Christmas Underwear Gifts - Men's Buyers Guide

As everyone knows, lingerie is a popular last minute Christmas gift for men to buy their partners. Everyone woman loves nice lingerie, and every man loves to see his partner looking sexy and beautiful in her underwear. It is a win-win option. However, every year men manage to chose the wrong item. They chose something that looks sexy and luxurious, and then their partner never wears it again. So, how do you chose the right lingerie for your partner? If you make the right choice, you can get into her good books, which can pay dividends over the Christmas season. But get it wrong, and you pay the price! The most obvious way to chose the right underwear is to take a good look at your partners current collection (remembering to also not sizes). Look for the newest items, or the ones that are worn the most often, as new items in these styles will please. Remember, you are not buying lingerie for you, you are buying for your partner! Once you have an idea of what she likes now, see what is on the market that is similar, but with something special added. Something simple but with a lacy finish is ideal - something which is not in the usual budget for underwear. One tip is that meshes and stretchy materials are generally far more forgiving - you can sometimes get away with being a size out. Bra sizes tend to be true or at least close. There are some items that you really should avoid buying as a gift: Do not buy any control or slimming pieces, as this sends the wrong message! These may be her preferred items, but you are not supposed to know that they are designed to make her tummy look smaller! With bras do not buy anything designed to make the breasts appear larger, again, this sends the wrong message to your partner. Avoid kinky items completely, unless you are a really kinky couple. Generally these items are best left to your partner to chose, or bought together. Remember to keep that receipt just in case. Take a look at La Senza and Figleaves, as they have some great deals on sexy and stylish lingerie this season.

The Story of Lingerie - Book Review from Amazon

Book Description What do the thousands of images of bras and panties on perfectly sculpted bodies that we see spread across billboards and magazines say about our society? Many women indulge in lingerie to please men. Yet, since Antiquity, women have always kept lingerie hidden away under outer garments. Thus, lingerie must be more than erotic bait. Authors Muriel Barbier and Shazia Boucher have researched iconography to explore the relationship of lingerie to society, the economy and the corridors of intimacy. They correlate lingerie with emancipation, querying whether it asserts newfound freedoms or simply adjusts to conform to changing social values. The result is a rigorous scientific rationale spiced with a zestly humour. And the tinier lingerie gets, the more scholarly attention the authors believe it deserves. About the authors: Muriel Barbier and Shazia Boucher Muriel Barbier is a talented postgraduate student at the Ecole du Louvre where she now teaches 17th to 19th century decorative arts. She is also a lecturer at the Fashion and Textile Museum and other UCAD museums and Curating Assistant at the Galliera Museum. Shazia Boucher is Curator at the Musée de la Dentelle in Calais, and often contributes to exhibitions on fashion, lingerie, and lace.

