Elegant lingerie is one of the best gifts you can give. It tells your lady how beautiful you think she is. It’s pretty and fashionable and what she really wants.

However, buying the wrong piece of lingerie can be big trouble! If she thinks it looks cheap she may think you don’t find her worthy of a classy gift. If it’s just not her style she may think you don’t listen – and I know you don’t want to get into that argument!

So I put together a cheat sheet that will help you to face your shopping challenges head on. To make your shopping experience a breeze, I have even compiled a list of the right stores. So read on…

On a Budget

Don’t feel bad if you’re a little broke right now (you, me and the rest of the world, right?). I found some sites that have unbelievably low priced lingerie and your woman would never know the difference. Glamorose is a lingerie site that has an entire section of styles under $10. And Forever 21 has a vast array of bras, panties, slips, corsets and garter belts on sale that are very cute. If you haven’t shopped there in a while you should give Forever21 a second look.

Sizes from SX to 8X

The typical lingerie model is a size 2 but the average woman is a size 14. That doesn’t make her any less sexy and attractive but it can make shopping for lingerie challenging. Fortunately, some of our retailers are smart enough to know this. Herrom.com sells lingerie in styles up to 8X. Also, Secrets In Lace has many styles in just about every size. Their baby dolls are notoriously easy fit and they have a Curvy Woman section that is elegant and affordable. As a bonus Secrets In Lace models vary in size. That way you can get an idea of what she will look like in their products, which are sophisticated, well designed and look great on just about everybody!

For the Woman who already has Everything

So your woman is a material girl. She loves clothes, shoes and jewelry (surprise) and you can’t find a thing she doesn’t already have. Then my guess is you haven’t shopped Bella Bella Boutique yet. They sell just about everything in the world of lingerie and their products are not only unique but stunning! Prices range from $25 – $1000 and it can take 2 weeks to receive your order. So if you want something from there you need to hurry but trust me, it’s worth it. If that’s still a little out of your price range, you can always count of Frederick’s of Hollywood for just about anything. When you shop their site the pages seem to go on and on. Not everything from their store is top notch but their more unique styles such as this Feather Fantasy Teddy which is only $42, is a clear winner.

Fantasy and Drama

If your lady is into role playing then first of all, congratulations! Second of all, you may want to shop at www.yandy.com. It’s like the Amazon for sexy costumes and lingerie. Another good site is Dreamstone Closeouts. Both sites have entire sections of adult costumes and sexy playwear decked in sparkles, ruffle and bows; essentials for bedroom excitement.

Miss Elegant and Sophisticated

So maybe she’s not into playwear. Agent Provocateur runs the gambit from wild to sophisticated and you can’t go wrong with their robes and sleepwear. If you are still having trouble picking something you can close your eyes and select anything from Fig Leaves. I guarantee it will be elegant and equally sexy.

So by now you should be a lingerie expert and ready to buy the perfect gift. While you’re at it, get something for yourself too. She’ll love that!

Enjoy your shopping and Happy Valentine’s Day!
