Xmas Party Lingerie Ideas

November 14, 2016 /Posted bySwanky Pins / 1926 / 1

With the Christmas season approaching fast, its time to start thing about what to wear for those endless Xmas parties, dinners and family gatherings.

To justify your spend on an outrageously priced party outfit, despite the fact that it’s ‘perfect’ for you, its essential to turn that great outfit into absolutely fabulous by pairing it with the right tights, stockings, holdups or even a nice pair of over knee socks. Teaming your dress with the right lingerie will improve both your figure, your confidence and your overall look so it is imperative to choose wisely.

Retro Girdle with Leopard Print Seamed StockingsWith today’s shapewear you can improve and re-shape your figure like a temporary nip and tuck, firming buttocks and belly’s, and ‘shrinking’ thighs and waists so there is no reason to have lumps and bumps showing through a tight fitting dress. There is certainly plenty of choice, from panty girdles, waist cinchers, control knickers to full body shapers and modern fabrics make these seamless and comfortable to wear.

Nothing screams ‘classy’ more than retro style lingerie teamed with a gorgeous pair of seamed stockings. Think of the stars, sex symbols and pin-up queens of the 50’s – how elegant, sexy and beautifully put together they were. Swanky Pins are great fans of the retro look and most of our stockings and suspender belts reflect this style. We have got some lovely Xmas lingerie in this year, from sassy and sexy to chic and elegant so have a look around our site for something to match with your party outfits.

Lurex Stockings paired with 6 strap suspender belt

Your wardrobe is missing an important element without the right lingerie to match the variety of dresses, skirts, trousers and whatever else you may have hidden away in there. Your underwear is a necessary accessory and there’s little point in wearing a stunning designer dress if your undergraments just aren’t up to scratch.

If you want to be the best dressed from top to toe, try some of our Xmas party lingerie ideas!

    I think for me, I would definitely need something like a high waisted girdle & stockings set for this one red bodycon maxi dress I have, which hugs the body really tight and close. So between the girdle and say a well-padded bra (and sexy boots!), I’d look totally fabulous. :)

    And then with this black dress that I also have, I’d need the high-waisted girdle & stockings for that too….only this time in the color red. I say red, because as the dress has a nice long slit in the side, it would show off my sexy red legs and black booties to match.