Tips For Men On Buying Sexy Lingerie

Every man has done it - or will do it - and you know who you are! You walk into the lingerie department and pick out something you saw on a size two hottie in a movie and take it home for your lady and then wonder why she never wears it. Buying sexy lingerie for your lover can be really romantic or really tragic. Intimate underwear is a gift for the two of you. If you get it right it shows that you really care, really pay attention to her and have put effort into thinking about her style. It can also be very hazardous to your relationship if you bring home something that is more bordello than bedroom. Get it right, guys, and there are some MAJOR brownie points to be earned. Get it wrong, well...that is where I come in...don't ever get it wrong again! Before you even leave the house or start surfing the net to buy anything make sure you remember the cardinal rule of lingerie buying IT IS NOT FOR YOU!! OK - maybe in a roundabout way it is - but you are not wearing it. Remember who is wearing it. If you buy a strappy leather cupless crotchless number for the lady who has never worn anything except plain jane the chances are slim she is going to feel comfortable in it. Chances are she will tell you to wear it! Think of her style - you can never go wrong with lace and the nice stretchy mesh. If it is your first time buying stick with something basic but different - you can always get more daring next time if she responds to your choice. For the most part women want lingerie that says "I love you" NOT "Let's do it" The second thing you want to do is do some research - DO NOT try to guess her size - unless you find the couch and dog a more comfortable night than your bed and a nice lady in lingerie. Look into the things she already has and get the size of something similar to what you plan to buy. Women's sizes vary by manufacturer. Meshes and stretchy materials tend to be more forgiving and range sizes (something marked Small/Medium) are a better bet than something marked Size 4. Bra sizes tend to be true or at least close. Pay attention to things she comments on when watching movies and such - does she go gaga over the things the girls in Sex and the City wear or does she just HAVE to have that dress Mrs. Cleaver was wearing? Note the colors and styles of her regular lingerie - there is usually a difference between a black lingerie lover and a red lingerie lover. Remember, you want to buy something she will wear for you and something that will cause her to think about you when she wears it - so you want it to be her style. THINGS TO AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Avoid anything marked "Control" or "Slimming" These are to suck in bellies and hide excess weight - not the sexiest message in the world, eh? Gel filled, water filled and cleavage enhancing bras - Okay if it is her style, but otherwise No No No - she may feel like you wish she were larger on top. Kinky stuff in general doesn't generally work as an "I love you" kind of gift unless it is something you two have talked about and decided you wanted to try out. It is not the kind of thing you want to just buy on your own but more of a joint decision. A word or two about presentation: Handing her the bag from the store with the receipt attached takes some of the romance out of the gift. Most stores will have a gift-wrapping service for a couple of bucks. After all of the thought you put into the lingerie, it is well worth it - otherwise, you can go to any card and gift shop and get a nice gift bag and tissue paper and a sexy card and make your own pretty package. Shopping online: One of the great things about shopping for lingerie online is that there is a ton of information available that you simply cannot find in a lingerie store. When browsing an online lingerie retailer take a look at their gift ideas, top sellers list et cetera for ideas of what are popular choices. KEEP THE RECEIPT Even after all of your hard work and dedication she just may prefer something else - always keep the receipt in a safe place and you can go back together to pick out a replacement. Use it as a learning experience to find out what she liked or did not like and next time you can make an even better choice.

Lingerie: It Can Be Both Sexy And Comfortable

Between men and woman there will always be different opinions on what to buy. Lingerie can be sexy, and comfortable as well as long it is the right size. Don’t try to wear bras and underwear for the size you want to be, wear the right size for you and you will be more comfortable and definitely more yourself. It is estimated that over 70% of women wear the wrong bra size. A bra that is too tight can leave a pinching red mark on your back caused by the tightened elastic. It will also lead to bad posture because the breasts are not supported correctly. If you are wearing a bra where you are coming out of it or your curves not smooth than the bra may be too small. If the strap of the bra is coming up from under your rib cage the bra may be too small as well. Make sure to have the correct measurements and then go from there. In buying underwear it depends on what the occasion will be as you would probably not wear the same underwear painting your house as you would if you were at the clubs. A thong can be a sexy piece of underwear with the right outfit but it can also be uncomfortable at times. Pick the underwear that fits you, comfortable, and fits the occasion. When buying sexy lingerie pick something that could get your lover excited but don’t just pick it because you want to see either your partner or you in it, pick it for your partner as you will be happier later. You can shop for lingerie together or make a surprise gift for a special occasion or just to surprise them. Its all about what taste you have: if you like it try it, if not leave it. It all matters as to what can turn a couple on, not anyone else. About The Author Hazel Smith writes for http://www.lingerie-pastel.com, a website packed with lingerie articles and resources

