Discover which sexy lingerie suits your body type

Your body is beautiful, regardless of your cup size or the numbers on the scale. And a beautiful body deserves beautiful lingerie. The right lingerie can make you feel even more beautiful, sexy and self-confident, which, in turn, can give your sex life a great boost. Which lingerie works best depends on your body type. Here’s an overview of all the different body types and the lingerie that goes well with them. 

Heart-shaped

Your shoulders and breasts are the widest part of your body. Because your breasts have quite a bit of volume, it’s important to choose a bra that supports them well. For example, go for an underwire bra with large cups. To make your hips look wider, it’s best to choose a babydoll. This draws attention to your beautiful breasts, while the flared fabric makes your hips look wider. A halterneck line will emphasise your shoulders, so if you don’t want that, it’s best to opt for narrow straight straps.

Apple-shaped

Your waist is the widest part of your body. If you want to, you can make your waist look longer and narrower by choosing a bodysuit with a V-neck. Or go for a sexy kimono… whether you wear anything underneath is up to you 😉 You can also choose a bralette that falls a bit further below your breasts. This in combination with high panties or thongs gives the illusion of a narrower waist.

Pear-shaped

Your shoulders, breasts, and waist are quite narrow, while your body becomes wider from the hips down. Choose a (strapless) balconette bra to emphasise your upper body and make it look a bit wider. High panties or thongs will also look good on you.

Hourglass figure

Your shoulders and hips are about the same width and your waist is narrow. This makes your figure very symmetrical. You can emphasise this by wearing a tight body or a corset. This will show off your slim waist as well as your curves. Complete this look with a sexy pair of stockings.

Straight figure

Your figure is quite straight. Your shoulders, waist, and hips are equally wide. This body type can make any kind of lingerie work well. Do you want to emphasise your slim shapes? Then go for a tight body. Do you want to create some more curves? Opt for a printed babydoll for more volume. Experiment with different sets and find out what you feel most comfortable in. Because when you’re confident and feel beautiful, you’re incredibly sexy.
