How To Buy A Woman Lingerie (The Right Way)

June 15, 2020 by Velvet Box

Walking into a lingerie department unprepared can make anyone feel overwhelmed. Lingerie shopping doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are 5 easy tips to set you help you pick her the perfect piece. 

#1 Lingerie Investigator

Sales Associate: What cup size does she wear?

Man: *Hold hands up against chest and cups imaginary breasts.* Umm… like that big.

This happens on the daily. So, before you buy, do your research. Know what size they wear. You can do this, sneaking a peak at her bra and panties next time you take them off or you could just ask them. A little investigative work goes along way and will pay off in the end. There is nothing worse than buying your partner buying lingerie that the wrong size. Too big and you can make them feel like you think they are big and too small and they may feel bad about their body. Either way no one wins. 

#2 Know Her Style

Is she sweet?
Or is she spicy?

What colors does she like? What do you often see her wear? Does she enjoy black or colorful undergarments? If she is not normally a frilly person a pink piece of lingerie with lots of ruffles may not be the way to go. When in doubt, black is always a hot look. Remember this is about her not you. This is about making her feel sexy. 

#3 Keep It Simple

That piece on the mannequin with 5 million straps looks hot right? Not if she can’t get it on it doesn’t. If once you take it off the mannequin it looks like a ball of ribbon, this is not the piece to start with. These things do not come with instructions. Keep that in mind. Instead keep it simple with pieces that are easy to get in and out of. If you still want a strappy piece their are many lingerie pieces that are strappy one or two piece options that you don’t need an engineering degree to get in/out of. One of our favorite ways to keep it simple yet really sexy is a great pair of panties and sexy robe. A lace or satin robe is a great piece to throw over any lingerie to make it more sultry.

#4 Ask for help

There is nothing wrong with asking an associate for assistance. No one expects you to know what every style and cut is called. We are here to help. Associates will know which brands/pieces run small, which cut will fit your partner’s body just perfectly, and can help with color/style choices and any needed accessories to complete the ensemble.

#5 Go Lingerie Shopping Together

Lingerie shopping can be a hot before dinner date for a post dinner activity (wink). Each of you pick out a few pieces for her to try on. She can give you little peeks from the dressing room. Make sure, when she is trying on lingerie for you, that you have an opinion on the piece. She wants to feel sexy. When she is asking what you think, don’t just give a shoulder shrug or say “I don’t know.”. It is a straight up mood killer. She buys 1 or 2 she likes, but doesn’t let you in on which pieces made the final cut. Later she can surprise you for a big reveal.

Stop by any of our 5  Velvet Box locations for a fantastic variety of lingerie for every style and every body type. We are here to help you find the perfect lingerie.

3 Sexy Last Minute Halloween Costumes

October 19, 2018 by Velvet Box

Did you know that halloween is just over a week away? With the days counting down until All Hallows Eve, our inboxes are filled with last minute costume party invites, costumed bar crawls and date night plans. But since I originally planned on having a night of scary movies and pizza, I have no costume prepared. And I know i’m not alone in this! So, I put together 3 last minute costumes, that are sexy as hell!

Black Swan

 

This gorgeous Dreamgirl teddy is perfect for an ultra sexy, super stressed out, possibly insane ballet dancer. Just pair with a tulle skirt, ballet flats and crown. There are several incredible tutorials on how to perfectly recreate this makeup on youtube. You could also throw on a pair of black wings with this look and be a dark angel.

Queen Of Hearts

 

“OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!!” Heads will roll when you show up in this incredibly hot get up. Our Dreamgirl velour teddy paired with any black skirt and the perfect red heels will have everyone painting the roses red for you. And as far as makeup looks go there are some killer ones! Bonus points if you add any nod to playing cards in your ensemble. You could also change that crown for a halo and add some wings and be Cupid.

