How Lingerie Can Boost Your Confidence
It’s often been said that in order to look great, you have to feel great, and this is something that everyone can attest to. When we feel sexy, we exude this confidence that just makes us look good, and even if we’re just sitting around in our house clothes, this confidence can do wonders for us. Unfortunately, mass media can often prevent us from feeling this confidence, as they promote unrealistic expectations of the female form. Of course, every woman can feel beautiful and sexy, regardless of size, and one way to do this is by wearing the right lingerie.
Many women think that they can’t pull off lingerie, thanks mostly to the fact that most lingerie models we see these days are stick-thin. There are some names out there that have begun to change this, however. Plus-size supermodel Ashley Graham, a woman who has always spoken against body shaming and has transcended modeling and even designed her own line of lingerie, says that the trick to feeling good in lingerie is to wear what suits your body.
“As for sizing, honestly the majority of women are wearing the wrong size bra,” she tells fashion magazine Vogue. “The circumference of the bra is usually too big; if you are pulling your bra down in the back—it’s too big. If you are manually scooping your breasts back into the right position—the circumference is too big. If you have a muffin top, over the cup—it’s too small, and if your straps are falling down your shoulders—you need to tighten that. Those are common issues, and if any of those things are happening to you, you need to go get measured for a new bra.”
More than sizing, however, choosing the right style of lingerie is also important. These days, lingerie comes in all shapes and sizes. As explained by online fashion shopping aggregator Lyst, those who shop for lingerie can now choose from “bras, camisoles, thongs, boy shorts and panties in flirty lace, seductive satin, romantic silk and frothy tulle, plus stock up on seductive corsets, gift-worthy lingerie sets, bodysuits and everyday beautiful basics.” But how would one select the best style?
The trick is to figure out your body shape, and investing in the right kind of lingerie to compliment your body type is key. “Show off your best asset,” Ashley Graham tells the Huffington Post when asked about choosing lingerie. “Hopefully every woman has at least one thing they love about their body, so play it up. If you like your boobs, get a push up bra. If you hate your stomach, get a bustier, and start from there. A chemise is perfect for a girl who wants to cover up but still look sexy. Play around with what you like. Look in the mirror and really tell yourself you look good, don’t just wear it for your partner but wear it for yourself – that builds confidence.”

I hope the message of this post really does resonate with at least one of you.
Have a great Tuesday everyone!!
