The Joys of Commando Hosiery!

by

commando hosieryI recently told you about the great new hosiery options at Bare Necessities for fall.  I mentioned my excitement about Commando venturing into the world of hosiery.  I assumed that their tights would be great based on the impeccable design talent that created their legendary thong . Now I can tell you that they actually are!  I tested out the tights the other day and I am totally hooked!   I can confidently say these are the most comfortable and flattering pair of tights I have ever worn.

My favorite part of the tights is the waistband. In true Commando form, the wide, laser-cut waistband lies flat against your body leaving no lines under your most snugly fitting dresses eliminating those unsightly bulges that typical, elastic band tights leave. The tights themselves are soft, smooth, and sleek.  To add a little pizzazz, the waistbands of the black and brown tights are not only available in solids, but in paisley as well.  My wish is that the hosiery will be so successful that they branch out into patterns, textures, and more.

Retailing at $34 (and worth every penny!), Commando hosiery is available online at Bare Necessities and on the Her Look website.

Commando Goes High Rise!

by

Commando High Rise PantyWith high rise jeans and skirts making a comeback and with a number of women wanting a bit more coverage while staying VPL-free, Commando has recently gone high rise. This new panty and thong are a great addition to the Commando family, a true favorite of mine!

On purchases made June 24th – July 6th on the Her Look website, enjoy free ground shipping on your entire order with the purchase of any Commando High Rise Panty or High Rise Thong. Use the code HIGHRISE in the coupon field at checkout. While the new high rise thong and panty are only available currently at Her Look, for the other Commando favorites try Bare Necessities online (that $5 shipping is probably cheaper than a drive to the mall these days!) or Saks, Nordstrom, and more.

Low Beams: “Because Headlights are for Cars”

by

Recently in our forums, the question was posed, “How do you feel about headlights?”. There are differing opinions, some of which vary with celebrity status, about how appropriate (or not appropriate) it is to “shine through.” (My advice – No. It is not okay to pull a “Victoria Beckham” at work.)

Despite the varied opinions, I think we can all agree that there are times where a little modesty is necessary. Mandolina posted about the fun-shaped and ever so stylish Bristols 6 nippies not too long ago. Looking for another option? Try Low Beams. These innovative nipple concealers, created by the Commandos people (my favorite!), are latex-free and contain an “ouch-less” center. Humorously sold on key rings, they can be worn with or without a bra and even under bathing suits! At 5 pairs for $10, it’s a steal!

Headlights not a problem, but need a little…enhancement or perhaps a little push me up? Check out Takeouts and Cleavage Cupcakes for a less permanent enhancement option (which these fantastic folks call “the better boob job”). Keep your straps and hems in line with Matchsticks – easy-to-transport double stick tape strips that maintain your modesty…when you want to!

Don’t forget to join us in the forums and share your opinions. Because to shine or not to shine, that is the question!

Go Commando

by

Back in November, we told you all about one of my personal favorites, Commandos. You will be excited to know that these comfortable, invisible, lingerie drawer essentials now come in a slew of colors. During my visit to Saks Fifth Avenue, I found the “Candy Commandos.”. Very cute and individually packaged, these Commandos are in delectable colors such as pink taffy, gobstopper blue, and lemon drop! After looking at the website (which you should check out for the other incredible wardrobe solutions), I also noticed the superstar and camo patterns. Fun for everyone!

till not a thong girl even though these are super comfortable, Commandos also come in the girlshort and the new c.y.a. You can figure it out.

For those of you interested, they also have slips, camis, and tanks.

Commandos are available on the Her Look website as well as online retailers such as Figleavesicon and Bare Necessities and stores including Saks, Bloomingdales, and Neiman Marcus.

And yes, I agree with the people at Commando. It’s better than nothing.
