Just as you gravitate toward certain kinds of footwear and jewelry, you also will no doubt have a particular taste when it comes to lingerie styles. Luckily, there are endless different looks to choose from, so it’s all a matter of familiarizing yourself with what feels right and lines up with your unique sensibilities.
Whether you plan to purchase something online or in a local boutique, do some browsing on the Web to see what’s out there.

Ditch the hangups

There’s no way to feel sexy wearing lingerie if you allow insecurities to creep in.
Truthfully, so much of your sex appeal comes from confidence, and succumbing to negative thoughts about your body could seriously hinder that.
So embrace the fact that women come in all different shapes and sizes, and fortunately, there is lingerie that will flatter every curve, no matter what kind of figure you have.
If you shop in-person at a boutique or department store, fill the stylist who’s helping you in on any particular concern, whether it’s coverage, support, or something else entirely, so that they can direct you to the right pieces.
Alternatively, if you’re shopping for unmentionables online, you can look for garments that hide or highlight particular parts of the body.
Balconette bras and babydoll chemises will showcase a full bust, or you can show off a shapely rear-end with hipsters or a Brazilian thong.
Still need a confidence boost? Before sporting your sexy new pieces for anyone else, try them on at home alone — there’s something freeing and downright luxurious about lounging around lingerie on a regular day, and after getting used to seeing yourself in the mirror wearing it, you’re bound to feel far more comfortable in it.
