It’s hot. You want to wear shorts. You want to wear shoes.

This is the dilemma.

You could go without socks, but hot shoes and sweaty feet can make for a gross situation. No-show socks aren’t perfect and tend to slip down your feet, but some guys are unsure about the tall socks-and-short pants combo. Will you look like a stereotypical tourist or like you belong on The Magic School Bus? 

We say yes to socks and shorts. Socks are where you can experiment the most with your style with the least amount of risk. It’s just your ankles, after all. 

And with the amount of sock subscription startups reaching a fever pitch, it’s easier than ever to find really unique socks.

Just to name a few: Nice Laundry, Foot Cardigan, Sock Fancy, Sock Club, Sock Panda, Soxiety, Ankle Swagger, Soul Socks, Blacksocks, Zoraab, Sockscribe Me ―  it’s almost easier to find a statement sock these days than it is to find your ankles.

First, it’s about your shoes: Socks and shorts don’t really work if you’re wearing fancier shoes such as oxfords, espadrilles, loafers or huaraches. (And they rarely work if you’re wearing sandals.) The stylists we interviewed pointed out that it’s best to keep your socks hidden in those cases.

But if you’re going for more of an athleisure look ― something like mesh shorts and Jordans ― Dan Trepanier, tailor, designer and founder of Articles of Style, told HuffPost the athletic ankle sock is your best bet. “Keep them clean, crisp, and similar in color to the sneakers (white with white, black with black),” he said.

If you’re going for the So-Cal look, pair socks with Vans or Chuck Taylors, Megan Collins, founder of Style Girlfriend, told HuffPost. “A clean white tube sock that hits mid-shin looks just right; with any other kind of sneaker, the sky is the limit in terms of color and pattern.” 

And don’t roll or fold your socks, advises AskMen: “It looks downright sloppy and while folding your socks looks slightly neater than rolling them, it’s still strange because it makes your ankles appear bulky. Instead just wear your socks pulled straight up, since doing so will create a lean, coherent silhouette with even the most narrow-leg pants.”

After hitting the beach in a bikini for the first time in her life, one woman learned that every body is a bikini body. 

BuzzFeed Yellow documented a woman named Jazzmyne’s journey with a video that begins with her picking out a bikini and ended with her rocking it at the beach. Before the shopping trip, she explained the motivation behind documenting the experience, describing how she struggled to love herself between her junior year of high school and junior year of college. 

“I grew up just being around a lot of girls who were super thin and super blonde and super white. I idolized them and their figures more than I appreciated my own figure,” she says. “I went through a hard time of eating disorders and therapists and really getting down on myself.” 

Jazzmyne stressed that she never thought she “was supposed to” wear a bikini, but is now on a body-positive mission to change her perspective. 

“I really want to work on being the most confident version of myself that I can be,” she said. “I’m on a journey to love me for me and if people love it, that’s awesome and if people don’t, that’s not my problem.”

With that kickass mentality, Jazzmyne picked out a black bikini designed by model Ashley Graham and hit the beach with a bit of hesitation. It wasn’t long though that she felt she was rocking her new swimsuit.  

“I’m feeling good. I’m feeling a lot of confidence,” she said.

Before this experience, Jazzmyne thought that she should only wear high-waisted swimsuits because of her body. Now, no swimsuit is off-limits. 

Jazzmyne later posted a bikini pic on Instagram and wrote in the caption that she never felt “good enough” to wear a bikini to the beach ― until now.

“This is me, in a bikini, and I fucking love it,” she wrote.

Let’s face it: We can do better when it comes to bras.

Whether we’re guilty of wearing the wrong size, going too long between washes or worse ― washing them incorrectly ― there’s a slew of things than can go wrong when it comes to our precious undergarments. 

Thanks to the fine folks at Rigby & Peller, we’re feeling a bit more supported when it comes to bra maintenance. The U.K.-based lingerie retailer has over 75 years of experience finding the perfect bras for their customers, and is now helping women in 41 locations worldwide.

