Things to Consider When Buying Lingerie

Style

You may automatically think of bras and underwear when it comes to undergarments, but there are several styles and silhouettes out there in the world of lingerie. From teddies to slip dresses, corsets and camisoles, there are seemingly endless variations of cuts and designs to choose from. "We find that detailed embellishments in bra and panty sets are popular," says Sapna Palep, CEO of Journelle. "Bodysuits are hot right now, [as well as] Italian nightie styles that are short and flirty." However, your personal style will dictate which styles of lingerie look and feel best on you.

Accessibility

Styles will change according to accessibility too, and we are firm believers that everyone should be able to celebrate their bodies — no matter what your needs are. Women who have undergone breast surgeries will need specific styles separate from what are readily available on the market, which the AnaOno Gloria Soft Lace Bralette is here to do. Likewise, people with physical disabilities often need specially tailored undergarments for easy dressing, which The Liberare Bra from Aerie offers. Your personal style and your needs can be met all in one with fabulous lingerie, no matter your body type.

Size

Like picking out any bra, it's important to be measured correctly at a fitting to be sure which size of lingerie you should buy. "Not all brands run the same, so it's important to have an expert bra fitting and know your own measurements," Palep advises. From there, you can read each brand's measurement chart on their site and compare them to your own to decipher your best size.

Comfort

Nobody likes a digging bra strap or underwire that pokes, so it's imperative that you take comfort into consideration when looking for your new pieces. Andrea Jagaric, Chief Design Officer for Aerie, Offline and Unsubscribed, feels that fashion should meet functionality when it comes to intimates. "In the industry today, we see women prioritize comfort and therefore have further invested in bras and bralettes with that in mind," Jagaric says. "As a leader in comfort, we continue to innovate our intimates to bring our community the best and celebrate our bodies and our real selves."

Price

Lingerie can range from several price points, but you'll find most to be on the higher side. "A quality lingerie set uses high-end fabrics. Look for well made, quality styles that fit, support and are comfortable on your skin," Palep shares. "True quality isn't necessarily cheap." While you can score some festive finds for less than $20, like this lace corset from Target, you'll often find much better stitching, softer fabrics, more seamless padding, and other high-end qualities when buying lingerie from more luxurious retailers like La Perla or For Love and Lemons.

FAQs

What type of lingerie should I buy?

It's completely up to you which kind of lingerie you choose to invest in, but what matters most is what makes you feel confident and comfortable. If you want to accentuate a certain area of your body, like your chest, then a push-up bra or fun bustier could be an option for you. On the other hand, if you feel best in looser-fitting lingerie that flutters around, then you may want to opt for a babydoll or slip nightgown. There are plenty of options to choose from, so be adventurous and have fun.

How do I know what size(s) I should buy?

"Size is what you feel good in first," Jagaric answers. Figuring out your best fit will always be going into a store to have a proper bra fitting, but Aerie offers a fit-finder technology that allows you to figure out your correct size from home in every single one of their product descriptions. You can also go by "sister sizing" if your normal size is sold out. "Go up a band size and down a cup size: If you usually wear a 34C, try a 36B. If you usually wear a 36D, try a 34DD," Aerie's measurement chart explains.

How can I style lingerie in my outfits?

Your lingerie shouldn't only be stylish, but also functional in your everyday life — so it's worth considering how you can style it in your wardrobe, as well. "Your lingerie can always be incorporated into your outfits when you have beautiful styles that are meant to be seen," Palpa says. "Look for fun colors – whether subtle or bold, [like] detailed straps, lacy cups, embellishments and extras in your bras, bodysuits, [and] bustiers to peek through to accentuate any outfit."

It can be hard to picture this in your mind's eye, so celebrity stylist Mary Fellowes has a few suggestions to illustrate these ideas:

Blazers: "I love a blazer or tux for the evening where it is buttoned on the midriff to show a peek of bra," Fellowes says. The Bluebella Valentina Wired Bra is the perfect option for this layering technique to evoke the Valentine's Day mood.

Accents: Fellowes suggests styling a "sheer, loose, high-neck top for dinner with a solid or lace bodysuit under," like the Savage x Fenty Floral Lace Teddy.

High-Waisted Pants: A little top and high-waisted pants is the formula for a perfectly balanced (and sexy) Valentine's day 'fit. Fellowes recommends a "corset [or] bustier paired with high-waisted pants [and] a loose cardigan or off the shoulder sweater added over," for an effortlessly elevated look.
