 If you don’t have a lot of experience picking out lingerie, and want to surprise him with a sizzling ensemble this Valentine’s Day, we can help!
There are many tips and tricks you can use to get the most for your dollar, by finding lingerie that really flatters your particular body type.
All women are different, and what works for one woman may not be as sexy on another! By paying attention to your natural shape and attributes, you can focus his attention on the most beautiful parts of you!
Here are some great tips and tricks for finding lingerie that really works for your own, individual body type. Once you’ve found the perfect pieces for you, you’ll be sure to raise his temperature this Valentine’s Day:
Know Your Body Type
1. Lean/Boyish
If your figure is lean and boyish, consider special bras with discreet padding in order to create the illusion of cleavage. As well, consider things like subtle ruffles, in order to add a sense of hourglass curviness to your silhouette. Also, you can simply play up what nature has blessed you with, by finding sleek, tight lingerie that highlights your enviable slimness. While very full figured women tend to avoid shiny, sexier fabrics like satin, you don’t need to stay away from any embellishments and shine. Find a tight camisole in scarlet or black, and play up your figure with sexy fabric that hugs you tight.
Also, don’t be afraid of patterns, such a floral lace. Since you are slim, they will only enhance your figure. Your figure is the most sophisticated body type, and many models have very lean figures, with small breasts. Think high fashion and sleek catwalk style when you seek out lingerie that suits you.
2. Curvy/Hourglass
If you have a classic hourglass figure, enjoy your balanced, sexy proportions on Valentine’s Day. Look back to Old Hollywood, when the hourglass figure was revered by so many, and create a sexy pin-up look he’ll love. Stars like Marilyn Monroe knew that their classic curves were flattered by bustiers, good bras with under wires and push-up features, and even smooth nightgowns with a vintage feel, with plunging necklines. High heels and stockings will give you the pin-up look, and add a longer line to your silhouette. Have fun with the whole look: red lipstick looks great by candlelight, and so does full, wavy hair.
You can find shots of Old Hollywood stars like Marilyn Monroe, or Jane Russell, to get a sense of makeup from that era that will go with your lingerie.
3. Full-Figured
There are many wonderful options for lingerie that flatters your full, lush curves. Don’t be afraid to go out and try on all sorts of things, even if they seem designed for skinny models. In order to find the best lingerie, you should look for a little more coverage overall: for example, instead of tiny g-string panties and teensy bras, look for larger styles that are sexy, but cover you up a little bit more, in order to balance your body type. Bras with thicker straps can still have beautiful satin and lace detailing, but they will be more supportive and comfortable for you. Underwear with proper sides and back will flatter you best, rather than just a little piece of string, or thong, which might make you appear larger.
Embrace your lushness will bustiers that fit you properly, and higher-waisted panties: then have fun, with slimming black stockings, and stiletto heels: the more height you add with high heels, the slimmer and sexier you will feel on Valentine’s Day. Men really do love the natural curves and fleshiness of a voluptuous woman, so channel you inner Venus with sexy styles in sensual colors that are not too bright: deep plum, black, and midnight blue would work well for your body type.
