Choosing Christmas Lingerie
From LoveToKnow Lingerie
Things to Keep in Mind When Choosing Christmas Lingerie
Choosing Christmas lingerie doesn’t have to be as hard as passing the LSAT.
- Who are you buying for?
If you’re choosing Christmas lingerie for your significant other and the cousin whose name you drew for the Secret Santa swap, you probably aren’t going to buy them exactly the same thing. That might raise a few eyebrows, unless you get your significant other a tame set of soft flannel pajamas from Victoria’s Secret.
- Do you want the receiver to feel like they can only wear it seasonally?
If you want the receiver to feel like they can pull out the lingerie you chose for them any day of the week, any time of year, you’re going to want to stay away from the cutesy Santa-inspired outfits. Also avoid candy canes, Christmas trees…you know the drill. Instead, go for a nice red, green or white piece. If your significant other’s a little on the wild side, choose a metallic silver get-up.
- Naughty or nice? And how far do you want to go to either extreme?
This ties back in to who your receiver is. To spice things up with a spouse, you may want to go for a racy look—whether it’s a Santa outfit or a red teddy. If, however, you’re getting something for great-aunt Edna and you heard she’s looking for a new nightie, you should probably just stick to the aforementioned flannel nightshirt and pants.
- If you’re buying for a significant other, chances are, you’re really buying for yourself.
Lingerie’s a backwards kind of gift, quite often. It’s like the girl who buys her husband a chenille throw for the living room. He wanted a power tool. If you buy your significant other lingerie, it’s so you can see them in it. Yes, they’ll feel sexy, but no, it’s still not a gift for them.
Where to Find Festive Lingerie
Just about every big lingerie designer comes up with ways to help you while you’re choosing Christmas lingerie—they have [[Christmas Bra and Panty Sets|bra and panty sets] in red traced with white faux fur. You can get racy red corsets with matching thongs and stockings.
Naughty or Nice?
The question is, does Santa prefer choosing Christmas lingerie in naughty or nice styles. That depends on whom he’s buying for, and the message he’s trying to convey, of course.
Favorite Naughty Looks
The Santa’s Babe outfit from ThreeWishesLingerie.com covers more skin than the traditional naughty lingerie (and even has a hood!) but it’s still just as steamy.
Winter holidays are all about spice, and this Lady Clause Lingerie offers just that, especially if you include the white fishnets.
Favorite Nice Looks
The story of Christmas has to do with the star the wise men followed to find baby Jesus. Give her this flannel sleep set in Starry Night to keep her warm.
This Velvet and Marabou Robe is slightly racy, but very elegant at the same time. She’ll feel like a 1940s glamour girl.
