My Essential Lingerie Buying Tip

Most of you love fashion, so, naturally, like nothing better than going shopping for a new outfit. However, there is one exception. Apparently, lingerie shopping is something that a lot of women would rather avoid doing.  This is borne out by the amazing fact that over 60% of women are wearing the wrong bra size. Fortunately, there are ways to make lingerie shopping easier and therefore more enjoyable. Below is some guidance that will help make lingerie shopping a pleasure rather than a drag.

Shop in the right places

The first tip is to shop in the right retail outlets. It is really frustrating to try on numerous bras, only to find you are unable to find one that fits properly. If you are looking for plus-size click here to be taken to a retailer who sells a great selection of underwear and lingerie that should be perfect for you.

Do a bit of research online

Looking online is the best way to get a feel for what is available, and narrows down your options. Doing this will save you time and make the shopping process less frustrating.

Shop to please yourself

When you go shopping for lingerie make sure you do not come home with something that you are not 100% comfortable with. Try to shop primarily for yourself rather than to please anyone else. Naturally, you want to look good for your partner, but remember that you also need to feel comfortable when wearing it. If you do not, it will only zap your confidence, which is the opposite of what you are aiming for.

Wear the right outfit when shopping

When you go shopping for lingerie, wear the right clothes. If you are buying underwear that you are going to mostly be wearing for work, wear a work blouse. That way you can check that what you are planning to buy fits well and really is appropriate.

Sometimes this is tricky to do. In that case, make sure you take the time to try your new lingerie on under a couple of outfits as soon as you can. Naturally, this is particularly important if you are buying new lingerie for a special occasion.

Don´t compromise

Try not to get exasperated and go home with a set of lingerie that is not ideal. If you do that, you will have likely wasted your money and end up with a bra that does not fit properly. When things do not go well just give up and go shopping another day.

Getting the fit right

Before you go out lingerie shopping take the time to measure yourself. Of course, if you are not shy, you can get the shop assistant to do it for you. However, in some shops, you will need to make an appointment in advance to be able to take advantage of this service.

You can easily learn the correct way to measure yourself for a bra on YouTube. As well as finding and watching one or two of these, I highly recommend that you take a look at this page as well. There you will learn how to correctly identify your breast shape, and which cuts of bra you should be trying on first.
