Top tips lingerie lovers should know

Before we set out on a mission to find the perfect and most flattering lingerie, we want to  you as best you can enlighten with the best tips out there so you feel sexy and confident. Let us be your confidant…

1.Comfort is key

No matter how sexy your lingerie looks, you’ll never want to wear it for a long time if it doesn’t fit properly. Chances are you wear it once and it will stay in the back of your closet never to see the light of day again. You should become familiar with the term “bust support” as it provides maximum comfort. Features such as soft brushed elastic under the bust and elastic contouring of the neckline have never been more desirable until now. Our blog post “Why wear nightwear with breast support?” give you more details

2.Know your body type

Knowledge is power. Knowing your body type is essential when looking for the perfect lingerie piece. If you are a pear shape, you share your beautiful curves with Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez – lucky you! Choose a flared skirt with a slash cut and stretch lace in contrasting colors to flatter your curves and balance your shape on top. A plunging neckline and defined waist will dramatize the effect. If you’re more like Ariana Grande, who is petite and compact, look for spaghetti straps and deep V-neckline to elongate those endless legs. If you’re the Kim Kardashian’s of the world, they’re all jealous of your classic pin-up girl with a slim waist and full curves. Feel like a queen in flowing kimono sleeves and a fold-over neckline at the front to accentuate your cleavage. Accentuate your best features and show them off girl! With all the different body shapes out there, it’s hard to know what looks best on you. Our previous blog post is the perfect guide to determining what body shape you have and which celebrity you can brag about sharing it with. Check it out here.

3.Show off your best features

The whole point of wearing lingerie, other than feeling good about yourself, is highlighting your best features. Learn to play to your strengths and you will never go wrong. Concentrate on what you want to accentuate and then execute. Let your significant other’s imagination run wild when they see what you’re wearing from behind. An open back with crossed designed straps will highlight your best feature. It’s a party in the back. If you want to show off your bust, explore deep necks to grab attention and focus attention on your best asset. The Morgan Iconic Bust Support Silk Chemise does just that. If you like your shapely and long legs, go for shirts that fall a few inches above the knee and a figure-hugging bustline to give the illusion that your legs will last forever. One of the nicest assets to show off is your loot! You are not afraid to show it. Something sheer and short will definitely do the trick.

4. Customize your style

Whether sweet and sensual or bold and bold, your signature look should always match your style. -YOU ARE THE ROMANTIC- If you’re angelic and romantic, try a soft pink singlet or a delicate lace bra and panties. Your closet is filled with pastel shades, lace and embroidered detailed lingerie that embodies your sweet and ladylike personality. -YOU ARE THE MINIMALIST- Your closet is the classic “back to basics” wardrobe. You want your lingerie to be functional, neutral in color and without frills. You believe in less is more and you go for quality over quantity. -YOU ARE THE GLAMOR PUSS- People turn heads as you walk the streets and the office. There is no such thing as overdone and you take pride in your sophisticated appearance. Silk and lace are the only textures you will wear in lingerie as they will make you feel like the luxurious queen that you are. -YOU ARE THE WILD CHILD- You are a trendsetter and not afraid to wear loud prints. You are the life of the party at every event and everyone is drawn to your cheerful personality. This is shown through lingerie that is body conscious, bright tones and a tad revealing so that the eye wanders… -YOU ARE THE SEXY SIREN- You are not afraid to show what you have. Confidence radiates from you and it’s really empowering – especially expressed in your lingerie choices. Your lingerie drawer reveals cut-out pieces, sheer material and lingerie that leaves little to the imagination in the best possible way.

5.Size Matters:

This one is a given and not exactly a secret. Because not wearing the right size can lead to discomfort and that is certainly not a sexy feeling! It should be the perfect fit and show off your curves. Every brand has a different size chart, so you should pay attention before buying your lingerie online. Check out our size chart guide to the bust support level here. Learn more “Why wear lingerie for bust support.”

6.Know your textures

There are so many options when it comes to choosing a texture. Never settle for less than top quality when lingerie is the material closest to your body. We’ve narrowed it down and shared the most important information you need to know before making a decision: Silk is incredibly luxurious, comfortable and lightweight. It is a bit more difficult to wash, but it absorbs moisture well and does not stick to the body in hot weather. Latex is durable, flexible and moderately neutral. The downside is that it’s pricey and doesn’t relieve the pressure. Microfibre offers many advantages, such as soft, comfortable, breathable and quick-drying. The yarns used to weave the fabric provide good airflow. Rayon is very absorbent and drapes well; however, it requires a lot of care when washing and loses its strength when wet. Nylon is a fabric that is ideal for lingerie because it is elastic, non-absorbent, dries quickly and retains its shape. It’s also easy to clean, making it a great choice for the busy woman on the go. Cotton is known for being extremely soft and comfortable. It is a natural fiber which makes it breathable and reduces the risk of bacterial infections. Finally, lycra spandex molds to the skin and stretches with the body, making it ideal if your weight fluctuates from time to time. Read more here.

7.Color choice

Choosing a color can be a daunting task. First of all, select the color tones that best suit your skin tone. If your hair color is a darker brown or blonde and your skin has a greenish or yellowish undertone, go for orange, red, golden yellow, amber and honey gold in the warm color family. Your favorite colors in the cool color family are warmer greens, blues and reds-purple. Jessica Alba would proudly call you a skin-colored twin! If your hair color is dark to light blonde and your skin has a bluish undertone (very fair to very dark), your cool color family consists of bright blue, jewel tones, and lavender. Shocking pink, cerise, ruby, bright rose belong in your warm color family. Cate Blanchett is the doppelganger of your celebrity skintone. Use the color guide below to make this decision even easier for you. Second, think of the occasion. Is the occasion sweet and romantic, a night full of passion or streetwear appropriate? Our recommendation is to have a neutral palette for everyday wear; however, don’t forget those bright colors and patterns for when you’re feeling extra adventurous. Choose wisely and dress to impress.

8.Right Occasion, Right Lingerie

What are your Friday night plans? Maybe it’s time to feel adventurous and bring your lace shirt, pumps and favorite skinny jeans to play. Complete the look with a black leather jacket and you are assured of a fun night out with your friends. Alternatively, be on your way and enjoy the day. One of the hottest trends is transforming lingerie into streetwear and who doesn’t love to feel good in their multifunctional wardrobe? Pick your shirt or dress and take it from the sheets to the street to elevate your daytime look. Give it an effortless vibe by teaming it with a white T or relaxed Converse sneakers and you’re good to go. Alexa Chung and Pandora Sykes have fully embraced this trend with our Glamazon dress. And of course, who can’t forget to slip into lingerie for a romantic evening with your significant other. Remember that your loved one wants you to feel good about yourself, so own your look! Slip on a sexy lingerie set or take it to the next level with a sheer baby doll – they won’t be able to resist.
