WHERE’S YOURS?
When a woman says to me, “I’m not the type for lingerie,” I say, “There is no type.” Because, put simply, my philosophy is, Dress in a way that would make someone want to undress you. Even if that someone exists only in your imagination. I mean it. Rather than hiding yourself, take what you’ve got and work it. The excuse that it’s not your thing just doesn’t work with me; there are simply too many styles to choose from.

Lots of women’s magazines have little quizzes and charts that claim to reveal your personal style. While such formulas might apply to regular clothing, I don’t buy any of them when it comes to lingerie. Lingerie is more about mood and occasion. Does the circumstance warrant sophisticated, sultry, or sweet? It depends on what you feel like at any given moment. People are always curious about die women who wear various types of lingerie. They want to know who actually buys the racy items that make the average shopper blush. Well, it could be anyone. I’ve also been asked on occasion to speculate about the land of lingerie а certain woman is wearing. The truth is, you never can tell. There is no direct correlation between a woman’s panties and her personality or outward appearance. She might have a specific style that she thinks is more “her,” but there’s plenty of crossover. A preppy woman isn’t necessarily going to wear basic white cotton briefs with her plaids and penny loafers. You can’t judge a book by its cover. The pages inside (or the panties underneath!) can be entirely different from the jacket. In my experience, most women wear a mix.
The majority of us are attracted to many different styles of clothes—which may explain those purchases that live, tags still attached, deep in the closet. It’s harder to deviate much from your general style in outward dressing than it is in “under” dressing. When you wear lingerie you have one of two scenarios: Either nobody will see you, letting you safely play out your fantasies and fetishes, or you’ll show that side of you to a person of your choosing. It’s a more private way to indulge your many fashion facets.
Some of the women who come into my store—the doctors, lawyers, and professors—are ones you’d expect might be more conservative. As I said before: not necessarily. These powerful, successful women are wearing sexy stuff underneath those suits! Because they often have to desexualize themselves outwardly in order to be respected in the workplace, they like to soften up what they wear underneath. It’s their way of feeling feminine—an attribute whose concealment is, unfortunately, sometimes a better career move. Here’s an extreme example, but she was one of my favorite clients—a judge who bought crotchless panties. I just love the image of юг sitting on the bench wearing the black robe with her air-conditioned underwear underneath!
The point is, lingerie is meant to make you feel fabulous, however you define it. A black lace bra is equally appropriate on a twenty-year-old in tight jeans as it is on a seventy-year-old in a sweater set. Sure, some styles are younger and trendier, with sassy sayings and funky prints, but those are only a few. For the most part, once puberty is behind you, there’s no need to worry that lingerie isn’t meant for someone your age. Anything goes! And it’s never too late to start. Even if you’ve been doing it wrong all along, you can recover quickly, easily, and enjoyably. Unlike other transformations that might require grueling effort and countless hours at the gym (or in the therapist’s office), a complete overhaul of your underthings can be achieved in a single weekend. Instant gratification, for both body and brain! Get ready to take the first step in turning around your lingerie life.
