Shopping for a New Lingerie Wardrobe
From LoveToKnow Lingerie
Shopping for a new lingerie wardrobe is a way to reinvent your lingerie personality.
Lingerie Personality?
Are you a cotton or a silk? How about a boy cut or thong? Your lingerie personality is really about what type of intimate apparel you like to wear and everyone has a lingerie personality. Whether it's the cut of your bras and panties or the type of nighties you wear, you have a personality. Sometimes, women want to go through a lingerie makeover. These makeovers can hit at any time but most of the time, come after some life altering experience like having a baby, getting married, getting a divorce or losing weight.
For whatever reason you want a makeover for all your under things, before you start spending away, it's a good idea to discover what type of lingerie personality you have before shopping for a new lingerie wardrobe. If you don't, you may pull out that peek-a-boo nightie and go "What was I thinking?"
Shopping for a New Lingerie Wardrobe Basics
The first basic of shopping for an entirely new lingerie wardrobe is to determine a goal. Yes, it sounds silly, but again, you don't want to spend a bunch of money on a piece of lingerie only to pull it out later and hate it. So, decide if you just want to add a few items to your lingerie wardrobe or if you want to toss everything out and start fresh.
Deciding on What to Buy
Deciding on what to buy for your new lingerie wardrobe is easily broken down into categories:
Everyday Wear
These are the pieces that are suitable for everyday wear. Not that you can't don a super sexy La Perla lace bra everyday, but those super sexy things, La Perla or not, are made of delicate and fragile materials. These types of materials can't withstand normal washing, even hand washing. That being said, you also don't have to relegate yourself to buying multiple pairs of "granny panties", unless of course you like them. If that's the case, then by all means, get some granny panties.
Everyday wear items are bras and panties that are comfortable and functional. Meaning, your underwear isn't going to ride up and you aren't going to fall out of your bra if you're out gardening in the sun all day. Some great places to stock up on everyday lingerie items are places like:
- Target – Target has some great deals on super cute and inexpensive lingerie.
- Victoria's Secret – Victoria's Secret "Pink" line is perfect for everyday lingerie. It's cotton, so it allows your skin to breathe if you are working out in the garden and it's relatively inexpensive.
Special Occasion Wear
Every lingerie wardrobe needs to include special occasion wear. These are the pieces that once you put them on, you just feel sexy such as:
Naughty Items
No new lingerie wardrobe can possibly be complete without a few key naughty items. Which items you choose is again, dependent upon your personality. Here's a list to get you started on some ideas:
- Corsets
- Body Stockings
- Peek-a-boo anything – Think bras, nightgowns and bustiers.
- Sheer items
The types of naughty lingerie items you decide to add to your wardrobe is really only limited to your imagination.
The most important thing to remember when shopping for a new lingerie wardrobe is to buy the items that you like. Sure, keep that special someone in your life in mind, but if you buy based on their likes and dislikes and not your own, you may end up spending a bunch of money on something you don't feel comfortable or sexy wearing.
When you put on lingerie, you want to feel comfortable and sexy because that leads to feeling confident, and confidence is the sexiest accessory a woman can ever own.
