The Lovehoney Guide to Buying Sexy Lingerie Online
Follow this Lovehoney Lingerie advice guide to select sexy lingerie online that’ll have you or your babe feeling damn fine!
Buying lingerie online can be a baffling process - with so many styles to choose from and different sizing conventions, it can be overwhelming. Luckily, the Lovehoney lingerie experts are racing to your rescue. In this lingerie guide, we will walk through the best online lingerie styles on offer and how to find the perfect lingerie for yourself or the lucky gal you’re gifting to.
How to Buy Lingerie Online
If tossing up between all of the different sexy lingerie styles has your panties in a twist, follow these no-fail hot tips.
Choose a style that accentuates your favourite features, such as a skimpy pair of panties to flaunt your peachy tush or an open-cup bra to put the gals on full display.
Select colours that you’d typically wear day-to-day to feel your most comfortable and confident. If you’re a bold dresser, choose an eye-catching colour-popping garment. If your style is more on the classic side, opt for sensual monochrome garments such as black, white, cream or nude tones.
If you’re still unsure of what style, colours or fabrics to choose, go for classic sexy - black or white lace lingerie is always a failsafe option.
Always rock your lingerie with confidence, because nothing’s hotter than feeling yo’ self.
How to Buy Lingerie Online for Her
So, you’re thinking of gifting your babe some beautiful lingerie? She’s a lucky gal! To ensure when she opens her gift that a look of delight rather than dismay appears on her face, follow these expert tips.
Take a peek into her underwear drawer - by doing so you can gauge exactly what she adores and feels most comfortable in. While having a snoop, be sure to take note of her bra, underwear and clothing size.
Choose colours and fabrics you know that she likes to wear - dive into your memory bank and think of the types of fabrics and colours you see her wear most often. If you choose lingerie in a similar vein, you’re more likely to hit the lingerie gift jackpot.
Select a seductive style - if she’s worn sexy lingerie before, stick to a style you know that she’s worn and enjoyed. If this is a new area for both of you, look to her clothing style for guidance. If she often wears tight and figure-hugging clothes, try a basque, bustier or corset. Whereas if she wears more free-flowing items, look to babydolls and chemises.
Filter your search - while searching for sexy lingerie online, filter your options by colour, material, style and size to find her perfect piece. If you’re unsure of what size she’d be, you can’t go wrong with one-size lingerie.
Bras and Bra Sets
Bra and bra sets are a lingerie staple for good reason - they are a simple sexy solution for alluring daywear or playtime attire. Bra sets irresistibly highlight the combination of your tatas and tush for a double-whammy effect. Lovehoney offers a seductive selection of bra and bra and underwear sets to choose from, with styles, sizes and colours to suit all. Choose from longline, quarter cup, triangle, front-fastening, peek-a-boo bras and more. For underwear to match, you can dress up in a g-string, crotchless, suspender knickers and many more styles. Check out our Beginner’s Guide to Bra Styles to find the best bra for you.
