Your mother may have told you to always wear a fresh pair, but I doubt she told you what to wear to impress the ladies (or gentlemen). No matter who you’re showing your undies off to, one thing is for certain: what you wear on the inside can make or break you when it comes to first impressions. Here are a few recommendations from a gal who has seen it all and expects you guys to know better.

	Calvin Klein Steel Micro Low Rise Trunk Not only is this trunk from Calvin Klein super comfortable, but it looks sexy too. The edgy design and low-rise makes it perfect for peeking out the top of skinny jeans. Plus, I love to wear them too!
	Bjorn Borg Fun Stretch Printed Trunk 085-10-2105 This one is a winner boys. Bjorn Borg definitely knows how to use prints and colors so you can show off your fun side. This classic black and white trunk has an allover trophies print that will win you the gold medal of love.
	C-IN2 Bold Stripe Profile Brief 1603B I hope you’re not afraid of color because chicks dig it. This C-IN2 profile brief has a sophisticated cut and print that is bold but not too loud. And the body-conscious fit will guarantee all eyes are on you.
	Emporio Armani 3-Pack Boxer Brief 110869 Don’t you dare attempt to wear boxer shorts around your lady (or man for that matter)! If you insist on undies with longer legs, try this boxer brief from Emporio Armani. It looks classic without a touch of sloppy. And this 3-pack is a great value!
	Ginch Gonch Boys and Toys Bikes Low Rise Brief 1136BTB Having a sense of humor makes you much more fun to be around. What better way to show it off than with these playful Ginch Gonch briefs? All the girls will think you’re super cute! Can you say crush material?
	2xist Essentials No Show Trunk B1033 Be a simple kind of man. Having chic, everyday basics like this 2xist trunk will prove you’re not trying to be more fashionable than she is. Super soft with a body-conscious fit, you’ll have her coming back for more once she sees you in these. Go for sexy in basic black.

Hey ladies. Why get bra recommendations from a fellow female when you can get them from a fellow? Guys know what a woman looks good in (just as well as anyone else); the motives for the choice may be different, but they’re still reliable picks. Plus, in many circumstances, you are trying to impress the man (or significant other) in your life anyway, so why not get his (or my) opinion. Here are the bras I think a woman should have to look sexy, but that are still practical and wearable every day (yes, I said practical, you should still be comfortable).

	Le Mystere Dream Tisha Lace Bra 965 Why? These bras are one of Oprah’s favorites for a reason – the compliment any woman’s form, while not being too frilly. I love a woman that is feminine but not over the top. This fits the bill.
	Elle Macpherson intimates Procession Contour Bra E72-700 Why? The dainty small ribbon and accents around the cup are really sexy. Wear this and he’ll swoon. Plus the contrasting colors keep it fresh (and him interested).
	Wacoal Luxe Femme Fatale Push-Up Bra 55834 Why? It says it all in the name. This will push-up the girls and knock him out cold.
	Le Mystere Sculptural Strapless Push-Up Bra 2755 Why? A strapless dress on a woman, obviously, shows off more skin and but also lets him know you’re confident about your figure. I say if you have the sex appeal, flaunt it.
	b.tempt’d by Wacoal Sheer Brilliance Underwire Bra 951120 Why? It’s sheer enough to make him have to look more than once, but opaque enough that he never sees anything. He’ll be putty. Plus, it’s designed to wear all-day in total comfort. You win twice over with this one.
	Wacoal Luxe Amazing Lace Push-Up Bra 55847 Why? Growl. Ridiculously hot and flatters your figure like no other.
	Calvin Klein Perfectly Fit Tailored Push-Up Bra F3001 Why? You don’t need all the bells & whistles. The clean line & simple styling does the trick.

All-in-all, any bra can give you a surge of confidence while making him weak in the knees. My main word of caution? Be sure you’re wearing the right size – there’s nothing worse than a woman with a bulge. Leave that for him.

Dear Layla,

Ms. Perfect but Pinched

Dear Ms. Perfect,

I have no doubt that your curves are fabulous, so I can’t help but wonder why you are wearing your bra so tight that you’re wrapping yourself like a sausage? Here’s my advice, your curves should be cupped not clenched in, hugged not dug in, and smoothed but not smothered. A properly fitting bra does not bind you so tight that it leaves marks. My guess is that you are tightening the straps or the band to compensate for an ill fitting situation with size.

I recommend making sure you are wearing the right size first. For instructions on how to get the proper fit, visit Freshpair’s Fit and Size Guide for Women.

Will you do an exercise for me? Take a look at yourself in the mirror, do the cups on the bra look like they sit away from your skin when your straps are loosened? If they do you are tightening the straps to compensate for cup size. If not, it might be the style of bra that you are wearing. You need to look at bras that have a wider strap, if the strap is 1/4″ thick and you have anything larger than a C, you’re putting all the weight of those puppies on that one little 1/4″ spot on your shoulder. No wonder they’re not thanking you at the end of the day!

Thicker straps can help alleviate some of the digging as well as clear up any discoloration. If you don’t mind trying bras with a thicker strap, here are some that I suggest:

Awareness Soft Cup Bra 85276 by Wacoal This style from Wacoal features a nice soft cup with no underwire as well as a padded strap.	Beautiful Benefits Minimizer with Lace Details Bra 75-070 by Vanity Fair For more substantial straps, try this style from Vanity Fair with pretty lace detail.
Smoothing Cup Bra 4500 by Fantasie Seamless and supportive, this style by Fantasie might fit the bill for you as far as support. The wider straps along with the proper size should minimize the digging in effect.	Satin Edge Lined Underwire Bra 35089 by Olga For an elegant and understated statement, try this style from Olga. The sleek straps coupled with the soft cup lining won’t irritate the skin or dig into your shoulders.

Here is another exercise I want you to try: can you fit two fingers in between the band and your skin comfortably? If you can fit more than two fingers between you and your band, then your band is too loose. On the other side, if you can’t fit two, you need to loosen it up.

This may also be another reason why you are tightening your straps. If the tension around your body is not strong enough or is too strong you might be throwing the engineering of your bra off balance! It is really important to get the combination right for a proper fit. For more fitting tips and tricks take a look at Freshpair’s Fit and Size Guide.

It really is about finding the right size in combination with a bra that has the right features to support your body and breast type properly. I hope these options work for you! Happy hunting, Ms. Perfect!

xo,
Layla
