The sexiest cotton undies—ever!
If you love designer underthings but are a cotton girl at
heart, then you'll go crazy for the bras, panties and camisoles from
the Simply collection, the line from La Perla Studio, known for racy,
high-end lingerie (think $100 thongs). The designs look basic, but
the high-quality cotton is supersoft and hugs your body. These
everyday treats are available in stock-your-closet prices (from $20
panties).
The lingerie revolution - Beauty & Style
WHETHER you're a CEO, secretary or social worker, you, too,
can take a walk on the sensual side with the latest looks in this
season's lingerie revolution. And with styles ranging from subtle to
scandalously striking to WOW, you're sure to find an alluring outfit
just for you.
One of the major results tit the lingerie revolution is that it has
brought undergarments out of the closet and the bedroom, and into
the mainstream. Dazzling lingerie can be seen on television, in
movies and videos, and on the fashion runways, and it is influencing
everyday wear. More to the point, perhaps, men are becoming
connoisseurs of lingerie, and some give their wives or special
friends lingerie for Valentine's Day.
Perhaps even more important is the fact that women are finding more
joy and more appreciation of themselves. A woman's lingerie not only
can change what her partner thinks about her but it can also change
what she thinks about herself.
The pictures above are a taste of what the lingerie revolution
offers: something foxy, something frilly and something fashionable
to help you find just the right lingerie that works for you.
Enticing intimate apparel, such as this peek-a-boo
Delicates black and red chemise set with thong panty from JC Penney,
will make you feel special at home. Supermodel Tyra Banks showcases
sizzling Victoria's Secret ensemble of bubblegum pink satin bra/panty

Underswear for Men
By Chris Rovnny
Do you remember when your mother would tell you to wear clean
underwear, just in case you got into an accident? I always thought
that if I were in an accident that warranted a visit to the hospital,
I'd still soil myself -- no matter how clean my skivvies were.
However, she was right about one thing: you must always wear nice
underwear. Cosmopolitan magazine believes that a man reveals secrets
about himself when wearing certain types of underwear. Personally,
my underwear is chosen according to comfort and style, but that's
just me, I guess. Nonetheless, there are "experts" who theorize
meaning behind your choice of underwear.
If the ladies in your life are anything like mine, then Cosmo is
basically their Bible, and from now on, you'll be under
cross-examination for the choices you make under your pants. Get the
scoop on briefs, boxers, boxer briefs, going commando, and the man's
bikini (or for the bolder gentlemen, the G-string).
Briefs
Tighty whities are symbols of our youth, and sporting them as adults
might indicate that we may not be ready to grow up. After all, it is
believed that some men are not ready to forget their inner child,
and settling down and getting serious are two things that usually
aren't at the top of their to-do list.
Personal experience dictates that briefs are losing their place
among the underwear elite. With the advent of boxer briefs and the
like, their popularity is decreasing. They are less comfortable than
their brethren, and are prone to wedgies (either the socially
induced or self-inflicted kind).
However, briefs still offer the consumer some advantages. They offer
much more support in the nether regions, which is beneficial in
sporting events (ever try running in boxers? Ouch!).
Boxers
This is probably the most conservative style of underwear on the
market. The "boxer guy" is usually a proponent of tradition and
enjoying his transformation into manhood, which doesn't necessarily
mean he's drab. Women like boxers because of their mystery factor.
All other undergarments are tighter and therefore more revealing
when it comes to what's between your legs. And you know how women
love surprises...
Boxers come in a variety of styles, colors and patterns that give
each pair its own personality. Check out BigHeaded.com for some cool
ones.
Nevertheless, at the risk of repeating myself, remember that it's
important to lose the boxers when going out to play sports. I made
the mistake of playing soccer in boxers; the end result was a voice
that could have doubled for Britney Spears.
Boxer briefs
Boxer briefs have become the underwear of choice. They combine the
best of both predecessors, offering the comfort and loose feel of
boxers, while providing some support with their brief-like design.
Men who wear boxer briefs are usually athletic in nature (besides,
if you have skinny legs, boxer briefs turn into boxers; nice
quadriceps are required). Fans of boxer briefs enjoy working out and
they usually pay extra attention to their appearance.
Women go crazy for those Calvin Klein ads featuring the washboard
abs and bulging quadriceps, and it's safe to say that the underwear
is part of the reason (although less of a reason than I choose to
believe).
Bikini
Tiny bikini underwear is gaining in prevalence simply because of
today's fashion trends. Modern clothing styles are tighter, and some
men want to keep their underwear lines hidden, just like women and
their thongs. These men don't want to leave anything to the
imagination, and want women to know exactly what's lurking under
there.
I personally wouldn't endorse bikini underwear, but some men say
that bikini underwear is great for clubbing, when you're dressed to
impress.
Commando
The underwear-less man is generally a free-spirited guy who is
rebellious, carefree and cocky (no pun intended). Curiosity led me
to experiment with what I like to call under-where. When I stepped
out commando, I felt a sense of freedom along with a strange sense
of empowerment.
There is one downfall to this: some women enjoy taking off a man's
clothes, layer by layer (kind of like unwrapping a gift). Going
commando lacks the element of surprise associated with a woman
unzipping your pants; she sees your soldier just standing there, at
attention.
Fashion file
This short examination of the meaning of underwear will surely be
helpful in determining what women think about when they see a man's
underwear. However, if you're anything like me, your choices aren't
made to make her happy, but to feel comfortable and good about
yourself -- ah, who am I kidding?