We chatted with Candece Etafo, Rigby & Peller’s Fifth Avenue boutique manager in New York about all things bras. Herewith, 11 things she wants you to know.

1. You’re probably not getting measured nearly as often as you should be.

If the last time you were measured for a bra involved a Victoria’s Secret employee wrapping a pink measuring tape around you in middle school, it’s definitely time for a check in. Etafo notes that “A lot can happen, life changes. You could get pregnant, you could gain weight, you could lose weight. So much happens in life that you should check in with your lingerie stylist every six to eight months.”

2. If your clothing doesn’t fit properly, chances are it has nothing to do with the actual clothing.

Having everything in its correct place is crucial not just for supporting what’s underneath, but for making sure everything looks right on the outside, too. Etafo says, “You need a firm band. A loose band is why your breast tissue is sitting lower when it should be higher. You might say, ‘I know I’m not a size 12, this 10 should fit.’ Once clients come in and get in the right cup size all of a sudden it fits, they can move.”

3. Tightening your straps when a bra feels loose is far from a cure all.  

We are quick to tighten straps on a bra to make it feel more supportive, but in reality, it’s the band that does all the work. Etafo explains: “If you needed to put it into numbers, the band is really doing 90 percent of the supporting. It’s important that the band, not the straps, are very firm. 

 4. You’re not washing your bras enough. Period. 

When was the last time you washed your favorite bra? A week ago? A month, perhaps? We’re not here to shame you, but we are here to shock you. Etafo says a bra should be washed after every three wears, and those wears should never be in a row. “You’re stretching them out. Would you do that to your favorite pair of shoes? Your favorite jeans? No.” Just like your clothing, you should rotate your bras.

5. And you’re probably not washing them correctly, either. 

10. Even if you have enough bras in your wardrobe, chances are you’re not wearing all of them.

The latest internet fad has women falling for it hook, line and sinker.

It’s called the “fishbra” and consists of a woman holding up a fish over her chest as if it’s a brassiere.

The bizarre fad seems to have been popularized by an Instagram page called, appropriately enough, Fishbras.  

The page partners with Hurricane Boat Anchors, a St. Paul-based company specializing in boat anchors.

Business owner Tim Orsello said the Instagram account was created by a friend named “Pete,” who did it to promote the business on social media.

”Pete” doesn’t want his real name public, but Orsello said the page was created more than 18 months ago, but has really taken off in the last week or so.

”More and more women are getting into fishing,” Orsello told The Huffington Post. “I think the fact a woman is getting dirty and isn’t squeamish about holding a fish is attractive to both sexes.”

So far, the page has more than 2,500 posts and 120,000 followers, which means there is a definite audience for photos showing women swapping out lingerie for aquatic creatures.

”The women are as varied as the fish they are catching,” Orsello said.

Although many of the women posting their “fishbras” look as if they legitimately caught their fish, we suspect at least one of them is cheating.

It remains to be seen whether “fishbras” will become as popular as “planking,” “Tebowing” or the ice bucket challenge or whether it’s just a blip like “owling,” “Vadering” or “unicorning.”

Orsello hopes it doesn’t end up like day-old fish.

“I’d like to come out with hats or a ‘fishbra’ clothing line,” he said.

Here’s a bombshell: Guys carry things. It’s true. A lot of things! If you follow the Everyday Carry trend (or #EDC), you’ll see that it’s usually knives ― but we swear men carry more than that.

A modern man needs something to carry all that stuff around in, but if you’re wearing your backpack every day ― with your suit and tie, or tank top and swim trunks ― you’re doing it wrong.

“I think a lot of guys assume that a backpack is the one bag they need, no matter what they’re wearing and doing,” celebrity menswear stylist Ashley Weston says, who points out that this is the wrong way to think:

“If you’re wearing a suit or blazers often, then a backpack should never be worn with any of these outfits because the shoulder straps will ruin the shoulder pads and wrinkle your jacket all over the back. Wearing suits or blazers = carrying your bag by the handles and never anything else – which means you need a briefcase. Unless you’re going for the IT guy look, please don’t wear your backpack (or messenger bag!) with these outfits.”

