I have never thought too much about this, but when I looked over my collection, I noticed that I only really owned darker colors. I guess this is because I am naturally quite pale and the darker colors contrasted strongly with my skin tone. I never considered lighter colors like white because I didn’t think they made me look good. You’ve got quite a bit of latitude here to choose what you like. Chances are that if your favorite shirt is dark blue or green, it’ll work for your lingerie too. A lot of people told me that they feel sexier when their panties and bra match; a mismatched bra and panty combination can often feel like we were rushed when dressing.

Patterns can be more difficult. Lots of people told me that lace fabric and lacey patterns made them feel sexy inside. I can see how this makes sense; the delicate fabric is inherently feminine; the transparency of lace gives it a see-through quality that can make you feel naughty.

The best strategy is to utilize stockings, multiple pairs.
