From seamless underwear to boy shorts, Katha Nauriyal tells you about some staples that you need to stock up on in your panty drawer
The key to looking good is to feel comfortable inside out. And, what’s underneath your clothes plays a big role! With an array of options readily available from lingerie brands across the city, you can slip into different underwear styles every day. Here are a few must-haves for different outfits. Pick them according to how comfortable you want to feel in the outfit that you’re sporting!
Nudes
To save you from the terror of white or translucent bottoms peeping through your clothes, nude panties are your best bet! Contrary to what people believe, nude panties are available in different shades, so make sure that you pick a pair to match your skin tone. This piece is available in a bra and panty combination called the Nude Seamless Set at Marks & Spencer for Rs 3,677.
Hipster briefs
Hipster briefs are lightweight, breathable and cotton-infused. They also save you from embarrassing waistline marks! This Penny Plus Stretch Cotton
Mid-Waist Hipster Brief (pack of 2), available on Zivame.com for an affordable Rs 345 is a great buy!
Seamless panties
Seamless panties are the perfect no-show underwear! They’re an essential in your collection because they conceal panty lines that are visible through your clothing. Since they are usually made of comfortable, stretchy fabrics, they are a good option for bodycon dresses and fitted bottoms. You can pick up this Amante Silicon Floss Panty, from Cilory.com for Rs 495.
A sexy pair
A sexy pair of panties can make you feel confident and more desirable. Make sure to pick one that accentuates your curves, and team it with an equally sultry bra. Marks & Spencer’s Rosie Collection for Rs 2,475 is a great option and includes a bra that saves you the hassle of mix and match.
Boy shorts
Most women love boy shorts because they are perfect to wear when you want to lounge in an over-sized t-shirt! Providing you with complete coverage, they have a comfortable fit, and can be worn under pretty much all your outfits. These Boy Short Knickers, available at Marks & Spencer for Rs 1,390, add a sexy quotient to comfort wear.
Cheekies
A pair of fabulous cheekies or cheeksters can add a little spunk to your panty collection. They have the same sexy style of a thong, but are more comfortable and provide just enough coverage. We love this Penny Lace Embrace Cheeky Brief Orange with Beige pair, available at Zivame.com for Rs 499. And, if you want to add some more colour, the Penny Lace Embrace Cheeky Brief Multi, Zivame.com for Rs 499 will fit the bill perfectly!
