Gentlemen’s guide to buying lingerie

Buying beautiful lingerie for that special lady is an incredibly romantic gesture. As a gift idea, it is great as it benefits both you and her. There are a few things to consider when buying our beautiful lingerie as a surprise.

Beautiful sexy lingerie comes in many styles and can be in silk, lace, satin or sometimes, even cotton. The main thing is that it makes the woman comfortable. A woman is at her sexiest when she feels sexy. A lot of men are intimidated to walk into a lingerie shop so shopping online for a lingerie gift is ideal.

Before you begin, you need to know what you are looking for. A quick glossary:

• Baby doll: is short nightie that flares from the breasts and ends at the top of the thighs and usually comes in a set with a pair of matching panties.

• Chemise: is like a short nightgown a bit like a sun dress

• Teddy: A teddy is usually in one piece, like a swimsuit.

• Bustier: These are form-fitting tops that usually fasten in the back and help accentuate the bust. Many bustiers have straps at the bottom that attach to stockings or garters.

• Thongs and g strings: A thong is a pair of panties that has a little more fabric going up the back and a G-string has just a string.

• Boy shorts: these are the newest trend in panties which are like a tiny pair of shorts and is popular as it deals with the VPL problem.

• Corsets: A corset traditionally has boning that goes over the bodice and is laced or hooked at the back. It can have an underwired cup or be quite flat. Corsets traditionally are tightly cinched at the waist to give the wearer a noticeable hourglass figure, but they also can be laced loosely and worn as a regular top.

Know her size

The best thing to do is to look in her lingerie drawer and see what bra size she wears. It is impossible to guess this as all women are not built the same. So check the bras that she wears frequently as these will most likely be the right size. Notice what styles she likes to wear and buy along those lines. Then you can be sure that the fit is right and she will like them.

Choosing colors.

Notice the colors that she usually wears and buy colours similar to those as women like to coordinate their look. If in doubt black and white are good basic options.

Bra shapes and styles

What is her lifestyle? Does she tend to wear very casual or formal clothes. What lingerie would fit her lifestyle? Low cut balcony bras (less of it ) are normally half cup and are for more dressy outfits like evening wear. Some bigger cup sizes only come with fuller cup fittings, but this doesn’t mean that they are not sexy. There are so many choices nowadays.

The fuller cup bras are more comfortable and can be worn all day. Pick bras with good support for ladies with larger cup sizes. They will appreciate your thought in this. If her lifestyle is more sporty, then look at the new technology bras which are seamless and in new fibres like microfiber. These are sometimes called t-shirt bras.

Panties

A sporty lady will tend to be aware of visible panty lines (VPL) too, so she might like thongs as opposed to fuller knickers. You can even find low cut hipster thongs to go with those low slung jeans.

Most importantly buy what she will be most comfortable in and not you would like to see her wear. Do be adventurous and buy her something new that you will both love and have some fun with this.
