Lingerie tips that everyone should know
Helloooo dear readers of the Goddess blog and welcome to this lovely Wednesday morning post by your Goddess and for todayyy I willl be focusing my thoughts on a piece of clothing that probably everyone adores - lingerie! Yesterday I treated myself to some lingerie shopping (see photo) - what do you guys think about my lingerie taste? :P :)) - so I decided to write some sexy tips about lingerie that are probably a MUST for everyone! Without any further ado, let’s dig right into the post and as always, remember to get some coffees for your Goddess! :)
Before heading on a mission to find the perfect and most flattering lingerie, I want you to be equipped with the best tips out there so that you will feel sexy and confident. Let the Goddess be your confidante…
1. Comfort is Key
No matter how sexy your lingerie looks, there is no way you will want to wear it for a long period of time if it doesn’t fit properly. Chances are you will wear it once and it will sit in the back of your closet never to see the light of day again.
You should become familiar with the term “bust support,” as it delivers maximum comfort. Features such as soft brushed elastic under the bust and elastic contouring the neckline have never been more sought after till now.
2. Know Your Body Type
Knowledge is power. Knowing your body type is essential when searching for the perfect lingerie piece. If you are a pear shape, you share your beautiful curves with Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez -lucky you! You will want to pick a flared bias-cut skirt and contrasting colour stretch lace to flatter your curves and balance out your shape on top. A deep neckline and defined waist will dramatize the effect. If you are built more like Ariana Grande, who is petite and compact, look for spaghetti straps and deep V-necks to elongate those never-ending legs. If you are the Kim Kardashian’s of the world, your classic pin-up girl with a nipped waist and full curves are the envy of them all. Feel like a Queen in flowing kimono sleeves and a wrapped front neckline to highlight your cleavage. Accent your best features and show them off girl!
3. Show Off Your Best Features
The whole point of wearing lingerie besides feeling good about yourself is highlighting your best features. Learn to play to your strengths and you will never go wrong. Focus on what you want to accentuate and then execute it.
Let your significant other’s imagination run wild when they see what you’re wearing from behind. An open back with criss-crossed designed straps will highlight your best feature. It’s a party in the back.
4. Suit Your Style
Whether it is sweet and sensuous or daring and risqué, your signature look should always suit your style.
5. Size Matters
This one is a given and not exactly a secret. Because not wearing the right size can lead to discomfort and that is definitely not a sexy feeling! It should be the perfect fit and show off your curves. Each brand has a different size chart, so you will need to pay attention before buying your lingerie online.
6. Know Your Textures
There are so many options when it comes to choosing a texture. Never settle for anything less than top quality when lingerie is the closest material to your body. We’ve narrowed it down and shared the key information you need to know before making a decision:
Silk is incredibly luxurious, comfortable, and light weight. It is a little trickier to wash, but it absorbs moisture well and does not stick to the body in warm weather.
Latex is durable, flexible, and temperate neutral. The downside is that it is pricey and does not relieve pressure.
Micro fiber provides many benefits such as being soft, comfortable, breathable and dries quickly. The yarns used to weave the fabric allows for good airflow.
Rayon is highly absorbent and drapes well; however, it requires a lot of care when washing and loses it strength when wet.
Nylon is a fabric that is ideal for lingerie as it is elastic, non-absorbent, dries quickly and retains its shape. It is also simple to clean making it a good choice for the busy on the go woman.
Cotton is known for being extremely soft and comfortable. It is a natural fiber making it breathable and reduces the risk of bacterial infection.
Lastly, lycra spandex molds itself to the skin and stretches with the body making it ideal if your weight fluctuates from time to time.
7. Colour Choice
Choosing a colour can be a daunting task. First and foremost, select the colour tones that will complement your skin tone best. If your hair colour is a darker brown or blonde and skin has a greenish or a yellowish undertone then go for oranges, reds, golden yellow, amber, and honey gold in the warm colour family. Your go-to-colours in the cool colour family are warmer greens and blues, and red-purples. Jessica Alba would be proud to call you skin-tone twins!
If your hair colour is dark to light blonde and your skin has a bluish undertone (very fair to very dark), your cool colour family consists of bright blue, jewel tone colours, and lavender. Shocking pink, cerise, ruby, bright rose belong in your warm colour family. Cate Blanchett is your celebrity skin tone doppelganger. Use the colour guide below to make this decision even simpler for you.
Second, think about the occasion. Is the occasion a sweet and romantic one, a night of passion, or streetwear appropriate? Our recommendation is to own a neutral palette set for daily wear; however, don’t forget about those bright colours and patterns for when you’re feeling extra adventurous. Choose wisely and dress to impress.
8. Right Occasion, Right Lingerie
What are your Friday night plans? Maybe it’s time to feel adventurous and bring your lace camisole, pumps, and favourite skinny jeans out to play. Top the look off with a black leather jacket and you’re guaranteed a fun night out on the town with your girlfriends.
9. Back to the Basics
Basics will be your true Best Friend Forever because they will always be there for you. Having that one set or piece that you can pull out anytime and feel like Beyoncé in will allow you to conquer the world. Forget what you know about Double D’s -learn about the new Double C rule when it comes to your basics: Comfortable and Confident.
