The type of lingerie a woman chooses is often a direct reflection of her personality. Because of this, you should always keep the preferences of the individual in mind when you are purchasing lingerie as a gift. This can often be a daunting task, partially because of the many styles of lingerie available and partially because of the unusual way lingerie is sized. Thankfully buyer’s can simplify their task by answering two questions; what style does she prefer and what size does she wear?

The term lingerie applies to many different styles of undergarments and private wear. It can be anything from sexy teddies or bustiers to simple bra and panty sets. In addition to the many styles lingerie comes in, it also comes in many colors. To determine the styles and colors your loved one will like best, think about the clothes she wears every day. You should also think about the lingerie she already owns. If most of the items she purchases are focused on comfort, you will want to purchase a piece of soft, loose fitting lingerie in her favorite color. This will give her the comfort she prefers. However, if the majority of her wardrobe is designed to make her look sexy, you may wish to select a bolder piece of lingerie. A red or black bustier with matching panties may be quite appropriate.

No matter what style or color you decide to purchase, make sure you buy the lingerie in the correct size. The sizing for lingerie varies. At times, it may simply be labeled small, medium or large. At other times, you may be facing sizes that list a number and letter, such as 36 C or 34 B. If you intend to buy panties, there is yet a third size you will need to know. Panties come sized two different ways. Some will be sized by her pant size. Others will be sized by a sizing method that is specific to underwear. You will need to be very careful with this selection because the two will look the same on the tag, but be very different on the person. For instance, if your special someone wears a size 10 in pants, she will wear a size 6 underwear by some sizing methods, and a size 10 in other sizing methods.

Do not let the sizing of lingerie intimidate you. There is a very easy way to find all of the size information you need. Chances are if you are in a relationship that is serious enough that you are purchasing lingerie, you already have access to your loved ones clothing. Check the labels in the clothing they wear most often for sizes. Look until you find an example of each size. Find out her pant size, bra size, panty size and something that is assigned the more generic label of small, medium, or large. This will give you a guide to go by when shopping. If you have further questions about size, ask a person in the shop you are at or look at the sizing section of the website you are shopping on. This will provide you with all you need to know to make a successful lingerie purchase for your special someone.
