For many of us, panties were the very first piece of lingerie we ever tried on. Who can resist a pair of pretty panties? There are so many options to choose from... panties with ruffles, panties with bows, pretty lace on the edging, satin, silk, cotton... and of course, there are so many shades of pink to wear and patterns and styles to choose from. Panties were the first piece of lingerie I bought when I started to build my wardrobe and are still my favorite thing to shop for.
But by now your drawer is probably filled with pink panties, sexy thongs, and panties with pretty flowers patterned on them. So...what's next? I like to think that panties are a gateway lingerie, the first step to creating a beautiful wardrobe of pretty things to wear under our clothes (or in the bedroom!). It's completely normal for us to crave new pretty things to wear, but what should you wear next? I'm glad you asked!
For some of us, the natural next step is buying a bra. Although, there is nothing sexier than a matching bra and panty, I would recommend first picking out some camisoles. Camisoles are tops that usually have thin spaghetti straps that are available in a variety of fabric, colors and patterns. You can find a cami with sexy lacy edging, camis made of irresistible satin and camis covered in flirty polka-dots. Camis are amazing to wear under a work shirt...a sexy secret only you know about. They're also perfect for lounging in or for sleeping. Camis are also pretty undetectable under clothes and are ideal for adding a little more femininity to your day. Everyone needs a few matching cami/panty sets.
Another favorite piece of lingerie are bodysuits. Bodysuits come in a variety of fabrics... mesh, satin and lace. Bodysuits look sexy and more importantly, they feel sexy. They're perfect for wearing under our boring work clothes and for nightwear. My favorite Xdress bodysuit is the Daisy Mesh Bodysuit. No one can resist the touch of mesh and a pretty daisy pattern that just adds the perfect girly touch. If you are looking to start your day in an amazing way, it doesn't get better than waking up in this feminine bodysuit.
If you still want more beautiful lingerie in your wardrobe (and who doesn't?), it's time to add the most feminine thing you can wear...a bra. Of course, why stop at just one bra? There are so many options to choose from. In my lingerie dresser (yes, I have a full dresser!) I have bras for every occasion. Certain bras are needed for certain outfits, whether I need a push-up bra or a strapless one or one of a certain color. And of course, every bra needs a matching panty. You'll need bras that are sensible and functional, but everyone needs sexy bras, too. My absolute favorite matching set that Xdress sells is the Champagne Pink Ruffle Bra and matching tanga. You'll love how you'll look in a matching set.
Finally, once you've added camis, bodysuits and bras to your lingerie wardrobe (see how it quickly you can fill an entire dresser?), it's time to add the cherry to the sundae with stockings and garter belts. Nothing says sexy like a pair of sheer black stockings held by a lacy garter belt... even better when the garter belt matches your bra and panty. Stockings come in a variety of options and trust me, you'll want and need them all. I have an entire drawer dedicated to stockings and I have stockings for every occasion. Hold-ups, seamed stockings, and the ultimate in sexiness, fishnets. If you're looking to feel your sexiest, whether in the bedroom or under your three piece suit, you can't go wrong with a matching bra, panty and garter belt.
Have fun building your lingerie wardrobe! And please tell us, what is your favorite sexy thing to wear?
Love,
Hannah

Hi Keri, I know exactly what you mean! Sleeping in a nightgown is amazing. Pink, ribbons and bows are amazing
Love, Hannah
Hannah,
You are so right. I just love waking up in a pretty nylon nightie. I really do not understand why more guys don’t enjoy them. Actually I do. Men are so conditioned to what they believe is feminine and what is not. If guys would try wearing a night gown for a week, even less, I know they would convert. They don’t have to go totally feminine with a gown, just something basic. However, I for one want mine to be as feminine and girlie as available. Give me pink, lace and ribbons and I let my feminine side enjoy.
By the way I enjoy wearing camis. However, my wife prefers that I do not. She has this fear someone will see the lace thru my shirt or get a peek thru the button gaps. I can and do get away with a plain basic nylon cami now and then.

Hi Ricky! Thanks for sharing! A cute matching cami and panty set is the perfect thing to wear under a boring suit. Have you tried pairing it with a pair of thigh-high stockings?
Love, Hannah
Well, since you asked, my favorite sexy thing to wear is satin panties, of course. I also love to wear satin camisoles and half-slips, or even full slips, and stockings under my shirt and tie and slacks when possible. I have some bras that I really love too. (The first several bras I bought weren’t that comfortable, but I found some that I really love.) When possible I love wearing a skirt or dress with heels. Unfortunately, that is not very often, but I love to when I can.
Hi Opw, sounds like you have an amazing wife (and lingerie collection!)
Love, Hannah
