Today is National Underwear Day! A day that is used to honor the most intimate piece of apparel that many of us wear. Originally celebrated to focus on emphasizing positive body image to women, men willingly joined in on the movement.
Underwear was originally meant to protect clothing from sweat stains. Included on this celebration are corsets, bustiers, boxers, sports bras and briefs. If you wear it under your clothes, then it is a garment to be proud of!
How to celebrate today:
Clean out your underwear drawer. Throw out anything you wouldn't want to be seen if you were in a car accident (Mom advice).
Purchase some new underwear. I think underwear is the last thing people think about when they update their wardrobe. When was the last time you bought yourself some new undies?
Have a movie night! Put on "Risky Business" and watch Tom Cruise dance in his underwear.
Read about the history of underwear in, "Unmentionables: A Brief History of Underwear," by, Elaine Benson.
If you are feeling bold and have the courage to wear them out publicly, you can have a friend take (tasteful) pictures of you.
And, of course, you can always just parade around (inside) your house in your underwear.
How will you celebrate today?
