Finding Lingerie That Makes You Feel Sexy

by Kevin Smith Author

Most women today are self-conscious about their bodies in some way. In a society constantly bombarded with airbrushed images of the “ideal” body type, it can be hard to feel like you measure up. When you finally try to feel sexy and get yourself some lingerie, you feel like it just accentuates all your worst features. What’s a girl to do? The truth is, every body type can look sexy in lingerie. It’s all about finding the right lingerie for you. Here are some tips to help you find something that you can wear with confidence.

Know Your Body Type

Not every woman has that perfect hourglass shape. In fact, far fewer women have it than the media might want you to believe. It’s important to know your actual body type so that you can flatter all your best features while toning down the things you might be more self-conscious about. Here are a few common body types and the lingerie that flatters them most:

● Inverted triangle: Broad shoulders and a narrower bottom half means you need to add some volume below the waist. Look for a flare-bottomed baby doll to balance you out.

● Hourglass – If you’re lucky enough to have equally proportioned breasts and hips, find something that accentuates your waist, like a corset.

● Pear-shaped: For women with narrower shoulders and smaller chests but voluptuous hips and booties, look for a sexy teddy with a plunging neckline to direct the eye towards those gorgeous curves.

What Are You Proud Of?

You probably focus a lot on the things you don’t like about your body. But take a minute to think about what parts of your figure you’re most proud of. Do you have shapely legs? A large bust? A tiny waist? Here’s how to emphasize the things you love about your body, so you can flaunt them:

● Bust: If you love your chest, give it some extra support. Look for lingerie that pushes your breasts up and together to create jaw-dropping cleavage. This could be a corset, push-up bra, or any other lingerie piece with exceptional bust support.

● Legs – High-cut leg holes in your teddies and bodysuits really show off the legs. You can also emphasize them with a garter belt and pair of stockings.

● Waist: Love the way your waist nips neatly in? A bustier or a corset will show it off and create a gorgeous hourglass shape for you.

When in doubt, teddies flatter virtually every body type, and there are countless style options available. Find a sexy teddy in your size, and you’ll feel amazing.
