Women Say Baggy Isn't Cool

Baggy (adjective) - baglike; droopy; hanging loosely

Baglike? Droopy? Those are two words I don't want people to immediately think of when they see me walking down the street. Especially droopy -- do I need to explain why that's an unattractive adjective?

Maybe it worked for MC Hammer and his parachute pants (temporarily!), but baggy is out. In a recent Cosmo survey, over 55% of women say too many men wear big, bulky sweaters and baggy pants. They want to "see a hint of what's underneath".

This doesn't mean go out and buy a bunch of tight spandex shirts and biker shorts -- the key word is "hint". They just want a general idea of what's under the hood without you broadcasting it through a mesh muscle shirt.

As for jeans, the same rule applies. Women said they don't like the huge elephant pants, but they don't want you strutting around in body-hugging pleather pants either. Go for something in between that is snugger around the waist and upper legs, but still has room for movement. The best thing you can do is take your girlfriend or a female friend with you when shopping. They will appreciate that you value their opinion, and they will know what looks great on you, before you buy something that isn't quite up to par.

Now, for those of you who haven't quite got into revealing shape just yet (you're working on it though, right?), you can still stick to the slightly looser fitting options. Just use this as even more motivation to get in shape. Imagine being able to look great in just jeans and a $2 T-shirt, simply because of the subtle physique she can picture underneath.

So, unless you plan on bulking up and putting on about 25 pounds of muscle to fill out all those trash bags in your closet, toss them, and go get some clothes that actually fit.

Making a Fashion Statement With Lingerie

Before the 80's, people were outraged to see private (read: lingerie) items in public view, whether on display in a store or as part of an outfit worn openly. Today, lingerie is no longer just women's undergarments but a fashion statement catering to every need and every woman, small or large. We are no longer restricted to black, white or beige colors. Lingerie now comes decorated with sequins, fur, feathers, fringe, and exquisite lace just begging to be shown off. No more ugly corsets and gussets to compress and hide a woman's assets. Lingerie has become a fully fledged member of the fashion establishment. It has become an everyday staple and women like to update it as often as they update their clothes. We are no longer confined to wearing sexy lingerie on "special occasions" only. And while the majority of sexy lingerie wearing divas are in their twenties and thirties, the range actually goes from sixteen to fifty-five years old! Lingerie is now seen as a much wanted gift and you can even buy lingerie for your mama.

Today we probably see as much lingerie peeking out from under women's clothes as is hidden underneath. We no longer have panty lines thanks to these tiny strips of cloth called thongs that sneak out above the waistband of our favorite pair of low rider jeans. Hot colors and bold patterns now peep through lightweight material to show sneaky glimpses of what is underneath. Choosing and displaying lingerie has become exciting. The combinations and possibilities are endless. Based on her selection, a woman may allow her feminine side to radiate through, her sexy and temptress side to play, or her innocent side to shimmer. A woman should select her lingerie each day based on what side of herself she wants to dramatize.

Bras certainly mirror fashion trends. There is a bra for every occasion. You wear a sports bra to play tennis, another style to go to work, and a different one to go out on the town. There is literally a bra to match all of your outfits. If you are into this season's colors, there is no doubt that you'll find just the right bra set that will match. Fashion divas are now realizing that innerwear changes the way their outer clothing looks. A clingy tee shirt needs a different bra than a regular blouse.

Lingerie is designed for comfort, concealment, or seduction. The comfort of a woman's undergarments is essential. Lingerie is the garment that lies closest to a woman's body, determining how a woman feels. A woman is converted as she puts on her undergarments. Her feminine side comes to the forefront and takes charge of how she feels about herself. No longer does a woman need to hide her underwear, but rather, it is acceptable to flaunt it. After all, the styles today are quite appealing. Whether a woman is trying to enhance what she has or underplay what she has but doesn't want, lingerie has been designed to do what needs to be done. A woman wants to look her best and is willing to try almost anything to glamorize her appearance.

The knack of wearing lingerie is not a difficult one to learn. Discover what styles fit you best - physically and sensually. Combine this with the colors and patterns that you enjoy. Fill your lingerie wardrobe with a variety of styles. Choose carefully, purchase wisely, and wear proudly.
