What Your Lingerie Says About You

*Remunerated Post*

Open your underwear drawer and look at the contents with new eyes. What do you see? Based on the style, colour and condition of what you find, would you deem yourself as adventurous? Natural? Romantic? Practical? Playful?

Style gurus have long said that many factors contribute to our clothing choices — from beauty trends to emotions and memories — and that includes what we wear under our clothes.

When it comes time to shop for new lingerie, you may be wondering what style to choose. What type of lingerie will best suit your many moods? Read on for a list of lingerie options based on personality type:

Romantic and Sweet

For sweet, romantic types, white lace, baby pinks, and floral designs are ideal. Soft fabrics will make you look and feel pretty, and you can complete the set with a mesh robe. Floral teddys are feminine and flirty, with cage straps and a laced back.

Or, stick with a classic white lace two-piece to take you from day to night. Sweet, romantic personalities can get the look while still feeling sensual. Think figure-hugging designs and subtle skin-revealing cutouts.

Cute and Relaxed

Every woman needs a pair (or pairs) of pajamas in her collection. Your sleepwear doesn’t need to be frumpy, and if you’re a relaxed personality type you can wear something that’s both comfortable and cute.

Put fitted, high-cut rompers, satin sets, and shorts and tee duos on your lingerie shopping list. Prints we like include red plaid, quirky slogans, blue florals, and black and white.

Fun and Adventurous

Are you fun, flirty, and adventurous? If you have mischief on your mind, look for lingerie costumes to spice things up in the bedroom. Naughty nurse, wild kitty, first mate, and sexy bunny are just a few suggestions for role-playing, and you are only limited by your imagination.

If you prefer, you can play mistress with fishnets, wet leather look bodysuits, and cupless teddy and mask sets. Accessories and toys are optional.

Sultry and Sophisticated

For the passionate type, your lingerie look will be silk or lace in shades of black and red. Wear your hair down and put on a black peek-a-boo lace teddy, sheer halter babydoll, or a bralette set.

A teddy with a garter strap and stockings will make you feel glamorous and sexy. Finish the look with a pair of killer high heels, smoky eyes, and rich red lipstick. 

Shy and Subdued

If you are shy or lacking body confidence, lingerie can help to give your mood a boost. A chemise will be flattering and hug your body in all the right places. You can pair your chemise with a lace robe for a subdued, yet pretty touch. 

Chemises come in a range of styles, and we like plain colors such as grey with lace embellishments. Or, go for a patterned print for the warmer months. Look for a design with adjustable straps and wear it with a matching thong.

Lingerie and Your Mood

This may be a list of lingerie to wear based on your personality type, but this doesn’t mean you can’t mix or match depending on your mood. After all, we all probably regularly fit into two or more of these categories on any given day!
