Inner circle

When it comes to underwear fashion, almost everyone likes to stick to ubiquitous black or white in oh-let’s-yawn traditional shapes and sizes. This holiday season, push yourself to be more naughty than nice and let your playful self come out with inner fashion that’s fun. Since you’ve likely been cut out from Santa’s list ages ago, you might as well work on getting on someone else’s list.

Bench spruces up your chances of being kissed under the mistletoe with underwear that’s designed to make you sparkle.

Ladies’ undies become flirtatious with girly accents and ribbons. Star patterns reminiscent of the Wonder Woman days add whimsy. Available in blue, red and pink, this design is specially released for the festive holiday season. Low-rise bikinis with matching push-up bras feature silk-screened florals with the cute tag, "Surrender to Love." There’s also a range of low-rise hipsters with pinstripe designs and lace trimmings along the sides. This is the same design worn by Nicole of the Pussycat Dolls in the recent Bench Body ads.

The men’s line makes for a collection that should bring out a smile in Mrs. or Mr. Santa Claus – whatever your inclination may be. Like in the women’s collection, we also find a lot of colors and patterns in the range. Bright, bold blue stripes, black and white checks, florals and fauna prints in either low-rise hipsters or fit boxers spice up what’s down under.

This season, it’s the bold who will get to open up their presents first.