Buying Women's Pajamas: A New Sexy Choice For A Gift

Women's pajamas are already included in today's modern definition of lingerie. Lingerie is not all about sexy panties, teddies, bustier, sleepwear, or thongs. It includes all linen articles, garments, and underwear. Women and men alike are all enjoying the many choices of undergarments now available in the market. You can find pajamas made of nylon, silk, cotton, lace, and many more. And aside from that, you can choose from a range of colors; from pastel colors like lavender and pink to bold ones like black and red. Most of today's pajamas appear in all sizes and shapes. You can choose among feminine, luxury, classic, fun, sexy and maternity/nursing pajamas. If you want to buy luxurious lingerie, you can expect to pay a larger than the usual price. These types of garments are made by 'well-known' designers. However, most undergarments are reasonably priced. Including pajamas, all undergarments are available online and in local stores. If you want to shop around and look for the best possible pajama-gift, you can hop from store to store. If budget is a problem, you can look for a good buy without sacrificing the quality of the garment. There are a lot of local stores that you can check out. If you're considering giving pajamas as a gift, here are several steps to consider: - what's your relationship with the recipient - choose a style and the fabric; there are nightgown styles, and others can be made of satin, silk, and cotton - you can find the best variety and price in apparel shops, department stores, and online sites - choose a color scheme; does she prefer a floral mélange, cartoon themes, plaids, or solid colors - find the right size; whether small, medium or large, and if you are not that sure, it would be better to go for a much smaller size - you can compliment the pajamas together with a towel set or a matching robe - make sure that you give extra effort on the gift wrapping; you can also top it off with a book, a tea, etc All it takes is a little creativity. Add personal touches on the gift. Your friend or loved one will be very much surprised once she opens the gift and finds a beautiful pajama inside. She will most likely be flattered with your exotic gift and would be eager to try it on immediately. It would be better to give pajamas as a gift to a very close girl friend or a loved one. You personally know her preferences so choosing for the one that would meet her taste will not be a problem. Make sure that you choose a pajama that she will like; don't make a purchase simply because you like it. Remember that you're there to buy a present, and not to buy you're very own pajamas. For many years, the lingerie industry is growing more and more every year. This means that more women are becoming aware of the need to feel confident and comfortable from within. They are slowly coming out of their shell, young and old. There is no required age to feel comfy and sexy. Your special loved one or friend is sure to spend a cozy night being comfortable, wearing the pajamas that you gave.

Lingerie Colours And Styles To Flatter

by: Robert Stanley Chocolate can make you fat, flowers wilts and great jewelry is a strain on the bank balance. Lingerie, on the other hand, is the gift that truly keeps on giving and giving and giving and provides a lot of pleasure. Here's how to buy it right. Pure Unadalterated flattery Not every woman feels comfortable with exposing her cheeks in a sexy thong. Put some deep thought into what parts of her body she feels most comfortable with and choose lingerie to accentuate those aspects of her figure. A couple of hints: Show off nice legs in something short like a baby doll or short chemise. Push up great cleavage with a halter or bustier style. Display sexy toned arms with a camisole. Have fun Get her in touch with her inner child by choosing fun prints like cherries or clouds. Or appeal to her wilder side: animal prints, lace or bold colors like red are perfect. Colors Black, red and white (or off-white) look good on almost everyone. Blondes look fabulous in pastels, and brunettes can carry off bolder colors like purple and emerald green. Redheads should favour greens, blues and earthy tones. Soft touch If you like touching the garment, she'll like wearing it. Velvet, silk and satin have lots of tactile appeal. If you're buying online, stick with fabrics that you already know what they feel like. Get comfy Casual, updated intimates come in styles like tank tops, bikinis and p.j.s. Look for cotton, flannel or other naturally cozy fabrics. Sizes The best way to find her correct size is to ask. Alternatives: you can snoop around the lingerie drawer to find the sizes of stuff she already owns. Or you can guess (tricky territory and prone to disaster). Presentation Don't forget to gift wrap the lingerie (or have it professionally wrapped) with stylish paper and a lots of tissue paper. You can get creative and make bags or baskets with related items, like a book of love poetry, a bottle of champagne or great-smelling body products and candles wo set the atmosphere. Key styles Chemise - A straight gown that skims the body. Negligee - A loose, usually sheer, gown.Peignoir set - Negligee that includes a matching sheer robe. Babydoll - A short gown that fits around the bust, flares toward hemline. Pajamas - Pants and top, originally styled after men's p.j.s. Bustier - A usually strapless elongated bra that provides extra lift to the breasts. Camisole - A sleeveless top that can be paired with matching undies or worn under a jacket for work. Teddy - A one-piece style, similar to a bodysuit. About The Author This article was written by Robert Stanley. For more information visit http://lingerie.ciaobuybuy.co.uk.

