Lingerie for Your Body Type

Women come in all shapes and sizes... and the same can be said about the undergarments we wear! Various bras and panties are made for different body types, and it only makes sense that we sport lingerie that will maximize our sexiness rather than hinder it. Read on for tips on how to choose the perfect items, as well as some suggestions based on your shape.

Know your size. Before you shop, take a good look at your body to see if you fall under any particular shape (see below) to determine what would look best on you. Also, make sure you know your bra size, as you want undergarments that fit you perfectly rather than be too tight. You definitely want these items to create a good shape underneath your clothes.

Don’t buy items because they look good. You may stumble upon the most gorgeous lace bra and panty set, but don’t buy it merely because it is sexy. It may appear gorgeous on the hanger, but make sure it looks just as good on your body, too. You may even see something that may not seem like your cup of tea on the rack, but looks stunning on you.

Look at colour, too. Not only do you have to make sure the size and shape go well with your body type, ensure the colours go well with your skin tone. If you’re rather pale, for example, don’t wear earth tones like orange and beige as they will make you look pasty. If you are dark or olive-skinned, you can get away with bold colours like yellow or coral.
