Lingerie buying guide for men

Miss B's guide to buying lingerie for your wife or girlfriend

Here at Boux Avenue we know all too well the pesky pitfalls buying lingerie can leave you in. So to escape the sartorial minefield of getting the wrong size or choosing colours she doesn't like, we have enlisted our very own tip top lingerie blogger Miss B to help avoid those little quandaries that leave you stumped when it comes to shopping for her sexy smalls.

Miss B can help you get it right with six simple steps to success, have a quick read for a straightforward and stress-free shopping experience - with guaranteed smiles all round.

Size matters

This is the most obvious sticking point when it comes to lingerie shopping, and also the trickiest to guess - so don't. Be sneaky, have a little rummage through her lingerie drawer when she isn’t looking (just don't get caught red handed). Look at more than one style, sometimes us ladies wear different sizes - if this is the case, go for the most popular. Also check her dress size too - handy when buying the matching knickers and nightwear.
Colour counts

Once your detective work has been put to good use getting the right size, next step is colour. If you don't already, pay attention when she is undressing - what colours does she normally wear? She may wear classic black and white for everyday, but probably won’t want these styles as a gift. Check out her frocks and try matching her lingerie to her favourite party dress - for totally glamorous dressing up.
Style stalker

A little time invested in thinking about her style won't go amiss either. How does she like to dress? Is she girly, romantic and feminine, does she go for full voltage glamour and vamp things up? Or is she understated, classic and cool? View Boux Avenue's lingerie collections to help you match the lingerie you buy to her own distinctive style.
Accessory accents

When buying lingerie, don't forget those little finishing touches that make your present all the more perfect. Does the set you have plumped for have matching suspender belt? If so, how about some sexy stockings too? If not, how about a sexy garter or teasing eye mask instead? Easily complete her look, so that she can dress up without going shopping for more. Shop all fashion accessories.
