There are outfits and occasions that call for undergarments that are practical and supportive above all else, and it's at these times that I reach for my favorite nude Calvin Klein bras. Other times, much to our grandmother's dismay, our undergarments have become as much a part of our outfit as the clothing we wear over them. This is where the Urban Outfitters Lace Triangle Bralette comes into play. This is the kind of bra you want to wear for the sole purpose of peeping out of low-cut tops and scooped armhole tanks. I've actually checked out more than one girl on street walk buy in this bra, and a few of my girlfriends swear by it. It's feminine, delicate, and lacy, but provides just enough coverage to be confident you won't over-expose yourself in your loose fitting tops. While the bralette comes in the usual nude and black, I suggest going for the bold chartreuse or ravenscourt (raspberry) to provide a funky contrast color to your outfits. Of course, the first blush and nude would both look amazing paired with fall's blacks, navys and greens and are also great for when you are trying to keep your undergarments incognito. Good thing these are only $16.00 each, because it looks like I may need to stock up in every color! Indecision, my wallet's worst nightmare...

Fashionistas Have Sweet Dreams in Vintage Lingerie

The term lingerie comes from the Old French linge, which referred to scandalous underclothes. Though the term was not in widespread use until the 1850s, the history of lingerie itself started centuries earlier, back in ancient Egypt around 3000 BC. And while the choice for men may center around something as simple as boxers or briefs, we women have so much more to consider: peignoirs, chemises, nighties, camisoles, slips, crinolines and teddies -- both racy and demure. Now we gals know that buying luxurious lingerie is not necessarily practical, but we also know that this form of self-indulgence can have a subconscious impact on the way we look and feel -- even if no one gets to witness our underpinnings. So choose one of these beauties from past decades and bring on some sweet dreams. Just click the slideshow to see the selection.
