My mother always warned me of the importance of good underwear and reminded me never to leave the house without clean underwear. This is why, till date, I never step out of the house without a clean matching pair of underwear, lingerie to being specific.

I do this, God forbid, should anything out of the ordinary happen and I am in a position where my clothes have to be taken off. For example, at a doctor’s.

Wearing good ‘undies‘ is essential, and I will be letting you in on some reasons on why. Reasons why you need a pair of power underwear to get you through your professional life as well as undies for unique occurrences in your everyday life.

The Everyday Underwear

For everyday errands like going grocery shopping, going to the gym or even meeting up with friends, a pair of clean, comfortable underwear fits the bill.

As mentioned earlier, just make sure that if you are in a position where your underwear will be viewed by anyone, you are wearing decent undies.

The ‘Get Lucky’ Underwear

If you are looking to ‘get lucky’ and you grab a pair of everyday underwear, please stop. The day might end in a special occasion, and you know what they say, first impressions matter.

On days like this, you are allowed to go all out with your lingerie type. Owning an eye-catching pair of ‘get lucky‘ lingerie is something you will never regret.

The Power Underwear

For professional women, owning a pair of power underwear should be your secret weapon. Power underwear boosts your confidence and lets you fit into a role, the boss lady.

A ‘power underwear’ is usually in bold black or red colours and is either satiny, lacey or a combination of both.

The ‘I Am Not Wearing Underwear’ Underwear

If you are a fan of not wearing especially a bra, owning a light triangle bra to wear every now and then or when you really have to is essential.

Most triangle bras are light, comfortable, and do not alter your natural silhouette in any way.

The Men’s Basic Underwear Survival Kit

Unless you are into some deep ‘ish‘ or you are a staunch Sci-F or Harry Potter fan, keep it simple.

A man’s everyday underwear should be clean, comfortable, airy and simple.

Some of the most popular underwear for men include these:

Boxers

If you are a fan of boxers, you can go for solid colours or patterns, and remember that cleanness and simplicity are key.

Briefs

Same with wearing boxers, keep it simple and not too tight. You can also opt for simple briefs or Y-fronts.

Socks

If you have any holey socks, please toss it in the bin. Do not even wear them at home. Socks with holes are a big no-no.

Men’s everyday socks must always be clean, plain or patterned.
