NEW YEAR’S EVE, NEW YEAR’S DRESS One of the brilliant things about New Year’s Eve is it gives everyone a chance to dress in their finest. That’s the slinky black number you’ve been saving all year or the glittering gown with the plunging neckline. Well, when you go that glamorous, underthings really matter. For anything slinky and silhouette-clinging, foundation garments are the key. This might be a bra and underwear set, perfectly hugging so as not to make a line or seam visible. Or this might be a formal foundation garment that tucks and sucks and curves in all the right places. Foundation garments can fit chest to waist, waist to thigh or combinations in between. The right undergarment can easily make you look a size smaller. And for anything deep-plunging, the right bra is essential. You don’t want to experience a wardrobe malfunction just as the ball drops. A push-up bra often allows for plenty of cleavage with a low-cut top. You might also need a strapless bra or a convertible bra whose straps go from standard to cross-over to halter. And don’t forget the fashion tape to keep every stitch sitting in its proper place. But maybe slinky and skin-revealing isn’t for you. That’s OK too. Lingerie can still make the difference between simply clothes or a memorable statement. Try a lacy camisole under that blouse or a pair of patterned leggings to go with your skirt. These details can really punch up everyday items. And looking good out of your clothes? Lingerie was made for it. There are camis and teddies and thongs galore. Or silk pajamas, a satin robe or embroidered boxers. On New Year’s Eve, think glitz and glam and outside of the everyday bra and panty. Whether you go out or stay in, lingerie can make the difference between another New Year’s Eve or one to remember.
