Creating a basic woman's underwear wardrobe

Every woman has a wardrobe. It starts off basic and grows from there. A woman's wardrobe consists of more than just skirts, dresses, slacks and blouses. Underwear is very important.  Once upon a time,  one piece of undergarment may have fit every woman and every occasion but that day is long gone. A basic woman's underwear wardrobe is the foundation of the well-dressed woman.

Today’s well-dressed woman has an underwear wardrobe just as extensive as her outerwear wardrobe. It has to start with a few basic pieces and from that, a wardrobe can be built.

~Bras

The bra is a basic of any woman’s underwear wardrobe. White and black are the core colors for woman’s bras but flesh color is necessary to wear under blouses and shirts that are sheer. The type of bra will be determined by the breast size of the woman. At least one bra needs to be of a material that will provide the coverage necessary to wear under a tee shirt, no matter what the temperature. A bra with extra support works well for large breasted women and a demi-cup or push up bra is the perfect basic for a smaller chested woman.

The basic bra wardrobe should start with at least four bras.

A tee shirt bra

A dress bra

A sports bra

An adjustable strap bra

~Panties

Panties are another staple of a basic underwear wardrobe. First be sure your panties fit correctly. Ill fitting panties will show through clothing and the look is not attractive. It doesn’t matter if you like thongs, bikinis, hipsters or full panties, if you see the panty line, it is wrong.

White and black are the basic panty colors. Flesh color is also a good choice since it is not visible through even the sheerest material. The basic panty wardrobe should include:

A pair of white and or black

A pair of flesh color

A pair of support panties

A pair of no line panties

~Spanx

With the new sheer and clinging fabrics, Spanx is a woman’s best friend. These are underwear but they go over your traditional underwear to keep everything together and to avoid the jiggle that any extra flesh can provide. It isn’t just for heavier woman, every woman has some curves that can take away from that perfect sleek and polished look and Spanx provides a tiny bit of extra support.

~Camisole

A camisole is a light weight undergarment that is worn underneath a sheer blouse or shirt. The basic wardrobe will have at least one and the color will be determined by the blouse it is to be worn with.

~Slip

A slip is the perfect undergarment to wear with a shirt or a dress especially if the skirt or dress is made of a sheer or clinging material. The basic colors are white, black and flesh colored. The basic slip wardrobe consists of:

A full slip

A half slip

A basic woman's underwear wardrobe for the modern woman is not all that basic and if you happen to enjoy fashion colors, you can end up with quite a collection of beautiful and way beyond basic underwear. Whether you are a Victoria’s Secret angel or a Walmart gal, you can have your basics and much more at prices that the average woman can afford.
