Tips on Choosing Intimate Apparel

Lingerie is something that every woman wants to look good in but not all lingerie is right for every person's body type. Usually one size fits all does not fit all and is not the truth. Choosing the right lingerie will make a woman look and feel sexy if chosen correctly.

• Determining your body shape is the first task. Some woman have a pear shape which is a curvy figure where the hips are bigger than the stomach and the top is small with the bottom being bigger. A woman with a pear shape normally has large thighs and bottoms. A balanced figure with a little bit of curve is called a ruler figure. Most of these women are usually slim. A woman with a figure that has a large chest and smaller hips and thighs is called an apple figure. An apple figure usually consists of a bigger, thicker middle section and smaller everywhere else. Determining your figure first will allow you to choose the right lingerie for your body shape and type.


• Once the body shape is determined, check out the different styles of lingerie that will look good on your shape. There are a large variety of lingerie styles so make sure to choose what you like best when shopping. The selection is better at more expensive stores like Victoria Secrets and Fredericks of Hollywood. If you are pear shaped, look for lingerie that will show off your curves and not your thighs. Ruler figure women should look for lingerie styles that will add some curve appeal to your figure and not allowing the straight body type look. Something with a push up bra, bustier or corset may be a good choice. Women with an apple shape should look for lingerie styles that accent your breasts and not the middle section of your body. Wearing a low-cut babydoll-style will show off your better features such as your breasts while minimizing the stomach area.


• Choose lingerie that makes you feel sexy and happy. Feel good about the lingerie that you choose in order to feel sexy in it.  Purchase lingerie that you can wear with comfort, otherwise you won't wear it.
