Welcome to Such Savvy Style

 

It’s here already…SPRING!!  And spring clothing is everywhere.  Although here in CA we have been having 70 degree plus weather almost daily a lot of places around the country are still digging out of snow.  Well, whatever your weather, spring clothing is here so it’s time to talk about what’s popular.  What I will say is that everything seems to be "on trend".  If you like it, you almost have free range to wear it.  The other thing that stood out to me on the runway was that there were a lot of darker almost fall like colors showing.  It will be interesting to see if runway trend shows up in the stores.  So here we go….

5 Reasons
your underwear Doesn’t Fit
Ok ladies, I know this has happened to you at least once in your life.  You leave the house and realize your underwear is sliding down, bunching up, creating panty lines or just down right uncomfortable!  Here are a few reasons you might be having a problem with your undies. 

 

1.  You are wearing the wrong type of underwear for your body.   

 

Solution: There’s more than one style of underwear – wear the type that fits your body best.   You may need to get professional help to figure that out.

 

2.  It’s too tight or too small

 

Solution: Know your size and buy the right size.  If you don’t know your size, get properly fitted.  Wearing a panty that is too small will create bulging, lumps and bumps.  Wearing underwear that is too big will cause them to slip and slide.    

 

3.  Your underwear is old or shot. 

Solution: Replace it regularly.  Your panties have an expiration date – roughly the same as your bras (72 wears).  Now, ladies I know some of you may have a very favorite pair but if they are old they will only be YOUR favorite pair.  To others it will look tattered and it will not fit you properly.   

 

4.  It’s the wrong material for the outfit.

Solution: Some outfits need shape wear or a seamless smooth material to fit smoothly under fabrics to reduce friction or keep lines from showing.  How many times have you seen a thong or other kind of panty underneath a pair of white pants?!?  Yikes, not a good look at all.  Make sure you are not able to see your panty lines in the pants you are wearing…no matter what their color.   

 

5.   Too many embellishments (bows, rhinestones) can show through clothing and create lumps and bumps.   

   

Solution:  Keep sexy panties in the bedroom or under clothing  where it won’t show.  We all have fun underwear but let’s face it, the rest of the world doesn’t want to see the bumps from your rhinestones panties.
