A man’s guide to lingerie buying
A manâs guide to lingerie buying.
If a man decides to treat his wife/girlfriend/mistress to lingerie this Christmas it can be a minefield for him unless heâs experienced enough in how the system works? Some men make it their business to know the correct size of their partner but others find it a nerve wrecking experience. However it doesnât have to be.
A few simple prior to purchasing steps and it can become an enjoyable experience.
Firstly, somehow you must find out your partners correct size. The easiest way is to rummage through her underwear draw at home and look for a consistent size.
This also applies to her briefs. (Preferably when sheâs not around!)
The two main rules for bras are back size and cup size. The back size is the measurement around her body under her bust, i.e. 30, 32, 34 ,36 etc, and the cup size is the actual breast size, ie A,B,C,D etc.
After determining this, look at the style of bra that your partner wears. This can be anything from a balconnet shape, other wise known as a half cup bra, which suits the smaller bust size, through to a plunge padded style which creates more of a cleavage to the bust and finally, if she is bigger busted, a full cup bra. Most of these styles are underwired, so do check that her bras are as these days you can buy some non-wired bras but generally not for the bigger bust.
Next, look at colours and fabrics. Is she a pastel shaded girl or a confident bold print lady. Does she prefer silk, lots of lace, or cotton for example. All these points will make buying your lingerie a much easier task.
Next briefs. Is she a thong, string, short or brief  lady. Nowadays lots of women are verying away from thongs and opting for comfort with pretty shaped briefs. Again, these can be high cut, hipster or boyleg, so look in her knicker draw to get an idea. Thongs tend to be slightly wider at the back, and therefore more comfortable, than its counterpart, the string which as the name implies, is very skimpy.
From having done the above homework, you should be able to give all these details to your local lingerie boutique, who will be very happy that you have given them so much information, and select ranges for you to choose from.
Also, a man should also put his input into lingerie buying as a women will feel very complimented if she thinks that you like what she is wearing.
If you are feeling very adventurous, and it is Christmas, why not ask to have a look at basques/corsets. Nowadays these come in wonderful fabrics such as silk and French levers lace and look extremely glamourous. They often have detachable suspenders so if your lady is into wearing stockings, donât forget to purchase a pair to go with the outfit. Again once you know her size, then the sales lady can help you with regard to fit for a Beautiful, Stylish Designer Lingerie and Swimwear for everyday and special occasions from Juste Moi, UK. Brands include Aubade, Gottex and Miraclesuit.
basque or corset. If your partner is a confident lady, often these basques can be worn underneath an evening jacket particularly if they are made in satin, to add extra glamour.
Also if buying a basque, donât forget to include a matching brief, thong or string to complete the set.
If all else fails and you find the whole exercise too daunting, then you can always opt for nightwear. Todayâs nightwear can be equally glamorous and sexy ranging from short knee length chemises in silk and lace to full length silk night dresses with shoe string straps lace and side splits in sexy black through to Christmas red. These normally are sized a lot easier, ie small, medium and large. You can also add a matching nightrobe if youâre feeling indulgent.
Finally, if the store offers a gift wrapping service then jump at it, even if they make a small charge. One you know they will make a better job of it than you, often using co-ordinating tissue, gift boxes and ribbon, and it saves you another job.
You never know after this exercise you might come to enjoy lingerie buying!
