Knowing what type of lingerie to wear with what kind of clothing may seem like common sense but thousands of women still get it wrong. You can look like a million dollars but if you have the wrong knickers on you will look more like a buck fifty. Just to remind you, here are the golden rules of choosing your underwear:

1. Seamless bras are required for a smooth appearance under t-shirts or light weight tops. Bulges and bumps are not what you are looking for.

2. A G-string is the only choice for any tight trousers or skirts. VPL can make even the most beautiful women look horrible. And do you really want to highlight the precise contours of your bum?

3. Bikini panties or boy leg underwear should only be worn if you are sure VPL cannot rear it's head. For example Loose fitting jeans are thick enough to disguise any unwanted body lines.

4. If you are prone to hard nipples, wear a slightly padded bra whenever you dress in tops that will display you modesty like traffic cones.

5. Use a strapless bra or at least a coordinated colour when you wear strappy top or dress. At best a red dress with black bra straps will at best make you look devoid of style and at worst make you look like a lady of the night.
