Valentine’s Day is around the corner and you may be stressing trying to think of ideas. Choosing the usual chocolates and flowers can always be a romantic gesture, however there are other gifts which can show you have put more thought and effort into.

Whether your girlfriend or wife takes Valentine’s day seriously or not, there will be a gift you can give which will show her how much you appreciate her. One gift that many always overlook is lingerie. Mainly because there’s sizing involved and that’s where it can go wrong. We have put together this easy to follow Lingerie buyers guide to help you out so you can make your partner feel special this February 14th.

Choosing a style:

Lingerie comes in many different styles and colours. Choosing sexy lingerie can be difficult but by finding a style you like for your partner, or by choosing something similar to what they usually like helps. You can choose from matching bra and panty sets, chemises, teddy’s and corsets. Also, when you are thinking about what lingerie style you want to buy, you may want to think about if you are buying it for everyday use or for special occasions.

See our Lingerie buyers guide at the bottom of this article.

Finding the right size:

Choosing the right size is the most important part of buying lingerie. If you do not check beforehand, and it does not fit, it can ruin the gift. If you are buying lingerie for a girlfriend or wife, you can either ask for their size, which could take away the element of surprise. Alternatively to this if you want it to be a surprise, you can sneakily check their underwear drawer for sizing and take a note of it. This way you know you can head to the shops, or online, knowing that you can accurately find something that will fit.

Choosing the colour:

You will probably already know what colour lingerie your partner already has or likes, so from there you will already have an idea of what colours you could choose from. However, as you are buying lingerie for Valentines Day, you may want to choose the usual colours such as reds and blacks. If you don’t think your partner would go for red lingerie, there are plenty of other seductive colours of lingerie such as dark blues or purples which look stunning.

The main thing to make sure of is that just because you love a particular piece of lingerie, you will want to make sure it is also something of her tastes too. So when you are looking in her underwear drawer for ideas, take notice to get inspiration.
