How to choose sexy lingerie: classic chic or modern style?

Once upon a time, lingerie consisted of a series of functional undergarments designed to cover, lift, or strap down. The only person who saw such monstrosities was the wearer, her maid servant, and on the odd occasion, her husband. Thankfully, these days ladies underwear has been lifted out of the dark ages and the dawn of sexy lingerie means women all over the world can dress with a view to undressing confidently.

But whilst it might seem like a godsend to be faced with a huge choice of sexy lingerie, how on earth do you decide what the best style is for you? And worse, how do you buy sexy lingerie for somebody else?

There are so many different styles of lingerie available in the shops that it can be sometimes difficult to know what “look” to go for. Of course, there is a school of thought that says why stop at one set of sexy ladies underwear when you can have fifty, but unless you have money to throw away, you are probably more likely to buy a few key items of lingerie for special occasions and wear the everyday stuff the rest of the time.

There are many different factors to consider when shopping for lingerie. If you are shopping simply for yourself, you might prefer items that are pretty and dainty. Fresh, modern styles designed with floral fabrics and delicate lace are ideal for everyday wear, but are also attractive enough to make you feel sexy on a special night out.

Shopping for sexy lingerie with a view to showing your purchases off to the man in your life at some point in the near future is always good fun. This is a good time to spend a few moments considering what he might like as opposed to what you would normally choose. For example, if you know he has a thing for black panties combined with a corset, accessorize with stockings and spike heels. Alternatively, make the most of your assets with a wonder bra and a sexy thong. The possibilities are endless!

Bridal underwear is another area you can shop for. Try a boned corset for classic chic, or perhaps a sexy teddy for modern style—it really depends on your figure and the type of wedding dress you will be wearing.

Classic chic is always a timeless look in lingerie. Elegant corsets and sexy chemises are a wonderful look for the mature figure, but modern style and sexy fabrics are ideal for younger women who are more than happy to wear ladies underwear as outerwear.

Ultimately, lingerie is a personal choice, so shop to suit your age, figure, and levels of body confidence. If you would feel more comfortable in a classic white bra and panties as opposed to a black leather corset with stockings, then go for it. There is little point in buying lingerie that never sees the light of day—sexy lingerie is meant to be shown off, not buried in a bottom drawer in your closet!
