Today, I’m talking about underwear from the perspective that most people ask the question–what’s the best fitting underwear for my shape, and secondly, how to find underwear that is flattering under clothes–no lumps or bumps, and no weird lines. If you have NO idea where to start with size and style, go to a place like Soma, or Victoria’s Secret where you can try a bunch of different styles and sizes and experiment until you find the combination.

These two can often be grouped together, because really, the differences in the body shapes are up top, where underwear advice doesn’t apply.Classic briefs are actually a great fit for most hourglasses and pears, but again, make sure the leg opening is generous.

My favorite J Jill wearever pants are pretty fitted in the rear–one reason I love them, but I need to wear underwear underneath them with a little more slip so the pants don’t stick to them and bunch.

Under dresses, or special occasions maybe, and you know I love my high- waist shaping tights, but for every day, I personally prefer comfort with a little bit of a gentle hug.

You may end up with a lingerie drawer that looks very different from someone who wants full coverage and comfort. I always feel like my advice to rectangles is kind of a cop-out, because I often can’t give specific advice like I can with the other shapes.It could be because you’re wearing the right style, but the wrong size, or it could be you need a style with more coverage–like a hipster instead of a bikini.

Others might say, I don’t care how unsexy these underwear are, they make the clothes I’m wearing look better, and you know what? Some of you might say, I don’t care how they look under my white skinny jeans, I’m wearing string bikini underwear no matter what! Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. I got a set of five (peaches, sunshine, blue dots, foliage, and white) and they’re all so cute and comfortable!

I know it’s not fun to spend a lot on things few people will see, but good underwear, just like good bras, will change the way your wardrobe looks and feels. Underwear wears out faster than any other item in your wardrobe, but over the years, I’ve noticed they get updated and upgraded less often. If you’re comfortable going super low rise, go for it, but anything in the middle will likely just fall or roll down.
