Lingerie Colors and Styles that Flatter Anyone

The invigorating feeling and self esteem boost that lingerie can give is available to any woman's body type. It doesn’t matter if you’re a size 0 or a size XXL ‐ there are many choices available to make yourself feel great and turn your man's head. All you have to do is figure out what lingerie styles, colors and fabrics work best for you. Here are a few tips to get you started.

There are several styles available that flatter most women. One of these is the classic baby doll nightie, which is cut in an "A" shape and usually ends at the upper thighs. It is flattering to any bust size, height or weight, and the swing and movement of the nightie is fun and playful. They are available in several different colors and fabrics, ranging from tame pastels to fire engine red to classic black.

A chemise is a mid- to full length gown that hangs loose, concealing any "problem areas" that you may be self-conscious about. Selecting one that has a long slit up one or both sides also emphasizes your legs, and is a fantastic choice for short women, as it elongates the body.

If you like the look of a chemise, consider a negligee or a peignoir set. It is a timeless, elegant look that consists of a gown and robe. Think of the classic old movies that show a beautiful woman walking down a staircase the fabric of her thin gown and robe billowing around her and you've got the idea.

Now, to look at this from another angle, let's think about what lingerie styles flatter specific body types.

If you are tall, consider a garter belt and stockings. The vertical lines will compliment your body length and give the impression your legs go on for miles. Pair them with a pair of strappy, sexy heels and your sweetie will be breathless.

Are you blessed with ample breasts, try a corset style. Not only with the corset can you display your "charms" fantastically, but it will cinch your waist a bit more, emphasizing your hourglass figure. He won't be able to take his eyes or hands off you!

Women who feel they may be too heavy for lingerie should simply consider themselves to have ample curves. You have several choices as well. Aside from the classic baby doll, the loose and flowing cut of a chemise or negligee set will cover any area that you may feel self-conscious about and make you feel like Cathy in search of her Heathcliff.

Lastly, there are the myriad of color choices to choose from, and you can factor in your own hair color, if you like. Blondes look fantastic in most pastel colors, brunettes are flattered by deep colors like dark green, blue and burgundy, as are redheads ‐ and they will also shine in most earth tones. Just don't think of these suggestions as "rules." If you're a blonde that happens to feel sexy as hell in a fire-engine red baby doll nightie ... more power to you. Wear whatever looks great, feels fantastic, and most importantly ‐ makes you love every inch of your passionate self. Then you can let him love every inch too!
