Why is it that so many of us never put thought into our undergarments? They are just as important, and can be just as beautiful as anything else we put on. Yet our culture has taken us from a time of custom-made lace slips and seamed thigh-high stockings to one-size-fits-all boxers and briefs.
I have a few beautiful nightgowns and some adorable tap sets that my mom has given me over the years. Not only are they beautiful, but they are functional and I love to wear them as my little secret under dresses, especially in the winter as an extra warm layer.
I just wish we could all put a little more care into the things we put on our body, beyond our jeans and t-shirts. For instance, I try to wear yoga clothes to my yoga practice rather than sweats because I think it helps me focus. I also like wearing proper pajamas to bed (even though I love lounging in a comfortable pair of lacrosse shorts) because it makes me feel like sleep is more of an occasion. I hope men’s pajamas catch back on — they are so handsome!
I’ve read 2 or 3 of your articles and thought I had to to say I enjoy your style and the opinions you share here. Have a nice one ;)
