A Man’s Guide to Buying Lingerie this Christmas

Tips for the trickiest Christmas gift

To the average man, shopping for lingerie can be a daunting task at the best of times. Getting it wrong could be disastrous for a relationship, however, with a little planning and thought there are ways to ensure that the lady in your life receives the best Christmas present this year.

Size

First things first, do your homework carpet cleaners helston and make sure you get the correct size...the most important part of the planning process. Don’t just take a wild guess. Raid her lingerie draw, find the bra that she loves to wear and jot down the size. The temptation to pick up the nearest thing that looks vaguely her size is the easy way out but the results can be uncomfortable at the best and offensive at the worst.

If you are worried about getting her bra size right then try considering nightwear as an option. There are some fabulous silk and vintage pyjama sets around but for something a little sexier try a chemise – a short night gown made out of light material.

Colour

Raid her wardrobe and take a look at what colours are most prominent. Is there a colour that she wears more frequently than others and does she have a favourite colour? Remember red can be sexy, but there is so much more choice in lingerie today so find a colour which she will love and she will appreciate it more for the extra thought.

Accessorise

Go that extra mile with attention to detail and accessorise her lingerie for the ultimate Christmas present. Try picking out some matching jewellery, a handbag or stockings to go with the lingerie that you have chosen.

Buying a set is a must – women love to receive a set of lingerie, especially if it’s a present. A set doesn’t necessarily mean bra and pants, but it could also consist of a corset or basque and pants.

Buying Online

For a man, stepping into a lingerie shop can be a terrifying and embarrassing experience. In recent years some high street stores have ‘expert’ advisors on hand in the run up to Christmas; however, the power of the internet has helped to save the blushes of many men.

There is now an extensive selection of lingerie available online where you can have gifts delivered to your door without having to face the stores. Most sites also offer guidance and advice via email and telephone and some even have bra fitting guides.

Finally, remember that you are buying lingerie for her. Make sure you choose something that she will like and feel comfortable in, rather that choosing something which will make your day.
