Gentlemen Prefer Lingerie: Mens’ Guide to Gift Giving

Whoever said that “size doesn’t matter” wasn’t talking about lingerie!  Correct fit is crucial when choosing lingerie your girl will feel good in.  If you’ve done a little research in your lady’s lingerie drawer and noted her bra cup and panty sizes, I tip my hat to you!  If you can’t get your hands on her exact sizing, consider a chemise or babydoll style.  With sexy lines that aren’t too clingy, these styles are often available in generic sizes of Extra Small up to Extra Large, making them wonderfully easy to fit.

10260050131 Satin Chemise by Change of Scandinavia, available at Now That’s Lingerie

In fact, a delectable satin or silk chemise is a MUST as an essential part of every lady’s lingerie repertoire.  For a caress to her skin that’s almost as wonderful as your touch (but not quite!), choose this gorgeous satin chemise by Change of Scandinavia, also available in champagne and black.

Sheer Desire Chemise by Blush Lingerie

Here’s a little confection I’d personally love to unwrap this year.  This semi-sheer lacy chemise by Blush is an easy-fitting number with scalloped lace detail.  Match it up with semi-sheer lace Brazilian panties….that is, if you can handle all that spice!

If you’re totally baffled about sizing, avoid gifting your girl with padded and/or underwired lingerie since these styles are meant to fit her shape exactly.  Check out our Shop By Size page, a handy tool for browsing panties, camisoles, nightgowns and more, according to her size (it’s a real time-saver!).

The Colour of Love

With lingerie in all the colours of the rainbow, how’s a guy to choose the right shade?  Browse her clothes and note if they’re, for example, mainly softer pastels, or perhaps deeper jewel tones.  If she’s all about neutrals, stay away from electric blue!  If in doubt, black is a big pleaser that seems to be the hot favourite of both sexes– its always stylish, sultry and also most slimming.

3717 Shalimar Charmeuse Satin Kimono & Chemise Set by Dreamgirl, available at Now That’s Lingerie

What lady doesn’t love wrapping herself up in a soft and sensuous Kimono? You’ll love wrapping yourself around her too when she’s wearing this satin Shalimar Charmeuse Kimono by Dreamgirl.  The Kimono comes as a set with a matching chemise, giving your girl not one but two lingerie essentials!

Soft satin pyjama pants give cozy coverage on those winter nights, and leave lots to the imagination in the most tantalizing way.  These satin drawstring pants, also from Dreamgirl’s Shalimar Collection, make a perfect pairing with the Charmeuse Kimono and Chemise Set.  Best of all, these satiny pyjama pants are unisex!  How can you not treat yourself to some his ‘n her satin pants for your next romantic getaway?

After showering your lady with luscious lingerie, she’ll want to keep her new treats looking like new for a long time.  Trust me, she’ll be blown away by your thoughtfulness when you top up her Christmas stocking with a Mesh Wash Bag from Forever New for keeping her delicates protected in the washer and dryer.
