Every woman is sexy in her own, unique way, and every female body type out there has its throngs of loyal fans. Truth is, your man has seen you at your best and at your worst, and he thinks you’re beautiful no matter what. And doesn’t that make you want to treat him to something special? It’s no secret that men are especially sensitive to visual cues, so why not treat him to the sight of the woman he loves in some seductive lingerie next date night?
If you’re feeling a little nervous about getting all dolled up in sexy lingerie, don’t worry! Not every woman has the figure of a runway model – in fact, most of us don’t. Luckily, there are enough shapes, sizes, cuts and styles of sexy lingerie out there for all of us, ones that will highlight our sexiest features while masking our flaws. Take a look at the straightforward guide below to find out what kind of lingerie you should buy to flatter your body best and leave your man completely moonstruck.
- The hourglass body type.
Ah yes, the hourglass, the envy of women everywhere! A small waist, coupled with proportionate bust and hips – you likely look good in most anything, you lucky girl! My advice, however, is to draw as much attention to that waist as possible, ideally by wearing something close-fitting to accentuate it. A lovely lace teddy or even bodysuit are your best friends in the bedroom.
- The inverted triangle
If your shoulders are wider than your hips, deep-cut necklines that show off your décolletage are where it’s at. Halter teddies can be a great choice here, as they will draw all of the attention to your bust.
- The apple or round body type.
The apple body type is a version of the inverted triangle where you have a little more weight around your middle. If this is the case, stick with the plunging neckline but go for something a little more loose-fitting around the waist, like a slip teddy or a baby doll teddy.
- The rectangle body type.
Also known as the athletic figure, the rectangular body type lacks overly defined curves. Luckily, corsets and push-ups bras are here to help! A corset will cinch your waist, while a well-fitted push-up bra can transform a bust of any size into a work of art. You might also want to go for strappy undies that can be pulled up over your hips, Baywatch-style, to create the illusion of a curve.
- The triangle or pear body type.
If your hips are significantly wider than your shoulders and you have a rather modest bust, a two-piece lingerie set highlighting how narrow your waist is compared to those hips is a surefire hit. As with the rectangle body type, a good pushup bra will make up for any shortcomings upstairs. One thing you should definitely avoid is boy shorts, as they will optically widen your hips and shorten your legs.
Don’t let anyone tell you that you have to look a certain way to rock lingerie – as with haircuts, there is something out there to complement any body. They key is finding the perfect style for you!
