Planning how to buy lingerie for your girlfriend can be intimidating at first. This simple 3-step guide will help you pick the perfect gift that your partner will surely appreciate, even before you enter the bedroom! 

Step 1: What size is she?
This sounds pretty straight-forward, but you’d be surprised how many men try to shop without their significant other’s sizes! It’s easy enough to figure out – just pick up a bra she wears often and make a note of the cup size (AA-H) and brand size (30-44). Do the same with her underwear and, voila! You’re armed with some pretty crucial information.

Step 2: What colors does she usually wear?
Rifle through her wardrobe or take note of her outfits for a week. Is she wearing all black, all white, bright colors? Do her eyes pop when she wears pastels or does she gravitate towards funky patterns? If you spend a few minutes considering her personal color palette, it will help you narrow down the options while shopping.

Step 3: How would you describe her style?
If you assume all lingerie has to be see-through – think again. A lot of women are not comfortable in something quite so risqué, or perhaps they’ll wear it once but then you’ll never see it again. Take note of your significant other’s style to get the most out of the purchase. Is she fashion-forward? More classic? Into florals and cute styles? All about lace? A bit on the conservative side? Just like any great gift, your partner will appreciate lingerie a lot more if you put some thought into it, making it less about you and more about her.

You can accomplish all of these easy steps in a few minutes – just by peeking into her drawer. Lingerie doesn’t have to be intimidating, and it can be a great gift if you approach it with a bit of thought. After all, it’s a win-win: If you buy something she loves, you’ll see a lot more of it.
