Your partner or wife drops subtle hints that she would appreciate some beautiful Christmas lingerie for her Christmas present this year. This leads you to consider wriggling out of it by saying that you are not sure what to buy, or because you may have previously bought lingerie for her that she has never worn. Worst of all you may end up giving her the money and asking her to buy it herself.
Men often make mistakes when they purchase underwear for their partners because there is simply so much to choose from in the shops. Women as a rule also know precisely what they like and do not like regarding their lingerie. All of these factors can make a man worried and uncertain when faced with the choice of what underwear to buy.
Around Christmas time, many lingerie shops will have “expert” consultants to help men choose underwear for women. Even though this is an innovative development it continues to be a fact that certain men are basically too shy to ask about this delicate subject.
Below are some simple things to bear in mind when buying lingerie for your partner or wife.
Initially, it is important to do your research just like if you embark on any other new venture. The correct size is a crucial factor in getting your present right. You need to check your partner’s underwear collection and record the sizes. Look at the labels. On slips you are looking for a number; an example is 10 or 14. They can also be classed as small, medium or large. Bras will have a number for chest size and a letter for cup size, something like 38B. In order to not forget it is best to write the sizes down.
Also note down the types of lingerie. Is the style mostly plain, sporty or sexy? If the collection is full of comfortable cotton underwear don’t buy anything too unpractical and if you see lots of lacy items she will probably not appreciate plain white cotton slips.
When it comes to colours, almost anything goes. The trendiest underwear sets come in all sorts of colours these days. Take a note of what colours your partner likes and try to co-ordinate. Nothing is more boring than set of plain white or cream knickers as a Christmas lingerie present.
Once you have noted her preferences and you are ready to start shopping, be sure to follow the advice below to be completely successful.
Most women prefer matching sets. A secret hint is to buy some extra slips for the set so that the ensemble can be used more often.
With lingerie you nearly always get what you pay for so it is best to splurge a little bit. Cheap lingerie tends not to last and does not give good support.
Look at the fabrics too. If she wears a lot of t-shirts it would be best to opt for smooth fabrics. This applies to colours too. Do not buy bright pink bras if she usually wears light coloured clothing.
Bras are probably the most complicated item of underwear to purchase. You will need to look at whether a model is under-wired, what shape it has etc. As a general rule of thumb, under-wired, low-cut and balconette models are the most flattering. Anything which mentions padding or slimming is likely to be unappreciated as a Christmas gift.
You have purchased your lovely lingerie, now as a final touch make it look exquisite to give. Use the shop’s wrapping service if they have one. If they don’t, buy some tasteful wrapping paper or a special box in which to present it. Do not wrap it in tacky Christmas paper covered in reindeer.
