (like the wedding I’m in this weekend) I pull out my handy dandy Spanx. It’s a brand I’ve worn for years and trust to keep things where they’re supposed to be, smooth out imperfections and hopefully make my outfits more flattering on my hippy figure!