So what is a guy to do? We live in a world that shuns the man bag, a necessary accessory. People call it a man purse, murse, mag even.

We say screw it. Men need a bag just as much as anybody else. Here are a few great options for all the things you carry everyday, no matter your outfit:

The world of electric shavers is ... overgrown, to say the least.

But there’s a new product available from Remington, called the Remington Verso, that wants to be the only shaver you need. It combines a Clarisonic-style face brush with a triple-head rotary shaver that you can use wet or dry, in the shower or out, with shaving cream or without.

It sounds like a Swiss army knife for cleaning and shaving your face, but does it work? We tested it out so you don’t have to.

The pitch: “Get in on the grooming revolution with Remington’s Verso, the multi-tasking men’s tool that effectively blends shaving, grooming and cleansing ― all conveniently from the palm of the hand.”

How long it takes to shave with the Remington Verso: I started with about a week’s worth of growth, somewhere between a five o’clock shadow and short beard. I used shaving cream on one side of my face and kept my the other side dry so I could test out the razor’s capabilities in either condition. With a standard wet multiblade razor (from say, the Dollar Shave Club) it usually takes me about 10 minutes to shave, and I’ll knick myself in a few places. With the Verso, it took me about 15 minutes to shave my face and I wasn’t bleeding anywhere.

Pros: The Verso is definitely convenient and ergonomic ― the size of a handheld computer mouse ― it fit right in the palm of my hand. What’s also a huge pro here is its compatibility with shaving cream or a dry shave, and honestly the shaving cream helped (but only a little). The dry shave didn’t burn; it was nearly as efficient and just as close. The included attachments (a soft daily cleansing brush, a weekly deep cleaning brush, a pre-shave scrubber that supposedly lifts your facial hair to prepare for a close shave, hair trimmer and rotary blades) interchange quickly as well, and are considerably easy to clean. The whole thing ― charger, body and attachments ― all fit easily into an included traveling dopp kit.

Remington claims you get 45 minutes of run time on the unit, and it takes 4 hours to fully charge.

Cons: My chin and Adam’s apple are standard tricky zones, and this razor didn’t shave either area as closely as I would have liked; plus, I have this weird area on my neck where super-thick hairs grow, and the Verso just couldn’t cut those strands, no matter how many times I passed over them. I kept my standard razor handy to shave down where the Verso couldn’t.

Price: $149.99, available online at Remington and Amazon.

Bottom line: I would definitely recommend it to a friend, and even feel confident buying it for someone as a gift. The flexibility to use it in the shower is great and the cleaning is a breeze. But for me, personally, the $149.99 price tag is a bit steep to get me off my standard handheld razor/wet shave habit.

Earlier on Huff/Post50:

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives...monitoring Kylie Jenner’s ever-changing hair.

The makeup mogul has done her part to make what’s old new again with a bob, reminiscent of a look she rocked back in 2015.

Jenner revealed the ‘do at an anti-bullying event in Los Angeles Thursday, but not before documenting every moment of the cut itself on Snapchat, of course.

Some of Jenner’s fans were quick to speculate over whether or not the cut is real, citing its stark similarities to her 2016 Met Gala look:

But real or not, there’s no denying its chic factor.

Here’s hoping this one lasts more than a few days.

When it comes to buying lingerie, some of us are perfectly happy with the $1 clearance bin at TJ Maxx, while others don’t hesitate to spend $308 on a La Perla thong that’s basically made of nothing but your hopes and dreams.

Most platitudes about lingerie point us toward the expensive stuff: We’re told the secret to lingerie is in how it makes you feel, and that wearing fine lingerie can empower women, and not just sexually. 

