Most men know nothing about picking out sexy lingerie, which is understandable because it can be confusing.
Size
In order to determine her size you can either ask her (this removes the suprise element though), or look for an item in her wardrobe that fits her well and check the label for sizing.
Choosing a Style
Don't go for anything radical or try to change her style. If she likes lace, then don't buy her spiked leather! Number one reason is this could make her feel inadequate sexually or insulted. She will see this as though you don't like what she is providing you with currently. If you must buy leather do so gradually, maybe white leather with lace for starts and then work up to the spiked leather.
The main idea of buying sexy lingerie is to make your partner feel loved and comfortable with herself. Women love to get sexy lingerie for gifts, especially a thoughtful purchase. If she normally wears panties, avoid the thong-back teddy.
If your Partner is Shy or has Never Worn Lingerie Before
Start very slow. Try a beautiful victorian gown, not sheer or see through - just good looking. Remember you have got to make her feel comfortable in order for her to feel sexy and she won't be sexy unless she feels sexy. Next time try a pretty chemise.
Now, what type of lingerie is available?
Just about anything you can think of! Ask yourself what the occasion is.
Is this to let her know you love her? If so, something crotchless, sexy, or see-through probably will not send that message!
But, if it is for Valentine's Day or your anniversary, something a little more risque might be appreciated.
Bras alone have many different styles including push up, plunge, gel filled, padded, under wire, seamless, backless, strapless, open cup, and unpadded.
If you are purchasing a sexy bra and panty set, always check out what she has in her drawer beforehand and definitely make note of the size - of both the bra and panties.
It will help to know what type of panties she likes to wear too - thongs, briefs, or high cut bikini.
When it comes to sleepwear, it can be just as confusing.
One type of sleepwear are babydoll's. They usually have very thin sexy straps, a plunging V neckline, and are very short with matching panties.
You will find most of these made out of silk or satin, materials that always make a woman feel good about herself. But, if she feels her breasts are too big or too small, or thinks her stomach is too big, you might want to avoid babydoll pajamas and try something like slips and chemises.
Similar to the babydoll's, these are a little longer and a little better at concealing problem areas such as breasts, butt or stomach. They too are usually made of silk or satin.
Gowns are full-length versions of the babydoll. Many are see-through or lacey and can help put your woman in the mood.
Babydolls, slips, chemises, and gowns may also come with a robe.
A pajama set might not sound too sexy, but if it is silky, and buttons up the front, it can make your woman feel very sexy, especially if she is a plus size (size 18 or larger).
Boxer sets have become very popular lately. The tops are tight, with thin straps and usually a V neckline, although there are boxer sets with normal t-shirt tops. If you are really looking for lingerie to spice up your love life.
We have a wide variety of garter belts, bustiers, corsets, teddies (similar to the babydoll, but one piece), crotchless panties, and fishnet stockings - items that may not be available at many stores that sell lingerie.
What type of lingerie you should get your love depends a lot on her self-esteem.
Many big woman love sexy little teddies, but some will shy away from them, for fear of exposing too much of themselves.
Most stores sell lingerie in plus sizes, which are a little less revealing.
If she is really athletic, a boxer set might be something she would like.
Thin women will look good in anything, but especially teddies, corsets, and babydolls.
When shopping for lingerie, try to keep in mind what she likes.
If you purchase something similar to the sexy lingerie she already has and in colors you know she likes, it will probably make her happy.
