I have posted in chat as well. I need to buy some lovely underwear as I have a lovely new man. What sort of things do you find classy as opposed to slutty?

slutty if done well is very classy

depending upon your shape you can't do much better than Aubade or equivalent

most men like
- very small thongs or
- french knickers
- stockings (ideally with suspender belt rather than hold-ups)

noooo......no to thongs unless you are 17 and weigh under 8 stone.

french knickers good.

stockings without suspenders.

don't forget - don't set the bar too high. You will be expected to maintain it, even whilst you are feeding the cat.

manshape says silky lingerie

Pan Sat 23-Oct-10 22:54:30

yep. Silky smooth. colour not so important. And attitude. You have to be confident with it on as well.

Special occasions with the wife might entail a basque with integrated suspender strings, plus stockings.

French knickers are lovely, obv bra must match!

oh, and as regards the stockings - "full-fashion" with the seams up the back and the darker-patches on heels and toes. I'm an unashamed leg-man!

To be honest, any quality matching set will look classy.

Avoid peep holes, tassles, or pvc. grin

Pan Wed 27-Oct-10 23:16:29

and knickers with various written messages on. Just...just....DON'T!!smile

I once had a girlfriend who had a penchant for wearing matching silk cami tops and french knickers.

The memory still brings a smile to my face.

I have yet to meet a man that finds thong classy.

what you wear is mostly unimportant, it is how you wear it.

Walk in in his favourate teams football shirt and a pair of fulffy socks. but do it with a sexy confidence and supersonic self esteem and he will be tripping over his tongue.

stand there in a £100 agent provocateur set but cringing with every movemt and trying to cover your mummy tummy and he'll not even notice the undies.

confidence is key. and no sussies. they are a dated cliché and just get in the way.

Pan Wed 27-Oct-10 23:38:59

so true.

Snorbs Wed 27-Oct-10 23:50:03

That is indeed very true. A woman who is comfortable in her own body is much much more sexy than any particular item of clothing.

AuraofDora Wed 27-Oct-10 23:54:37

ah Pan nort again!

yes agree confidence is key

cant abide thongs personally either

Pan Wed 27-Oct-10 23:59:27

forget the lingerie. She sprinkles herself in biscuit crumbs, and I am hers!!

AuraofDora Thu 28-Oct-10 00:03:25

lemon scented ones no less..

am orf to do so now wink

Pan Thu 28-Oct-10 00:05:14

gulp.

GiganGORE Thu 28-Oct-10 00:17:59

biscuit crumbs? in bed?

well just have the vagisil handy for the innevitable chaffing

Pan Thu 28-Oct-10 00:21:27

No worries. We will be very careful..

TechLovingDad Thu 28-Oct-10 03:02:02

Ahhhhhh football shirts. DW can't understand the appeal, I can't understand why she won't just put the damn thing on! grin

lazysod Thu 28-Oct-10 09:19:56

not football shirts, but a man's white work shirt. Yum!

GiganGORE Thu 28-Oct-10 09:59:05

Feel it necessary to point out that I'm not actually a bloke. Dont want any confusion grin

MalificenceBloodandSand Thu 28-Oct-10 12:31:43

Suspenders are neither out-dated nor do they get in the way, the trick is to wear knickers that tie at the sides so they come off easily. wink (cos crotchless isn't classy).

That little trick had DH salivating.

Pandora's choice has the classiest underwear, if you like things a bit retro.

AuraofDora Thu 28-Oct-10 19:46:39

have just had to make some of your biscuits tonight - true, can you beleive it, i dont do baking its some charity thing for work tomorrow later on pan
this is so out of character and i added almond too, whaddya think..?

lots of options on the sexy clothing front and it can be sexy depends on situation too, a girl has to improvise

Pan Thu 28-Oct-10 21:49:06

oh it's while since I've had biscuits. And timing is everything, n'est-ce pas? Perfect when firm yet moist, and still quite warm. Left too long and they dry a little and don't taste as sweet. At least I find.
Almonds? Wow! I take my hat off to you. A sweet stickyness? I love to experiment too. So many fruits to play with.
Really hope your efforts are fully appreciated....