So in a perfect world, where money falls from the sky and $308 thongs are wedged up our behinds without a second thought, would we really live better lives if we treated ourselves to luxurious lingerie? 

Allison Beale, the marketing and brand director at Journelle in New York City, explains the thinking behind this theory.

“I absolutely believe lingerie makes you taller,” Beale told HuffPost. “It’s the first thing you put on in the morning ― why not make it lovely? 

“When it comes to lingerie empowering, I can only speak for myself, but will tell you that boarding the [subway] in the dreary winter or early spring in my version of a three-piece suit (bra, bikini and matching suspender) is incredibly empowering. Only I know what lies beneath, and that makes the ritual of getting dressed much more interesting.”

She has a point. But we were still skeptical, so we had two editors test the theory. Fashion editor Michelle Persad and trends editor Jenna Amatulli visited Journelle to get fitted with the finest wares they could imagine, and then wore their new undies and documented how they felt.

Would the upgrade magically give them unshakeable confidence? Or would they just feel nervous about wearing lace bras in cold offices? Enlightenment and hilarity ensue:

 JENNA

“I have a massive obsession with underwear. I have probably a hundred pairs. The frillier and silkier, the better. I have a flat chest so I think that’s probably perpetuated my obsession with bottoms. That said, I do love bras. I mostly wear padded bralettes, usually from Victoria’s Secret. I was mostly hoping that this experiment would let me see what wearing those barely-there bras and undies IRL was actually like, if I’d feel uncomfortable or a better version of myself.”

SHOPPING DAY
 
3:30 p.m. “I realize that there are ZERO pictures of women way hotter than me on the walls of this store. As a thicker human, I am super grateful for the lack of imagery. It’s definitely easier to feel sexy when you’re not being reminded that you don’t look like Candice Swanepoel.”
 
3:50 p.m. “I’ve tried on like 12 bras. They’ve also given me a pair of underwear with no butt to try on. Like, there is no fabric in the back. It’s bougie and called an ‘ouvert.’ I asked them if you wear it with other underwear underneath and they smiled politely and insisted you do not.”

DAY 1
 
6:00 a.m. “I’m wearing the lace bra with the bare-ass panties. It just feels like I should get those out of the way ― jump in fully and completely, you know? I’ve never left the house in a bra that wasn’t padded so I immediately feel the difference. I feel sexy and sort of like I’m ready for a night out on the town instead of like it’s just Tuesday. I wear jeans because they’re thick and also flexible and I don’t want anyone to know my butt is completely exposed.”
 
6:43 a.m. “The train is cold. I’m completely certain everyone can see my nipples. I’ve never been more glad for my long hair.”
 
2:00 p.m. “The office is a cold AF and THIS IS TERRIBLE.”

2:13 p.m. “My female coworker tells me she can’t see my nipples when I ask if they’re totally out. I feel like she’s lying to make me feel better.”
 
9 p.m. “I don’t totally hate my life in this set, nor do I want to rip them off. I nearly forgot my underwear didn’t have a back all day ― in a way, it’s better than wearing a g-string. Are ouverts the undies we all need? MAYBE.”
 
DAY 2
 
6:00 a.m. “I’m going in today with this Lonely Lingerie bra and brief set. There are so many straps. I feel like a dominatrix, but a low key one.”

9:15 a.m. “Went to pee and realized I have to undo a strap in order to do so. I drink a lot of water. Today’s going to be a HOOT.”
 
12:45 p.m. “This underwear is not meant to be worn under things. It’s ribbed and velvety and I’m pretty sure everyone can see it through my shorts.”
 
DAY 3
 
6:05 a.m. “I’m wearing my second Lonely Lingerie bra and brief set ― this brand is dope. I stalked their Instagram hardcore and it’s making me want to force a friend into taking pictures of me. #BODYCONFIDENCE.”

“I wrestle into the bra. The high neck is throwing me off. When I picked it out, I thought I’d pair it with a V-neck tee but I’m not courageous enough to rock that look. I go for a high-necked top with low underarms so the bra at least peeks out on the sides. I feel very Carrie Bradshaw.”

