There has recently been a large number of online stores entering into the lingerie market, as well as traditional shopfront stores. There are plenty of newcomers and some big name fashion models, socialites and actresses socialites all wanting to make their claim in the world of lingerie; unfortunately this has caused difficulties for ladies in selecting the correct type of lingerie for their body.

Top 5 Sexy Lingerie on the market

There are five essential tips all women can think about when looking to purchase lingerie they have not worn before.

Tip 1: Always Understand the Sizing for Lingerie

Due to the nature of the item you are purchasing, lingerie stores are not allowed to let you try on the lingerie and this is due to legislation that prohibits it. Therefore it is more important than normal dress shopping that you understand what size is best for your body type.

It is not widely known that there is actually no single standard sizing for lingerie measurements, however there are things you can do to remove the risk of purchasing lingerie that does not fit or suit you. Most established designers when piecing together their new lingerie selection will create a sizing scale for their new range. This scale will often advise how to measure yourself and your figure for the best fit and purchase.

If you have a smaller frame and bust then it is often important that you select a item of lingerie that has easily adjustable straps, look for an under wire bra with padding. This under wire bra will aid in accentuating those parts of your body you want to show, often your bust. It also aids to ensure that your bust is well formed and will often portray a larger size with the correctly placed padding.

If you are a bigger lady or have a plus size body type, you will find that you are often better off purchasing lingerie that does not have a firmly fixed and formed bra shape as this will give your bust more flexibility to fall into it’s natural shape. It is often good to purchase a more stretchy style of material, knowing that this will form around your body providing a sexy close fit.

Even though stretch is important, often the other things to think about is to ensure that the underwear or lingerie item provides a firm and supportive structure. This firmness is crucial in the bust area to ensure everything is held in the correct position.

You want to provide the illusion that you are wearing a bra, even though it is actually the Lingerie that is holding you in place.

Also consider when purchasing lingerie for your body type that the length and colour of the item is important. When purchasing a lingerie item with a formed bra, being one that is complete with under wire and padding, it is definitely most appropriate for the item too have more than one colour or pattern. But, if the lingerie does not have a correctly formed bra, then the lingerie should be a single pattern and colour.

The reason for this is that bust area needs to look as though it is fitting correctly. There is nothing worse than to purchase a two colour lingerie item to find that the second colour sits half-way across the bust.

All you have to do is make sure you feel comfortable in your lingerie. It should highlight your best bits and your body and hide those parts that may not be so great.

If you have not purchased lingerie online before you will find that most stores have sizing information easily at hand compared to other bricks and mortar stores.

Tip 2: Is the Fabric Type of the Lingerie Important?

Yes, Yes, Yes, the fabric type is by far the most important choices you can make when buying your lingerie. When browsing check to see what the lingerie is made of and the style of the fabric. Lingerie is often sold as a (one size) item and is made of a very stretchy material, this can be easily torn if it is a cheap brand.
For the more adventurous, there are items of lingerie that are made from pvc and this is often uncomfortable on some skin types. Before purchasing any piece, check on the internet by reading some forums and see what other people have written about and their experiences.

Tip 3: Does the Store have a Returns Policy

Again due to the nature of Lingerie, most stores adhere to a no-returns policy unless the item is faulty. This is due to health regulations and this prevents them from being re-sold.

Tip 4: Select a Piece of Lingerie that Compliments You

The largest mistakes that men make, is to buy lingerie that does not compliment the body of their partner. For example if you are purchasing lingerie for a plus size woman, it is probably not advisable to buy a g-string or thong. Most plus size women don’t like this style of lingerie as it often means the inner thighs rub together whilst walking.

When purchasing online always attempt to located pictures of a person similar in size to your lady who will be wearing the lingerie.

Tip 5: Choose a Striking Colour

When selecting a colour think hard about when you want to wearing the lingerie, for example, if you are purchasing the item for a romantic night at home you can be adventurous with your colour selection, but if you will be wearing the lingerie under your clothes at a party or whilst out at dinner, you will want to make sure the colour does not stand out. Think of matching your hair colour to the lingerie, this often achieves a great result
