Just because we are wearing it under our regular clothes, it doesn’t mean we don’t need to pay a lot of attention to how underwear and lingerie fit us. We must choose everything we wear according to the body type, knowing how we look, what are our strong sides, and of course, the weak points on our body. In recent years, most fashion companies promote body positivity, reminding us we are all different, and there is no such thing as one size fits them all. Only if you know your body type, you’ll be able to choose proper wear from stores as DolceDonna, and feel exceptional while you wear it. But, what it takes to find the perfect models for you?
Let’s see the perks, the most useful tips, and what you can do while shopping:

In the past, fashion brands used only fit models to promote their products, leading us to the wrong belief we all should look like that. But, every shape of the body is different and has some unique quirks. You can’t find two identical people. Even identical twins are not completely the same. Now, when you have this in mind, we can proceed to the useful tips for choosing lingerie according to the body type.
2. The basic types of body shapes

As you know, women can have four basic types of shapes, including apple, pear, hourglass, and banana. Sometimes, you can have combinations of them, which means the upper part can fit pear, but the rest of the body to be banana, for example.
For the apple type (women with thin legs and bigger upper part), it’s best to choose lingerie that will make your mid-body look slimmer, but put an accent on the sexy legs. You need to avoid corsets because they will put a lot of pressure on your stomach. Instead, use teddies with a V-neck shape, that puts the focus on your breasts, leaving the abdominal area by the side. If you pair it up with sexy heels, your body will take a better posture, and the stomach will look smaller.
If you have a banana shape, that means you are flat and probably thin. If you are confused, you can find it under the name rectangular body shape. Probably you don’t have many curves, but that means you can experiment with more delicate models, that will fit you great. Don’t try to use a pushup bra. There are many sexy choices, and you only need to find what fits you perfectly.
The hourglass body type means the woman is curvy, with a tiny waist. According to many women, this is their dream body, but those who have it, know that sometimes it can be pretty perky to find the right lingerie for them. But do you know what?
No matter what you choose, it will fit perfectly, even if you have a few pounds more in your body weight.
And when it comes to pear shape, you have to know that it looks very feminine, and you can choose corsets, bras without straps, and almost every type of panties will fit you perfectly, no matter if you are thin, or you have curvy hips.

It’s not enough just to know your body type. You need to meet with the beautiful pieces of lingerie too because it’s more than panties and bra. The point is to match the separate pieces perfectly, and sometimes that means you will have to combine a few of them until you find the perfect look. Don’t focus only on one piece, and put all your attention into the combinations. That means you will have to combine the garter belt together with the bra and panties, and even to the sexy heels, and of course, corsets you may wear. Learn more about the bustiers and how they can improve the complete body image if chosen properly. Do you want to put some negligee over it? You will hit straight to the point of sexiness. And do you want the soft sexy look? A babydoll is the right choice to accomplish that. You can search for these things online, or you can take your time and visit a few stores, so someone who works there can give you the right instructions.

You need to have fun while choosing the lingerie, even when you think some size won’t fit you, or some model is not appropriate for your body type. If you want a more extravagant look, you don’t really need to lose your mind over the sizes and labels. Also, the basic instructions about the body types may apply differently if you are short or tall, fit, or you have some pound more, and even if you are athletic it can be different too. There are special models for plus-size girls, but it doesn’t mean the others who have larger hips or breasts can’t take them. It’s all about having fun while feeling sexy. Don’t let the limits set boundaries in your head. Just imagine your body is a canvas and you need to put different details on it, to get an exceptional picture at the end. It’s possible if you are aware of some basic rules, and not afraid to experiment with the looks.
Conclusion
The point of wearing sexy lingerie is to feel attractive and beautiful. But, if this is not your call, then you don’t have to do that. A lot of women look pretty sexy in their usual underwear. The most important thing in wearing lingerie is not to choose the correct size, color, or model – it’s all about you feeling comfortable while doing that. If you don’t feel like that, you won’t even feel sexy while wearing it.
We hope that these detailed tips and explanations will be useful for you and your next shopping. Keep in mind that sexy is how you feel – not how you look. And never forget that.
