Buying lingerie for your significant other proposes to be a daunting idea. While men are generally good shoppers, you can never be so sure about the challenge that awaits an intimate apparel shopper who isn’t exactly used to the idea. Even if you are the type of guy who enjoys buying things, it’s a woman’s world you’re trying to explore, and nothing can prepare you for that.
Here are a few things to watch out for to perfect your lingerie shopping adventure for the love of your wife or girlfriend:
Know her personality. Don’t get carried away by your preference.
Because the intimate apparel is ultimately for her, be sure you are really after her style and choice. Some women may go for the more conservative look, while others prefer it to be bordering on racy. Let your lingerie shopping be about her, and not about what you want to see.
Know her personal style, size and other important details to help you choose.
Her lingerie is a highly private, personal item she values, so make sure you are looking at the item she would have picked if she were with you. Ultimately, you need to know which of those great choices would fit her best, so it always pays to know her body size, as well as her preferred color, style or design.
If all else fails, get someone to help you out.
There is no shame in admitting you really can’t risk giving her offensive intimate apparel. It may, in fact, be the best course of action to take or your present ends up in here never-wearing-these pile. To be sure you will give her exactly what she wants, ask her lady best friend or sister to help you out. Be sure that your intention is well understood; you never know if her fellow females may find it a distasteful idea.
Don’t be cheap, but don’t break the bank either.
Sure, you are willing to spend for the wonderful woman in your life. High-end lingerie brands sell for hundreds of dollars, which you should not have a problem getting should they match your wife or girlfriend’s choice. If your budget proves otherwise, be practical without being too cheap for her taste. You don’t want to give her intimate apparel of low quality fabric. You can also grab special deals and take advantage of discount promos to save without having to compromise her preference. When all is ready, wrap the lingerie in a pretty box, basket or bag.