Sultry Caped Crusader

 

This is my personal favorite. When I saw this image of this Teddy and Cape set from Allure, the first thing I thought was, “If Batwoman wore lingerie this is what it would look like.” So, I had to include this set in this post. Add a mask, gloves and the boldest lip ever and you’re almost ready to save the day. This belt-bag makes the perfect utility belt to hold your ID & phone so no need to carry that purse. This is not for the faint of heart. However, we do have another full glitter teddy by Allure that provides a bit more coverage.

We have lingerie for all shapes and sizes of beautiful bodies from XS – 4X! Stop in to any of our 5 locations and look at our selection and with a little creativity our team can help you come up with a sexy last minute costume.

12 Lingerie Pieces That Will Make Hearts Race

January 28, 2018 by Velvet Box

You know that feeling when someone gives you an incredible present, beautifully wrapped in an intricate paper and tied up with a gorgeous ribbon? You take time to appreciate that wrapping, and it makes that gift even more special. Lingerie is exactly like that. You are the gift and lingerie is the gorgeous wrapping.

There is a myth that only certain bodies look good in lingerie. This is incredibly false. There is lingerie for everybody’s body. Lingerie that accentuates the curves of your body in a way that gives you a boost of confidence. At Velvet Box, we are here to help you find that perfect piece. We carry sizes XS – 5X. And girl, do we have some gorgeous pieces.

This delicious babydoll is classic glamour with its nude chiffon & intricate red lace applique as well as underwire to give the girls a boost. This is a universal piece that looks amazing on everyone. And if the thongs aren’t your style, ask us about our red lace booty shorts.

A pair of knee-high socks, messy bun and this outfit is just cozy and yet still so sexy they won’t be able to keep their hands off you. Available in black, red and light grey.

What’s sexier than a black bustier? Pair with a set of thigh highs and watch him melt! This hugs the curves in all the right places! Gorgeous paired with a high waisted skirt and jacket for dinner and without for dessert.

Isn’t this stunning? Honestly, these Eyelash lace robes paired with any lingerie piece really heighten the look. A true show stopper coming in White, Black & Red. Available in straight and also plus sizes.

Ok. So we may have a slight robe obsession here. But in our defense, they look amazing alone, with a sexy piece of lingerie or just a tiny pair of panties. This particular robe is made out of the softest yummiest material on the planet. We want to literally live in this robe. Also pictured is this 7til midnight striped number that is dark and sexy, you may have to remind him not to just rip it off, or don’t. 😉

Wow. We love pieces of lingerie that can also be worn as clothing. Just imagine this crop-top over a cute bra paired with a cute skirt and heels. That’s just sexy.

This hot midnight lace two piece is elevated with the addition of a delicate gold chain detail that glistens against the body. If this particular piece isn’t for you but love the idea of a body chain, try adding one of our body chains to your favorite lingerie piece.

Worried about VBL (Visible Belly Lines)? While we think that VBLs are seriously sexy, we understand that a lot of women want to camouflage this part of their bodies to feel a little more confident. This outfit will do just that. The ruching is extremely forgiving and incredibly flattering. Also, take the halter down to bare yourself without uncovering it all at once. This makes it perfect for a little striptease.

Remember earlier when I said that robe was made out of a yummy soft material? Well this adorable two-piece booty short and bralette is made from that exact same material. It is stretchy, sexy and silky soft.

Is this a skirt? Is this lingerie? YES! This black chiffon wrap has the power to be both! Wear it over a bodysuit and a pair of leggings, wear it over a bra and panty set, wear it over a mini skirt or high waisted shorts as seen here. It’s a totally versatile piece and therefore a must-have for everyone. Available in both straight and plus sizes.

Are you looking for something a little more modern? Maybe a little more… Blade Runner bedroom cosplay? This black teddy/chemise combo is for you. Pair with a hot pair of fishnets and maybe even that skirt above! Available in straight as well as plus sizes too!

These styles and many more are available at all of our locations. So come on in and let us help you pick a piece that will leave them breathless!

If you want to check out some of our other pieces and get sneak peeks of our upcoming projects, you can follow us on Instagram, Twitter & Facebook! And we couldn’t leave this post without one more gratuitous shot of another gorgeous robe! Sorry, not sorry!
