Lux Tip: Fancy Underwear
As any sophisticate knows, every layer of what you're wearing contributes to how you feel. Many people love the comfort of a cashmere sweater or a silk camisole, and many people also like to have a secret under their clothes.Wearing an unusually fancy or sexy article of underwear will instantly give you a confidence boost. All day long, you'll smile as you remember what nobody knows you're wearing. And you don't have to pay La Perla prices to get this feeling (though if you can, you should; La Perla is exquisite).
One great source for sexy underthings at a bargain price? H&M. H&M has underwear for men and women. The materials may be cheaper, but the styles are lovely, and mostly under $10. Keep an eye on their sleepwear, as well; occasionally a sweet-dream-inducing nightie makes it to the rack for a guilt-free price.
It's just another easy way to make life more lux for cheap or free.

Very nice style, good materials, a lot of models. Correct price. I live in Italy and when is possible I like to make a gift La Perla to my wife or for me.

Do you guys not read the comments? Haven't you noticed the huge amount of negative feedback that this column generates?? Put a stop to this before more readers are driven away.

Although I think most of these tips are not even related to luxury living, and often border on the ridiculous, I don't think they're driving people away from this site. Just don't read them, but then of course, you might miss your only spot of humor all day. Stealing pens, chow mein noodles, running in a posh neighborhood--classic humor.

OK while I usually cringe when I see these "Lux Tips", I happen to agree with this one. People tend to not treat themselves to new underwear (and socks) enough.
While far from Luxe.... an upgrade of the under garments is always a good reminder.