Lingerie Buying Guide (Written For Men, But Can Be Used By Women)

By: LingerieDiva So, you're thinking about buying lingerie for the woman (or man) in your life. A well chosen gift of lingerie is one of the most romantic things you can do. It is an intimate gift which can make lady feel sexy and loved. Purchase the right gift of lingerie and odds are you'll be invited to unwrap it later on. Choose the wrong lingerie and you will almost certainly live to regret it. This guide will show you how to choose the right gift of lingerie (the kind of gift that keeps on giving). First, if you don't know a bustier from a babydoll check out the lingerie glossary at http://www.lingeriediva.com/lingerie_glossary_s/12.htm. 1. The lingerie is NOT for you Yes, I know you think it's for you. But, if she won't wear it, then it's a gift that neither of you will enjoy. So you need to choose something that she will like. How do you know what she'll like? Just follow steps 2 and 3 below. 2. What's the occasion? Or, not occasion at all! Are you buying her lingerie for a special occasion - birthday, Christmas, Valentine's Day, anniversary? A silky robe or sexy gown makes a great birthday or Christmas gift. For Valentine's Day or your anniversary try a babydoll, camisole, chemise, or teddy. Maybe you're buying lingerie in order to to spice things up. Try giving her lingerie for no reason at all and see the reaction! Depending on her disposition you might want to try something in leather or vinyl. You can also play dress up with a sexy costume or corset. Before you buy, you also need to think about how and where will the lingerie be worn? Is this an item that will be primarily worn in the bedroom, for your eyes only? Will she wear it under her everyday clothes? She might be willing to wear something that's somewhat uncomfortable for a few minutes in the bedroom, but she won't want to wear it all day long. Don't forget that sexy clothes are a perfect compliment to lingerie. They can be worn to a club or for a night on the town. 3. Lingerie recon mission This is something most men can handle - a reconnaissance mission. Feel free to wear fatigues if it helps. You're going to recon her underwear draw and closet. What are you looking for? On this mission you are searching for three pieces of intelligence - size, style, and color. Part A - Size First, you need to know her sizes. So, start by finding her bras. Look at the label. It probably says something like 34B or 36C. Just so you know, the number part is the size in inches around her chest just below the breasts. The letter portion represents cup size (the size of the breasts - A's are smaller than D's). Next, try to find a slip, nightgown, or some of her current lingerie. Note the size - it's usually small, medium, large, x-tra large, etc. Check a few different items and choose the size that appears most often. Part B - Style Now look through her current lingerie and clothes. What styles does she prefer? If all of her panties are briefs, she might not wear a thong (on the other hand maybe she's just waiting for an excuse). If she's never worn leather or vinyl you might need to introduce these type of items gradually. You can start with just panties or a bra. These are not too extreme and are inexpensive. Part C - Color Finally, note the color of her underwear, bras, and lingerie. Who cares about color you ask? Well, she probably does. Some colors might look better on her. Also, if you're planning to buy her something to wear under her everyday clothes, certain colors (like red or black) might show through a sheer blouse. Having said all that, keep in mind that most women won't buy themselves hot red lingerie - this is your job! 4. How much to spend? Remember, cheap lingerie will make her feel cheap. The good news is that high quality lingerie does not have to be expensive. A basic camisole and panty set usually sells for less than $20. Whatever your budget, you can find something she'll love. 5. Time to choose Okay, you've gathered your intelligence and are ready to make a decision. You can travel to the mall and go to one of the large lingerie retailers. Or, better yet purchase online.

