Happy Valentine’s Day. For anyone still looking for last minute gifts we have some lingerie tips from an underwear expert.

One of the main things that men who want to buy their ladies lingerie must remember is that they should never utter the words “she’s just about your size” to the lingerie store attendants.

“When someone enters the store, and motions to one of the agents, “She’s about your size,” that’s the biggest no-no of all!,” insists Jemma Hill, manager at Agent Provocateur in Glasgow.

“If you’re too shy to ask your partner about sizes, look at the labels in the underwear they wear most often. Try and find out bra size, dress size, and whether they prefer a padded or non-padded bra.

Meanwhile, Odyssey Boutique director Sarah Connnelly shares, “Have a snoop at the labels while you hang out the laundry, or have a little rifle through her underwear drawer. Does she like to wear lace or silk, shorts or thong, with or without suspenders?,” she adds.

The underwear experts say that safe choices would be silk pyjamas or chemises. A pair of stockings and suspenders would be great Valentine’s Day gifts as well.

Hill also said that these days, the trend seems to point to Mad Men-inspired lingerie. Mad Men is a popular drama show in the USA and other countries. Connelly, on the other hand, merely stressed that at the end of the day, the brand of the lingerie does not matter. What matters is that the lingerie is comfortable and of good quality.