12 p.m. “I’ve gotten a fair amount of compliments on this bra ― all from women. Proud of my outfit choices today.”
 
11 p.m. “I’m a fierce bitch.”
 
JENNA’S VERDICT
 
“There’s DEFINITELY something to be said about wearing sexy underwear during your daily routine. It’s a self-esteem booster because you feel like you have this dirty secret all day long. 
 
“I was much more aware of my nipples on the first day, but that subsided. I honestly felt more myself than usual. The lack of padding for consecutive days was actually pretty eye-opening. I used to see myself sans padding and be like, 'nope, definitely not.' After this week, I realized that hatred for how I look without the padding was all in my head. It didn’t look THAT different.
 
“The expensive lingerie was worth it for the infusion of spice in my day. It’s pricey to have such a luxurious undergarment wardrobe, and knowing you can rock the stuff for yourself, without having any bedroom activities planned, is actually really awesome.”

MICHELLE

“When it comes to lingerie, I’ve always thought practically. I buy bras that will work under slightly sheer tops, underwear that won’t give me lines in tight pants and above all else, I favor comfort. That means my lingerie drawer is boring and mostly consists of nude and black bras and underwear. In terms of getting fitted, I’ve also always been told a different size by various sales associates. So needless to say, I’ve just stuck to the size I’ve been wearing since high school.” 

SHOPPING DAY

3:10 p.m. “I just got fitted for a bra and found out that I’m wearing the COMPLETE wrong size. (As in two cup sizes too small and two band sizes too big). I laughed when I heard my new size.”

3:46 p.m. “I found out I’m not alone. In fact, many women wear the wrong bra size, according to my bra fitter. She said she has never met someone who is a true size 34B, yet so many women think that’s what size they are. Take-away: LADIES, get a bra fitting.”

DAY 1

7:35 a.m. “My lingerie drawer looks like the first scene out of the Devil Wears Prada. Picking out my bra and underwear took so much longer than normal. I decide to go with my blue lace Stella McCartney bra and the matching silk and lace undies. A major upgrade from my normal nude bra and underwear. I instantly feel fancier.

8:24 a.m. “I feel like everyone can tell that I’m wearing nice underwear.”

8:39 a.m. “My dress flies up while standing on the subway platform, now people can actually tell I’m wearing nice underwear.”

1:54 p.m. “I’m surprised how comfortable I am in these lacy undergarments. I always thought fancy lingerie was supposed to be really uncomfortable.”

7:00 p.m. “I got home 20 minutes ago and haven’t even taken my bra off yet. This is a new record.”

DAY 2

9:12 a.m. “It’s Saturday morning and normally I would be lounging around in a pair of sweatpants, but instead I decide to put on my new lace robe and black chemise. Maybe it’s a little aggressive for Saturday before noon, but I don’t care, I feel great.”

11:50 a.m. “I finally will myself into wearing actual clothes so I can leave the house and immediately wish I had stayed home in my robe.”
 
11:49 p.m. “I just came home early from a bar night with friends so I could put on this lace robe. I think we’ve created a monster.”
 
DAY 3
 
8:00 a.m. “It’s the last day of my lingerie test and I wear my new black bra and a slightly sheer white T-shirt. Not something I would normally do, but this bra is so sexy, I don’t care. And hey, it’s Sunday.”
 
10:34 a.m. “I stop at my local bagel spot, the lighting is bright, and I instantly regret my decision to wear a white T-shirt and a dark-colored bra.”
 
10:45 a.m. “The cashier throws in a free muffin with my order. I stop regretting my decision.”
 
9:03 p.m. “I have spent almost 12 hours in this bra and it’s complete heaven. Usually my bras ride up on my back (I guess because I had been wearing the wrong size), but this one stayed in place all day. I think I’ll wear it again tomorrow.”
 
