Last week, as I was doing my weekly Target walk-through, I discovered quite possibly The World's Best Underwear. I immediately bought a pair to test drive and discovered that they were, in fact, truly fantastic. These underwear are particularly great because they somehow manage to bridge the gap between sexy and comfortable - and that is not an easy gap to bridge, friends!
Of course, a girl should have many a weapon in her panty arsenal, for every imaginable occasion. Like what sorts of occasions?

Comfy underwear for the steampunk in all of us. Probably best worn under that cute black petticoat you thrifted, while drinking absinthe and reading dirty Russian literature. Or on a trip to Ikea. Either or.
Best worn under sweats and with a wifebeater sheer with age. Good for overcast Sundays spent lounging around the house, indulging your sweet tooth and trying to beat your roommate at Resident Evil 5.

These beauts are just made for that vintage dress your grandma gave you - the one that fits like a second skin. Obviously, they need to be coupled with a filmy slip (a lady never goes without!), an oddly pointy bra and seamed stockings. Then you should probably make a dirty martini and drink it while smoking a veeeeerrrry long cigarette.

These lacy little numbers bring out the racy lady in all of us. You should probably wear them (and only with them) and a pair of feathered mules as you teeter around your apartment on your day off. After nibbling on some Ben and Jerry's, make a list of everyone you've ever kissed and what you found attractive about them.
What kind of underwear do you rock? And have you found the perfect pair that we need to know about?

Gap brand cotton thongs with lace trim. I buy them by the BUSHEL.
ReplyDeleteLikewise, Express' cotton thongs are like those Target ones, and they often go on sale. Helllooo, ten pair for 25 bucks!
ReplyDeleteI just like the high cut briefs from the Gap. They're no frills, but extra comfy.
ReplyDeleteI'm still trying to find the perfect panty for me - I think they may be Hanky Panky thongs, but I haven't gotten a chance to try any yet.
ReplyDeleteFor me really brightly-colored boyshorts (just bought a pair of rainbow ones *glee*) for everyday does the trick! While something a bit sheer with ruffles and bows (frenchknickers!) when it's time to show off a bit ;)
ReplyDeletethis might sound so racy of me, but i have these pairs of victoria's secret mesh cheekers in SERIOUSLY every color of the rainbow - pink, orange, yellow, lime green, blue, purple, and black. they feel so good under like, everything - loves them.
ReplyDeleteand being that lolita is definitely one of my all-time favorite novels (and as an english lit major i have read ridiculous amounts) - i feel compelled to point out that though nabokov was a russian exile - lolita is DEFINITELY an american novel.
My favorite are these string bikini ones by Hanes. They're so cute but super comfy. And even sexy. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41dpkDGam2L._AA280_.jpg
ReplyDeleteI have had a Gilligan & O'Malley lined white microfiber tank for about 8 years!! Not only has it lasted this long, it's comfy, silky, and infinitely useful when I need to cover my boobage for teaching kiddies. Never thought to check out the their line of undies--will put it on my list.
ReplyDeletehehe, saucy post. I am all about Calin Klien underwear for the last 10 years atleast, it is the best!
ReplyDeleteI adore boy shorts for the way they look on me- the way they ride up is slightly unappealing though. Basically, anything in bright colors, pastels, or featuring ruffles, lace, bows or buttons wins me over! There's nothing more confidence boosting than knowing that underneath it all, you look damn cute. Especially if you have a matching bra and panties! I always keep in mind that I should look decent in case I get hit by a bus and a paramedic needs to rip my clothes off!!
ReplyDeleteI'm with andlaughing, those VS cheekies are my downfall!
ReplyDeleteoh hello, i love your blog!!
ReplyDeleteFluffy shoes + Ben & Jerry's = my kind of fun! :)
ReplyDeleteNew Best Ever (seriously. I challenge you.): aerie lace briefs
