Under the Covers Couture

Attention: open in a new window.

Q: Help, I am not sure what wear "in the bedroom" for the first time encounter with my new boyfriend?

You need to wear what makes you feel comfortable about yourself, but don’t take this advice to extremes by covering up in flannel pajamas or vamping it up in a red satin corset.

I suggest you take some time to look at some of the latest lingerie style on Internet sites like Victoria’s Secret, FigLeaves.com and/or Le PetitCoquette (thelittleflirt.com). Once you get a sense of what you like and feels right to you, head to the nearest store for a fitting.

Whatever you do, don’t let the mirrors scare you. When it comes to intimacy apparel there is something for every body type and taste. Here are some suggestions based on the vibe you want to give off:

Flirty: Soft girly colors and patterns such as pink or simple florals in a sheer fabric will show your playful side.

Shy: A cute babydoll, minus too many frills, will let him know you’re modest and daring all at them same time. If that seems to risqué, a camisole and shorts set will do just as well.

Seductive: Anything black in lace, silk or satin gives off a powerful sultry mix, especially if it’s a teddy or a négligée

No matter what you choose just remember that confidence and an open mind is the best thing you can wear in the bedroom!
