Video Review: French lingerie is the ultimate anti-ager!

A few months ago, I was invited to a fall 2008 French lingerie evening to view the upcoming collections from some of the top French brands.

It’s so crucial to wear the right underwear because the reality is that the foundation to any wardrobe is your underwear. If you have larger breasts or if you had kids, it’s imperative that you get a bra fitting in order to wear the proper size bra that will not only give you support, but also ensure that your clothing falls as it should.

The same applies to your undergarments. Nothing can ruin a nice dress or a nice skirt faster than an undergarment that can be seen from 10 kilometres away or worse an undergarment that spends most of its time fitting in an uncomfortable position that forces you to constantly pull and tug at it.

Another reason why women should mind their underwear is because there is something quite sensual about nice feminine lingerie that brings out the vixen in all of us and the truth is that sexy underwear will boost our confidence and make us feel good about ourselves … even if no one else will see them. Any time you boost your “feel good” hormones, you are adding years to your life!

The French have always given underwear the place it deserves and have always made it as important as anything else you put on in the morning.

A mistake so many women make is to hold on to old underwear for far too long because they are “comfortable” and they cease to understand why clothing doesn’t look good when they try it on. The equation is quite simple = underwear can make or break anything you wear.

Another huge mistake is to keep “sexy” underwear for “special” occasions … life IS a special occasion and I think it’s a crime to walk around during the week in dated and loose underwear when you could be walking around in something that makes you feel incredibly attractive.

Take a lesson from the fashion pages of French women and buy something pretty for the week.

I’ve created a quick video showing you the latest trends from France in the world of lingerie.

You’ll notice that sexy lingerie is not only black and just like in the world of fashion, French lingerie designers are using colour to add a bit of vibrancy and fun to our underwear drawer.

The French Lingerie Fall 2008 fashion show featured the following brands:  Aubade Paris, Barbara Paris, Chantelle Paris (which has recruited Stephanie Seymour as their new face), Lise Charmel, Elixir de lingerie, Empreinte, Gerbe, Huit Lingerie, Simone Perele, Passionata, Rosy and Legaby.

These are brands that can easily be found today in either high end department stores of small lingerie boutiques across Canada and the U.S..

If you’ve always shied away from buying nice and maybe a little more expensive underwear, I hope this video will inspire you to change your ways:
