Sexy & Flirtatious Underwear
When buying lingerie as a gift for your loved one the first rule of thumb is the underwear should be sexy and not functional. I have never met a woman who welcomed a gift of a nude satin bra and control pants, however useful they may be.
Sensual & Seductive Lingerie
Valentine's Day offers the perfect opportunity to give your lover the underwear she dreams of but forgoes in place of the underwear she requires rather than desires. Impractical but seriously seductive bras with heavy lace or ribbon ties in place of conventional bra straps are perfect in conjunction with sheer chemises or camisoles.
Daring & Spicy Lingerie Colours
Winter is full of warming, hot and spicy colours and lingerie is no exception so steer clear of tame blacks and nudes or innocent whites and indulge in strong, rich reds and warming chocolates. Be as daring as you please and look for bright pinks and vivid colours as this is underwear indulgence and not designed for everyday wear.
Delectable Fabrics & Trimmings
Underwear is available in a wide range of fabrics. Sheer tulle and voiles create a subtle but delectable look whilst satin and lace adds femininity and glamour to a lingerie set. Tactile fabrics such as velvet and satin help create romance and indulgence.
When buying underwear as a gift it is usual to buy a set rather than individual items. A lingerie set can mean simple bra and briefs or be multiple pieces of underwear. Bra, briefs, stockings and suspenders are most people's image of traditional sexy underwear and help create a wicked, daring or playful mood.
Lingerie sets can also mean bra, briefs and matching camisole or even full nightwear sets including chemises and dressing gowns.
Gifts for Her
Buying underwear for you lover can feel daunting. However, if you follow simple rules your lady will not fail to be flattered. Remember that you are predominantly buying for her and whilst the emphasis is on special occasion underwear and not everyday wear do not stray to far from her comfort zone. For example, if she regularly wears briefs buy sexy hipster briefs rather than the g string that you would like to see as the set is likely to get more outings.
Think of the mood you would like to create - is it playful and wicked or sensuous and romantic? As this will help narrow the choice of underwear and helps prevent panic buying.
What bra size is she?
Similarly consider her bust size before choosing a style as some larger bust will not be suited to lower cut bras such as a plunge bra and smaller chests are more suited to lightly padded bras.
Always check her size before buying as this shows that true thought has gone into the gift. If you really don't know what size she is as a general rule of thumb it is best to underestimate than overestimate. And if you are really unsure buy a gift voucher and let her choose for herself and equally wonderful but safer gift!!