What’s Hot In Lingerie For 2006, Boy Shorts

By: Christine McClinden Many people think of lingerie as standard items that remain the same year after year. While lingerie is more intimate and private, like every other fashion item, it changes periodically as trends become more popular. So what’s hot in lingerie for 2006 … boy shorts!. Yesterday’s thong is never going to disappear completely from lingerie and department store shelves. It is the hands down best way to eliminate visible panty lines when you wear tight pants or skirts, but thong sales are definitely on the decline. The sales of boy shorts however, are definitely on fire. If you don’t know what boy shorts are, think of tight short shorts or hot pants. While there are some boy shorts that are a little loose fitting generally speaking they are very figure hugging. This snug fit gives shape to your rear and enhances your figure, making you appear curvier and sexier. Some boy shorts will completely cover your rear, but usually they leave part of it exposed (think of them as ¾ length shorts). For those girls with perfect figures or who like things a little racier, there are styles that provide even less coverage, that resembles a wide band across the upper portion of your rear. Now that we have the basic idea covered, lets talk about styles. Boy shorts come in wide range of styles, colors and fabrics. The most basic styles will come in cotton or polyester blends. If you are going to be wearing boy shorts all day, try choosing something made of microfiber, while slightly more expensive it’s more comfortable, durable and long lasting. For a more elegant look try boy shorts made of silk or satin. These styles often have a lace, decorative or scalloped edging. However the most popular boy shorts are made of lace. Lace boy shorts are definitely the most sexy and alluring choice available. For people who are a little modest, or who find lace slightly itchy, look for double layer lace boy shorts. They have a lace layer on the outside and a second layer of a different material on the inside against your skin. © Lingerie.6ln.com, All Rights Reserved.

Buying Lingerie For The Woman In Your Life: How To Shop Online

By: John Barnes Looking to buy your significant other lingerie as a gift? You’re a brave man, daring to go where most men’s knees shake and palms sweat in pure anxiety. Shopping for lingerie doesn’t have to be too frightening. For starters, forget having to walk into an all-too-feminine lingerie store in the mall where it feels like all eyes are on you. Try shopping online and you’ll find the experience to be much less traumatizing. Still, lingerie is a tricky gift, and there are some very useful tips to shopping for lingerie that will help you find the perfect selection for her. Trust me, if you find the right lingerie gift for the woman in your life. . . well, I don’t have to tell you just how rewarding that can be. First things first: you have to get an idea of what size she is. If you’re living with your partner, this might be a little easier for you. A little investigating in the top drawer of her dresser can produce a good idea of her size. Don’t let all the numbers and letters confuse you. Bras are sized as a number followed by a letter. Remembering both of these is vital when shopping for lingerie, so write them down if you have to. For panties, chemises, and camisoles, you’ll be looking for numbers and letters as well. Those sized in numbers will be labeled as 5, 6, 7, 8, etc., and those sized in numbers will be labeled S, M, L, XL, etc. If you can’t search her dresser, try going on a shopping trip with her and see what size clothing she buys. If you’re truly desperate, find a woman you know that’s a similar size to your partner and ask her what you should be looking for. Just get a general idea of her size and this will put you way ahead of the game. Almost as important as finding something in her size is finding something in her taste. You may think that lingerie is more a gift for you than for her, but you have to remember that when she feels comfortable and sexy, you’ll be the one who reaps the rewards. If she’s more flashy than frilly, go easy on the lacy selections. If she’s usually conservative, don’t try anything way too daring or you may not get the reaction you’re looking for. Take into account the clothing she usually wears and this may give you some ideas. Does she favor a particular color or style? Is her personality feminine, flirty, or downright sexy? Most likely you will be able to use this information when you shop online for lingerie. If you’re still feeling a little confused about finding the right lingerie gift, stick to simple pieces. If you find that the sizing and selection of bra and panty sets is too complicated, try shopping for a simple chemise or babydoll. Women have an eye for detail, so a garment with a little lace or beading around the edges is sure to impress. Fabrics like silk and satin can make any woman feel sexy. Just remember that shopping for a lingerie gift online doesn’t have to be scary or complicated. Take your time and choose something that goes with her personality, and you’ll find the end result to be quite pleasurable.
