Bottom chills. You must’ve had them, wearing jeans and a short, hip-skimming coat on a Winter’s day. You just can’t go around wearing skimpy knickers when you’ve got goose bumps on the derriere, so it’s been my mission this winter to find briefs with wholesome coverage in soft, comfy, warm fabrics. And I may just have found the perfect solution (though have yet to road test) *Drumroll*

Charlotte & Co’s Foundation Silk Knickers have a generous brief-style cut (you could say “granny” but I prefer to say “classic”).  Perhaps I’ve hit an age where knickers of minute proportions suddenly seem unappealing, bringing to mind the “cheese wire” analogy. I’m not ashamed of it — I love to look good in my underwear, but who’s to say that should be at the cost of comfort?  Best of all, these knickers are made from pure silk jersey, a super smooth fabric with warmth and luxury on its side.  And, for bonus points, the fine jersey means the knickers are virtually invisible under clothes, even lightweight summer trousers and frocks. Hallelujah, say I.

Okay, so you’re thinking big pants don’t equal sexy, right? Well, think again. Team these lovely knickers with a gorgeous matching camisole and you’ve got a cosy, but downright gorgeous look on your hands. The camisole is made from the same natural silk jersey, so you stay cool when it’s hot and snug when it’s chilly. And don’t forget, a camisole (with or without a bra) is a must-have for the small-busted. Dare I say, it is a style that the little-chested wear best?

Loving your work, Charlotte & Co.
