After all, getting older doesn’t mean you lose your desire to be confident and sexy. Here are some suggestions for putting lingerie pieces together that will work for your body type.

Consider your body type when selecting lingerie you feel your best in

Tummy Coverage

If you want to wear lingerie that hides your tummy flaw, a baby doll cami is a great choice. Many of the camis have an opening in the middle, with flow-y fabric all around to discreetly expose your mid-section. Of course, a matching panty that features the same lace trim or print as the front of the baby doll camisole makes the lingerie both alluring and visually appealing.

 

A forgiving cami that covers your tummy and pairs with a panty that is a little more revealing can make you feel especially sexy in lingerie.

Showing Off Your Legs

If your legs are your best asset, wear a lingerie set that includes a high-cut panty. Teddies that are cut high to show off your midsection and thighs are ideal for accentuating long legs and making your physique lean but curvy. Of course, a lace, decorative bra looks stunning with high-cut panties. And if you’re into the vintage look, a high-waist panty and bra that rests just above your stomach will accentuate your curvy figure without highlighting your trouble spots.

Get the Support You Need

If you have a small to medium-sized bust, underwire bras definitely belong in your lingerie collection. The wire helps to push up the breast and make your entire lingerie look more alluring. If you have a large bust, a halter bra is likely your best bet, especially if the straps of the halter bra are made from lace or silk.

Creating a Slim Silhouette

High-waist panties can also give you a slim silhouette if you want your torso to look smaller. A corset is a great lingerie piece for slimming your physique as well, and accentuates your bust while making your stomach and hips look smaller. Chemises look great on pear-shape figures, and will keep your hips from looking unbalanced with the rest of your body’s, which definitely makes you feel more comfortable in your lingerie.

Lingerie Materials

Of course, silk is an appropriate material for lingerie. However, you can find a few lingerie pieces in high-quality polyester that will look just as pretty on you. Make sure that any underwear you purchase with your lingerie set has a cotton pad on the inside for added comfort, and choose bras with cotton padding so you can feel your best while you’re wearing the lingerie.

These tips make it easy to find the perfect lingerie that will look flattering on women of any age. Happy shopping!
