Ok guys, so you've decided to purchase something pretty for that special lady and lingerie is always a great luxury item, but with so many different types out there it can be hard to choose something, let alone something that she will like.

Here's a quick guide to the different types of lingerie out there:

Babydoll - the babydoll is a lingerie classic and is a short nightgown that comes with matching underwear. The sexier versions tend to be sheer and often have a split or bow tie at the front.

Basque - A basque is the lingerie equivalent of a corset. It covers the bust area, right down to the hips. Many have suspender straps attached, while the strapless version is more like a corset but is designed as underwear, not outerwear.

Bustier - A bustier is similar to a basque but only comes to the waist and does not have suspender attachments.

Bras - sure you're familiar with these but you need to make sure that you're getting the right style as there are plenty of different versions. Take a look in her lingerie drawer to see her favourites and go with a similiar style but in a luxurious material or pretty print. And don't forget to make a note of the bra size!

Garter Belt - A garter belt is basically designed to hold up stockings. Some stockings have a built in garter but many do not, so you will need to take this into consideration! Many basques have an in- built garter belt, so this is also something to consider.

The most important thing to consider when buying lingerie for your better half is what her size is - if you aren’t sure, don’t guess - find out! You don't want to get something that doesn’t fit as it screams a lack of attention to detail and the gift will fall flat.

Also consider what kind of styles and colours she likes - a garment in black may be sexy and seductive, yet quite practical whereas a red or hot pink version may come across as overtly sexy, which could make her uncomfortable.
