Men Shopping for Lingerie Basics

Gentlemen, shopping for lingerie for you partner is both sweet and sexy. Ladies, how many times have you seen a man in a lingerie store fumbling around and looking a bit lost and thought, "Oh, how sweet?" Plenty right? Guys, if you don't want to be one of those fumbling men in a lingerie store, keep a few of the following pointers in mind when shopping for lingerie for your partner.

Discovering Your Partner's Lingerie Style

When it comes to gift giving and receiving, nothing is worse than getting a gift you hate or giving a gift you know the receiver hates. When it comes to lingerie, avoid this situation by knowing your partner's lingerie style. Without coming out and asking your partner about their favorite type of lingerie, here's how you can do it on the sly.

Pay attention

The easiest way to know your partner's lingerie style is to pay attention to what they are wearing….especially when they don something for a special occasion like an anniversary or birthday. It's important to know their sexy style. It's also important to discover how their sexy style differs from their everyday style. Armed with this information, you know how racy (or not) you can get with your new lingerie gift purchase.

Sizing

This step to finding the perfect lingerie for your partner is a little bit sneaky, but necessary, and that's finding the right size lingerie. This can be achieved in one of two ways:

  • Ask the best friend -- The best friend always knows your partners bra and panty size…so ask.
  • Take a peek –- Take a sneak peek in your partner's underwear drawer. Remember to look at at least two bras, two panties and two pieces of lingerie. Sizing is different depending on the brand, so you need to compare.

Budget

Nice lingerie is far from cheap and if you're giving it as a gift, you want it to be nice. That doesn't mean that you can't find lovely pieces at moderate prices. It just takes a bit more work. Here's a list of places to shop for lingerie and find ideas on style and pricing:

  • Lovers Lane Intimates –- This site offers moderately priced lingerie in a variety of different styles. Lovers Lane Intimates offers lingerie ranging from the racy, like crotchless panties and shelf bras, to the demure, like a flowing baby doll set.
  • Angel Body Wear – From school girl costumes to satin bustiers, Angel Body Wear has it.
  • Spicy Lingerie –- Another store that offers a wide variety of styles is Spicy Lingerie. Don't let the name fool you, there are plenty of "spicy" pieces but there are also many tame pieces as well. This store also runs great sales, so you might want to check back often.
  • La Perla –- One of the top names in luxury lingerie, every piece by La Perla is beautiful and, well...luxurious. Expect to spend some big bucks here though. Bras on sale cost over $100.
  • Agent Provocateur –- This store has some of the sexiest and sassiest lingerie on the market. Their pieces are well-made and well worth the price. It's not as expensive as La Perla, but their pieces are just as lovely.

Now that you have some ideas on how to shop for lingerie and what to look out for before beginning your shopping journey, there is one final piece of advice: Don't be afraid to ask questions. Lingerie store employees are there to answer them for you, it's their job. Being too embarrassed to ask is just plain silly. Besides, by asking as many questions as you feel necessary, it ensures that you will buy a piece of lingerie that both you and your partner will love and enjoy.
