A Gentleman's Lingerie Lifeline

designer lingerie guideAt Fox & Rose we know how receiving beautiful designer lingerie can make a woman feel like a princess. A carefully chosen gift of lingerie can be an intimate and seductive gesture, and if you’ve selected well your efforts will no doubt be rewarded accordingly.

Let us help you through the process to ensure your loved one is bowled over this year with your good taste and knowledge of her size so that your gift doesn’t become one of the many lingerie sets languishing unloved in her top drawer for years to come!

fox & rose’s top tips for buying the perfect designer lingerie gift:

1 Know Her Size

Check her underwear drawer to get the right sizes. It’s sneaky but works wonders. Look in the labels to find out what bra size and knicker size she wears. If that’s not possible and she has protected all her clothing with deadlocks choose a beautiful silk robe or chemise.

2 Be Taste Sensitive

This will bring you serious brownie points. What style of knicker does she normally wear? Does she like thongs, French briefs or a classic lace knicker? If she’s not a fan of red suspenders, don’t try and tempt her out of her comfort zone. If she is feminine, go for one of the stunning nude or pale lingerie sets and show her you pay attention. If she’s a seductress opt for a more sultry look in classic black. At fox & rose we’ve made this easier for you. Just Shop By Fox if she is a vamp or Shop By Rose if she is elegantly feminine. And don’t forget most women are both!

3 Make It Special

Designer lingerie is a treat. We find that men either veer towards safe options or opt for ill fitting crotchless knickers! However most women enjoy receiving beautiful underwear they might not necessarily buy themselves. Be bold, go for something versatile and different. Try a babydoll paired with a minimal thong for a luxuriously sensual look for example.  If you’re stuck, opt for the Fox & Rose ethos and buy her something bold and edgy as well as something classic and feminine and cover both looks.

4 Stay On Trend

Go for a vintage inspired look with high waisted knickers or a longline bra. Or opt for a limited edition print. Some labels such as Stella McCartney Lingerie, La Perla and Ell & Cee are fashion-inspired and you’ll demonstrate some serious style knowledge if you manage to channel this season’s key trends into her designer lingerie collection. Damaris is an excellent choice for a truly special gift, whereas Mimi Holliday never fails to delight and Maison Close is perfect for a sensuous touch.

5 Be Practical

Ask for help – whether you are buying on or offline. Most retailers enjoy helping out their male customers so have fun! And don’t forget to opt for the gift wrapping…stunning packaging is essential and you won’t have the chore of making it look beautiful either.