MICHELLE’S VERDICT
”I always avoided asking for assistance when lingerie shopping, but this experiment definitely showed me that there is value in asking for help. I was pushed out of my comfort zone and it was for the best. Being fitted and wearing my new size changed not only how I felt, but also how my clothes fit. I was so much more comfortable all day. Also for the first time in the history of my life, I didn’t rip my bra off the second I got home.”

It’s summer, which can only mean one thing: longer days, shorter hair ― and if you’re a Kardashian or Jenner ― tinier tops.

Kendall Jenner attended a launch party in Los Angeles Thursday night in what might not be the smallest shirt she’s ever worn, but nevertheless an almost comically tiny tank top:

Look, the supermodel has proved time and again she can pull off these befuddling looks with ease, but we still can’t help but imagine what it would be like to actually wear one of these.

The straps alone, which on any mortal human would undoubtedly spend the entire evening slipping to either side, send stylish shivers down our spines.

Sigh. To be a Jenner, free of nip-slip anxiety and wont for wearing bras.

This Chihuahua knows how to work it for the puparazzi.

A shelter pooch has finally found a home thanks to a series of photos that anyone who has taken a middle school yearbook picture can relate to.

The 4-month-old Chihuahua-mix was found wandering the streets and was brought to San Francisco Animal Care & Control by a good Samaritan in June. When the pup — whom the shelter named Carpe Diem — was having difficulty getting adopted, the shelter set up a photo shoot with a volunteer photographer named Kelly Winquist to help the little guy out.

“[Photos have] a tremendous impact!” Deb Campbell, a rep for SFACC, told The Huffington Post. “Being able to showcase the shelter animals in beautiful – and yes, sometimes funny – photos inspires people to visit the shelter to adopt, even from distant cities.”

But when it was time for the outgoing, sweet and quirky C.D. to give the camera FACE, things got wonderfully whacky instead:

“Seeing his silly nature makes people smile, and the photos captured that,” Campbell said of the dog that was named Carpe Diem because he always seizes the opportunity to make people grin. “Who doesn’t like a smile in their day? Carpe Diem gave us that little gift every day during his stay with us.”

The shelter posted the pictures of the teeny-tiny tyke to their Twitter page on July 11 and got a tremendous response — over 2,000 likes and and a thousand re-tweets. The post also caught the attention of an adopter who had gotten a dog from SFACC before.

On July 13, Carpe Diem was taken home by this veteran adopter and got a new and equally endearing name.

“His new name is Turbo and he has a brother named Jenkins,” Campbell said.

If you’re interested in adopting a one-of-a-kind canine or cat of your own Campbell says SFACC has plenty more looking for forever homes.

If you live or will be in the San Francisco area on July 23, SFACC is participating in a national campaign with NBC called “Clear The Shelters” in which all of its animals will be available for adoption at no charge.

For more information on SFACC and its adoptable pets, visit their website, here.

What does it mean to “Lutz” at fashion week? Appear in every photograph as is humanly possible.

Kellan Lutz, human brother, vampire brother, once and (maybe) future designer, possible He-Man, and New York Fashion Week Men’s ambassador, took his ambassadorship seriously by somehow appearing in nearly every photograph ever taken by anybody who showed up to a NYFW event with a camera. 

“When they asked me to become an ambassador, it felt really authentic to who I am. I love fashion,” Lutz told Pret-a-Reporter, who pointed out that Lutz’s Venice Beach-inspired clothing line Abbot + Main appears to be inactive.

“I just really want to dive back into it,” the 31-year-old said.

You did it, Lutz. You turned NYFW into NYWOL (New York Week Of Lutz).

Nike Women’s Instagram account is followed by 4.8 million people who, on the daily, are treated to an inspiring array of diverse ladies being total badasses.

Largely absent from the mix, and from athletic brand advertisements in general, however, are women with curves.

The iconic brand changed all of that Thursday when it commissioned Paloma Elesser, a New York-based model signed under Muse Management’s plus-size division, to model one of its new sports bras.

