GIFTING YOUR WIFE OR GIRLFRIEND LINGERIE

Lingerie as a gift can be tricky to get right, but with the right guidance and advice, you’ll soon have the confidence to buy the perfect intimate gift.

Below, we will take you through how to select a style they’ll love, and get their sizing right. So whether you’re buying your girlfriend lingerie or a sultry sleepwear set for your partner, this guide is for you.

GET THE RIGHT SIZE WHEN GIFTING LINGERIE

Getting the sizing right for your partner’s lingerie gift is the first step. The best way to find this out is by checking the label on a bra or clothing they currently own.

Here’s what to look for…

1. Bra Sizing
There are two components to a bra size; a number between 28 and 40 (which references her band measurement) followed by a letter, usually from A-G (this corresponds to her cup size). Boux Avenue caters for all DD+ bra sizes with our fuller bust range.

2. Dress Size
If you’re buying knickers or nightwear, this is the number you’ll need. This will be an even number between 6 and 18. Again, check a few items of clothing they wear often and go with the most common size you find.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE PERFECT STYLE WHEN GIFTING HER LINGERIE

When it comes to choosing lingerie for your wife or girlfriend, it can feel overwhelming. To make it easier, we’ve listed some of our favourite types of lingerie gift options.

It’s important to consider your partner's body shape, style preferences and personality. Keep their current most loved pieces in mind when choosing your gift, and go with something that is the most flattering lingerie for their body type.

MATCHING LINGERIE GIFT

Matching bra and knicker sets make the perfect gift for your partner because they combine elegance, thoughtfulness, and style in one luxurious package. You’ll never go wrong with a beautifully coordinated underwear set, complete with a sexy and comfortable balconette or push-up bra and luxurious lace knickers.

BODYSUITS

For a more seductive statement, bodies are a versatile and stylish lingerie gift offering a perfect blend of elegance and allure. They can also be layered with outerwear for a chic look, making them a thoughtful and fashionable choice.

LINGERIE GIFT ACCESSORIES

Take your lingerie gift to the next level with sexy stockings and suspender belts that match your girlfriend’s lingerie set. Enhance your underwear with finishing touches like silk robes or garters.

NIGHTWEAR & LOUNGEWEAR

Combine casual yet chic with pyjamas made from soft fabrics that are just as luxurious as any other lingerie gift options. You can choose something really personal and functional with a comfortable and stylish loungewear set to really match her personality.

A chemise is the perfect sexy nightwear option if you’re unsure of bra size.

FINAL LINGERIE GIFT TIPS

Make her feel confident: you want her to feel as comfortable as possible. If she prefers a more conservative look, opt for briefs instead of a thong. It’s all about her.

Save the receipt: if you’ve followed our advice above on how to find your partner’s sizing, you should be in the clear; but it’s always safe to keep your receipt just in case you need to exchange for another size.
