Tip 1: Size
Don’t ask her for the size, it will spoil the surprise! The best way is to secretly check on the lingerie she wears most often, as they must fit her best. Do make sure you have the correct sizes before you purchase.
Tip 2: Colour
Colour is a matter of personal preference, as a general guide, please see the following tips depending on different hair colours:
- Blondes look great in the colour Black and in all shades of Blue.
- Redheads look stunning in all shades of Green including Teal, and usually also look great in Pink and other Pastel tones.
- Brunettes are a natural in both White and Red, and sometimes even Black, depending on the skin tone.
Or you can think about the colours she likes and has in her wardrobe. If she prefers quiet colours, she probably won’t appreciate bright and deep colours. If she wears vibrant colours, avoid pastel colours.
If in doubt, Black will be a safer bet, because it looks great on almost everyone.
Tip 3: Style
Golden rule is to choose something she will be comfortable in and will actually wear. There is no point buying her something she will never wear, so put some thought into it and choose lingerie to compliment her preference, body shape and personality. Some examples are shown below:
- Babydolls & Short Chemises show off nice legs.
- Halter Tops play up good coverage.
- Bustiers provide extra lift to the breasts as well as shaping the waist.
- Corsets can knock off 2 to 4 inches off the waist measurements, depending on how tight you are wearing it.
- Balconettes create a great cleavage and a beautiful frame-like effect.
If she is comfortable trying new things, go for something more adventurous such as Leather Wear and even Costumes.
Tip 4: Finishing Touches
Don’t forget to wrap the lingerie in a beautiful gift box, lots of lush tissue paper and wrapping paper. She will appreciate your thoughtfulness and hard work!
