What are the best style & color panties to wear?
When selecting the perfect style panty comfort and fit are key. There are numerous styles, colors, fabrics and cuts to choose from today. What panties you wear depends on your personal taste and the occasion you want to wear them and maybe your mood. For casual or everyday choose something basic, that fits ( in the right size) and that are comfortable. For formal and dressy occasions you might want to wear something lacey and sexy in the same color as the outfit you are wearing. Choose seamless styles when wearing pants or clingy clothing. As far as color wear neutral color panties under light color clothing and black or dark color panties with dark outfits. Print panties can show through some fabrics so are not as practical or wearable as often as solid colors.
