Men often are not too extravagant when it comes to undergarments. Ensuring they are clean is challenge enough. All of which makes lingerie shopping for the other half a perilous undertaking, strewn with potential pitfalls. Booby traps, if you will.
What exactly is a camisole? How in the hell do women’s sizes work? And precisely why aren’t some of the more ‘specialist’ websites found on the outer reaches of the Internet, not appropriate? If you are among those who haven’t a clue about sizes, shapes and forms and yet want to gift your partner great lingerie, here are some tips:
A little rummage through her underwear drawer can go a long way in helping you:
— Find out her bra size
— Find out the general style of bra she likes to wear
— See what style co-ordinates she wears.
— What colours she likes
— Whether she likes lace or smooth cup bras
Buy something she is likely to wear. Those disreputable websites rarely offer refunds anyway. Or so they say.
It is always a good idea to purchase two co-ordinates (different style bottoms) so that she has a choice between the two. Just ask the shop assistant to be on the safe side.
Ask the shop assistant if they gift wrap; presentation goes a long way. And fellas are genetically programmed to be confused by folding wrapping paper — lumping her new smalls in a pile of cellotaped paper won’t go down well.
And keep the receipt, you never know how wrong you may go while shopping
