A few weeks ago, we had a consumer respond to a blog post asking for some help:

“I’m looking for something to help my wife, who is style-challenged, put together that “fun in the sun” look that your models display when we are on the beach.  Ideas?” - Eric S.

 Eric, we’re so happy you asked!  Here are three great Jockey® “fun in the sun” options.

 1.    Comfy and casual “fun in the sun” look:
Start with our Jockey® favorite tank.  This tank offers a flattering scoop neck and a high back  with thicker straps (stylish and modest).  Plus, 100% cotton provides light and breathable feel—perfect for hot days.

Next, pair it up with our Ultimates® Cotton Spandex Bikini.    Enjoy comfy cotton stretch for a breathable, move-with-you fit.  You’ll love the contrast stitch and feminine bow detail.  Plus, new summer prints just arrived!

 Finish of your look with a pair casual shorts or active capris.  Great styles that will keep you on-the-go!

 In the look you’ll be comfy, casual and chic all day long!

2.    Flirty “fun in the sun” look:
Jockey® minis is a fun, youthful looking collection.  Start with the low rise boy short  in a bright summer color, like salmon pink!  Our minis boy short provides a “cheeky” fit with the comfort of cotton stretch (plus, they’re 5 for $25!).  Four different silhouettes allow you to choose your coverage.

For an all around sassy look, pair the low rise boyshort with our minis cami.  Again, you will get the comfort of cotton spandex in a tailored fit.  This cami has a built-in shelf bra, flattering scoop neck, and adjustable straps.

Complete your look with a flowy summer skirt and a crop jacket.  And, don’t forget a great pair of wedge shoes!

3.    Seamless “fun in the sun” look:
Seamless fun in the sun is a cinch with our No Panty Line Promise® Tactel® fiber blend collection.  On the bottom, wear the flattering fit of our hi cut panties (try it in new confetti bouquet print).  The silky, gentle stretch creates a beautifully smooth look underneath.  Hello summer dresses!

Summer dresses not your thing? Pull off your seamless look with our No Panty Line Promise® Tactel®  fiber blend camisole.  Dual adjustable straps allow for a customized fit.  Plus, the lay-flat seams create a smooth look underneath your top.  Great for layering under a cardigan, light sweater or your favorite embellished tee.

No matter which style you choose, spend your summer days care-free, panty line free…and looking fabulous.

-Stay sunny!

Even the warmest summer days can bring cool nights.  Don’t forget to check out our hoodies and jackets for the perfect day-to-night look!

 Eric, we hope this helps you (and your wife) out!  If anyone else has a summer style suggestion, we’d love to hear it!

I just looked at my calendar last night.  It’s the one hanging from my fridge, the only thing that gets me where I am supposed to be every day!  As I flipped through, looking at my weekend plans for the remainder of the summer, I realized wedding season is truly in full swing (I have four on my calendar so far).

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE weddings!  It makes me so happy to see people I care about start the rest of their lives together.  Plus, I get really excited for shakin’ my groove thing on the dance floor.  The only thing is, between work, trips to see the family, cookouts, concerts, baseball games and camping, (not to mention other random obligations and activities) the last thing I have time to stress out about is looking good and feeling great in my dresses for all those weddings!  I’m sorry, but losing “the last five pounds” to look my best is just not in the cards. 

Luckily for me, and all you other ladies with a summer full of weddings, looking great doesn’t have to mean being miserable while dieting for a month!  Jockey® has a summer wedding dressing guide just for us!  The slimming and smoothing shapewear and underwear options from our No Panty Line Promise® collection will help flatter all of our womanly curves (even the ones we aren’t too proud of).  You can define your bust and waist, smooth out your midsection, slim your tummy and rear, tone and smooth out your thighs and get all over shaping.  Plus, keeping your panty lines invisible is a breeze with the No Panty Line Promise® panties.  

If you’re anything like me, it’s great to know I have one less thing to worry about this wedding season!  Now if I could just find the right shoes, necklace and purse…

Don’t sweat the dress this wedding season, check out our wedding dressing guide to find a style that will help you look and feel your best!  Do you have any “prep” secrets to looking your best at summer weddings?  We’d love to hear them!

