Q: I would like to treat my girlfriend to some sexy lingerie for Valentine’s Day. What do you suggest I get her?
A: Corsage or ceriso basque styles are elegant, sexy, and are appreciated by most women. Classic black, cream, or red with embroidery, lace, or delicate ribbons are timeless pieces. See this set from Triumph available at Anthony Ryan’s, or Petticoat Lady on High Street.
The best sexy lingerie for your body shape
Your lingerie should be comfortable and have good support. Styles can vary according to your mood and imagination, but make sure you choose lingerie that suits your shape.
If you are blessed with an hourglass figure, all you need is good support. A bra that pushes you boobs up will give the illusion of bigger breasts while emphasising your defined waist. Chose wider straps for better support. The pants should support you bottom and have details (ribbon, lace, etc ) to make your waist look even smaller.
If you carry your weight on your hips and thighs opt for a push-up bra to accentuate the breasts and reveal your tiny waist. Ruffles, lace, or other details on the bra will draw all the attention on your upper half. The pants should be panty briefs with high cut leg to boost your bottom and make your legs look longer.
For those with weight around the middle, choose balconette bras in vibrant colours. This will push your rack up and therefore flatten your belly. A corsage is also great for you. Go for a high cut pants that sits on the belly. Details on the pants will distract from unwanted weight around the thighs and bottom.
If you wish to create the illusion of volume on your top half go for a padded bra. Diagonal cut cups will give the illusion of curvier breasts. A thong will lengthen your legs. Choose wide side bands with lots of details to give curvier hips.
The styles of the lingerie can vary from bright colours and detailed patterns to subtle tones in delicate fabrics such as silk and satin with romantic finishing touches.
You can get beautiful lingerie to suits all budgets. New Look and Penney’s have sets ranging from €10 to €25. You can treat yourself to gorgeous styles and sets at Petticoat Lady on High Street, Debenham’s or Anthony Ryan’s, and you get even get your bra fitted for free.
