Love is in the air

Lingerie and love... they are two inseparable concepts. With Valentine in sight, lingerie stores are doing golden business again. Immediately the start of hilarious scenes. Because during the Valentine period, for example, it's mainly the men who come to the lingerie stores. As far as the view of the sets is concerned, the male audience is quite able to pull themselves out of the way. But as soon as questions are asked about sizes, materials, price range... ...most men end up in the fog. The question is of course: how do you, as a woman, give your darling a push in the right direction? Or how do you, as a man, prevent a dragon from pulling home from a set? Dutch Designers Outlet gives some useful tips that can prevent a lot of misunderstandings when buying lingerie.

Lingerie you wear directly on your skin.

A vital criterion to which the majority of men pay too little attention. Because in the search for a spicy piece of lingerie, many men let themselves be led by their own imagination, which invariably results in little concealing sneakers or challenging models that don't always excel in terms of comfort. A sexy piece of lingerie is fine. But if that same set also feels good, female sweetheart will enjoy it all the more.
A hint: take the lingerie in your hand and touch the fabric used. If everything feels nice and soft and there are no hard edges or unfinished edges, there is little chance of problems. Velvet, silk, satin, cotton, flannel or other fabrics with a cosy 'touch' are usually a hit.

A little imagination never hurts.

Lace, sultry colours or even a tiger print are not only a pleasure for the eye of the man. For the woman it is a formidable weapon in the seduction game and the ultimate confirmation of her own sexuality. Many women feel great in sexy lingerie and fully enjoy the attention and admiring looks of their husbands. Shame-red jaws are no good for anything... Daring is the message!

Men are too eager to choose sets that seem to contain a colony of moths.

Honey I shrunk your underwear' might be a nice sequel to that cinema cracker of yesteryear, but too much exposure when choosing lingerie is absolutely inadvisable. Say for yourself: it's and stays more fun when there's also some imagination involved. What's more, many women feel a lot more comfortable in lingerie that doesn't expose everything. Even a thong or see-through model isn't every woman's cup of tea.
A hint: which parts of her body do you think your wife likes best? If she can pride herself on a pair of endless legs, a short nightdress is ideal. If she likes to emphasize her bosom, then you're sure to please her with a daring cleavage. In short, emphasize her femininity and you won't regret it.

When choosing the colour, it is best to take into account the hair colour and skin tone.

Blondes are best served with soft pastel colors while brunettes are better off with brighter colors such as purple, bright green, or other bright shades. Women with red are divine with soft greens, blues, or earthy tones.

Playfulness is the key to a successful relationship.

When choosing lingerie, a playful touch is also a bonus. Lingerie with funny little animals or cute scenes may work on the laughing muscles, they can endear like no other and are the start of endless cuddling.

The stumbling block of a lot of men.

How do you find the right sizes? The only way to make sure the lingerie will fit is to dive into your partner's wardrobe and check the exact measurements on another piece of lingerie. If this doesn't work, use your imagination and try to estimate the right sizes. Not sure about your piece? Ask the lingerie store in question whether the set can be exchanged.
Did you find what you were looking for? If possible, make sure the packaging is festive. The eye also wants some


A lot of men today donate lingerie to their partners.To become a master in giving a gift that moves and surprises her, here are some golden tips!

What she would never buy herself but would really like if she got it.Both questions your wife/girlfriend can only answer if she has the set in front of her and can try it on.
Yet there are steps to take in advance that make the choice easier and increase the chance of success.

If you are unsure about the sizes, you can use the following ways to successfully buy a beautiful lingerie set.
You can't measure her because then the surprise is gone.The easiest way is to browse through her lingerie closet. The lingerie contains labels.

Most labels state the following:
EU = European size
FR = French size
UK/USA = English size

In the Netherlands we stick to the European size, i.e. the EU size. Residents of Belgium take the European (EU) or French (FR) gauge. Behind the country of the gauge is a number, 75 for example. This number stands for the chest size in centimeters.
so now you know that her size is 75. Note: Often you will see that both the French and the European size are mentioned. The French size is always 15 more than the European
size. If you see two numbers, use the lower one. European sizes are always divisible by five.

Now you only need to know her cup size, which is indicated on the label with a letter, for example B. So now you know that her bra size is EU 75B.

Thong, panties and shorts

If you can't see on the label of a pair of briefs or thongs, it's best to keep the size of her skirt or pants on. Attention! Not the size of her jeans because the size of her jeans is different!

In the following table you can see what size slip or thong you need.