A couple weeks ago, as I was packing for a trip to the U.P for my friend’s wedding shower, I realized how frustrating preparing for summer trips can be.  I hastily shoved my shirts, shorts, underwear and shoes in every empty crevice I could find in my already over-stuffed duffel bag.  I thought I had done a pretty good job of packing light- just one (rather enormous and bulging) bag for ALL my clothes and a separate smaller bag for all of my toiletries, plus my purse (but that doesn’t really count).  When my friend and her fiancé arrived to pick me up, their jaws about hit the floor as I stagger-stepped out of my apartment trying to carry all my “necessary stuff.”  “We both packed in one suitcase!” she said as we tried to jam my bags into the back of her car.

I figure I can’t be the ONLY one out there who packs too much.  Extra socks (in case my feet get wet), a few long sleeve tops (what if it’s cold at night?), a number of black shoes (I might not want to wear heels out!), and plenty of shirts (I don’t know if I like this shirt with these shorts!).

Saving space in your bags can be a heck of a lot easier when you bring items that can be worn more than once, or are easy enough to dress up or dress down.  Here’s how to start packing lighter this summer with a few of your favorite Jockey® items!

-Sami Seagren, Jockey.com-

Ladies, here are your styles:

1.  No Panty Line Promise® Underwear
You don’t have to pack your whole underwear drawer so you have the  “right pair of undies” for underneath every outfit!  The ultra-light, sleek and soft fabrics of our No Panty Line Promise® undies are perfect for summer.  Plus the unique seams keep them invisible underneath everything- they’ll be the perfect panties for any outfit!

2.  Capris
Our women’s capris are multi-purpose, so you don’t have to change three times a day to feel comfortable and look great!  Our capris are light and breathable and trendy so you can wear them out on your day trips.  They are comfortable enough to sleep and lounge in.  You can probably save a TON of space in your suitcase by packing your favorite Jockey® capris.

3.  Classic Lace Tank
Now there’s no excuse for taking your whole wardrobe of tops.  Our classic lace tank is perfect!  The pretty lace trim around the neckline and the wide assortment of colors make this tank easy to dress up. Now that you have more room, pair it with your favorite accessories.  And the comfort of cotton with the stretch of the ribbed knit makes it comfortable enough to dress down.  Match it up with a pair of our capris and you’re set!

4.  Activewear Jacket
Summer evenings can get cool.  Instead of filling your suitcases with long sleeve tops that you may not even wear, save room and pack one of our activewear jackets or hoodies.  All of our styles offer a flattering, feminine fit in a number of colors and fabrications.  They will be perfect for late night walks or sitting around a bonfire.

5.  Sleep Chemise
Rest comfortably on your summer trips in a Jockey® sleep chemise.  They are ultra light and comfortable, perfect for warmer temps.  Plus, they are easy to pack and will save some space since you won’t have to pack shorts and tees to sleep in every night.

Guys, here’s what you need:

1.  Jockey® Form
Our men’s Form collection is made of a lightweight and smooth microfiber fabrication, so it’s perfect for warm weather.  Plus, the quick-dry feature makes washing and drying on-the-go easy and fast.  You can pack a few pieces, wash them and re-wear them to save some room in your suitcase.

2.  Swim Trunks
Jockey® swim trunks are the must-have summer piece! You only need to pack one pair because they dry easily overnight.  Sport them at the beach or pool by day, and then throw on a t-shirt for a casual lunch (skip packing a few pairs of shorts).

3.  Classic T-shirts
The 100% cool, cotton t-shirt!  These are another space-saver because they are so multi-purpose. The perfect foundation as an undershirt or wear solo for a laid-back, casual style.  Packing made simple with our convenient t-shirt multi-packs!

4.  3D-Innovations® collection
Sometimes your getaway calls for upgraded style. The 8-way stretch of our 3D-Innovations® collection provides a move-with-you design, plus the fabric is soft and contours to your body for comfort.  The assortment of rich colors offer upscale fashion and the stay-tucked fit will make for a distraction-free vacation.

5.  Performance T-shirt
Our Performance T-shirt is the perfect travel top. It offers moisture-wicking technology that dries quickly to help you stay cool. If you’re trying to get in a weekend workout or just cruising around, this tee will keep you feeling great! Mixing and matching is made easy with our huge selection of bold colors.