Standing in a bra, leggings and nothing else, Elesser demonstrates how to tell if your sports bra fits correctly. What’s striking about the image, though, is what it doesn’t have: Any mention of her being plus-size or any indication that there is something different about this image compared to the rest on the page.

In including Elesser in the mix, free of context, Nike is normalizing the idea that women of all shapes and sizes care about fitness ― the ultimate goal on the path toward inclusivity. 

It is important to note that many of the new bras we saw are offered only up to a size XL or E, which is considered by some experts to be pretty much the same size as a DD. While many commenters praised Nike for its refreshing take, others lamented that for many women, the offerings are still unattainable.

Still, we have to applaud Nike for this one, and hope other retailers across the board will take note.

As far as Kim Kardashian West goes, there’s not much she can do to surprise us anymore. After all, she regularly poses naked, prefers a plunging neckline and oh right, did we mention all the nude posing?

But somehow, in spite of all of that, she still managed to bring shock value to an outing with her sister Kendall Jenner on Thursday night in Los Angeles by wearing ... this: 

No, your eyes are not deceiving you. That is a completely see-through dress worn with a small pair of black underwear and a nude bra.

The mobile mogul threw a camouflage jacket over the ensemble, perhaps to shield her essentially naked body from any cold fronts, but likely not serving any real purpose whatsoever.

You never cease to amaze us, Kimmy.

Hiding underneath a sarong or coverup on the beach? A new campaign featuring older women is designed to give you the body confidence you need to rock your bikini this summer.

UK-based retailer JD Williams has launched the campaign that asks women of all ages and sizes to proudly show off their bikini selfies. Heading up the effort are two post-50 models, Jilly Johnson and Nicola Griffin. Johnson, 62, and Griffin, 56 ― who you might recognize from her Sports Illustrated appearance ― say it’s time to throw caution ― and self-consciousness ― to the wind and own your age.

“Now I have a devil-may-care approach, even if I’m not quite as firm as I once was. We’re only on the planet a short time so we should make the most of it,” Johnson told The Telegraph. 

The duo stripped down to their swimsuits to empower other older women to do the same and to share their photos using the hashtag #mybikiniselfie. 

Griffin has a number of swimsuit photos posted on her Instagram account. “Don’t hide: have pride in your curves,” she recently wrote. 

JD Williams has long supported fashion for older women, starting the #StyleHasNoAge campaign featuring women over 50 and even featuring a line of lingerie to appeal to older women with the help of a 62-year-old model.

How’s this for a quandary: There is a new brand of shorts coming to market that may help improve a man’s sexual performance.

However, even if they work, they are ugly enough that they may make some potential partners decide against having sex with you.

The boner-building biker-style shorts are the creation of VylyV (vill-live), a start-up that plans to raise funds soon via Kickstarter.

The shorts supposedly work by recording your movements throughout the day and sending that info to an app that designs workout plans and guidelines to improve your pelvic floor muscles doing butt-squeezing kegel exercises.

And, yes, men can benefit from doing kegels, too. 

Strengthening those muscles improves blood flow to the sex organs, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Not sure what that means? The makers of the product hope you’ll get the hint from this subtle and tasteful shot of a fizzy soda bottle. 

Of course, not everybody thinks these undies will turn you into a porn star in the bedroom. 

Dr. Paul Turek, a board-certified urologist with offices in Los Angeles and San Francisco, says the claims made by the shorts’ manufacturer are “dubious science at best.”

“There is a relationship between pelvic muscles and incontinence, but there’s no evidence of a clear benefit between strong pelvic muscles and strong erections,” he told HuffPost. 

The company hasn’t responded to HuffPost yet about when the shorts will go on the market, how much they will cost, or, most important, if they will ever be stylish.

However, they are attempting to arouse interest with this YouTube video that features the model saying totally studly things like “Yeah babe, just put your seatbelt on, we’re going for a ride” to an attractive female in red stilettos.
