Tips to Feel Confident in Lingerie

For some people, the idea of wearing lingerie, showing off your body, and exposing some skin is an intimidating thought. And, walking into a lingerie store with no direction can definitely be an overwhelming experience. But I promise you it doesn’t have to be scary! With the right lingerie, you will feel more confident and sexier than ever. Here are my 5 top tips for feeling confident in lingerie.

Get the Right Fit

The fit of your lingerie is a total make-or-break point in the final look. Wearing the wrong size can be unflattering and uncomfortable—the top two things you want to avoid when wearing lingerie. That’s why it is so important to get fitted to make sure you are wearing your true size. Even if you think you know what size bra and panties you are, it won’t hurt to get your exact measurements. In fact, 80% of women wear the wrong size bras every day. And if you base the size of your lingerie off of an incorrect bra size, it’s super likely that it won’t compliment your body the way it should. If going in to get fitted is out of your comfort zone, check out the Victoria’s Secret Bra Size Calculator to get your true size.

Embrace Your authentic style

Lingerie is all about expressing your sensual side and feeling confident while doing it. That means it is going to look different for every woman. From colors, fabrics, textures, and accessories, there are so many options and ways you express your authentic sensuality through lingerie. Maybe this looks like a dainty babydoll slip or a lacy matching set, but it might also look like fishnets with a strappy cutout teddy or a leather lace-up corset. And if you aren’t entirely sure what style fits you, visit a lingerie store and try out a few different styles until you find what makes you feel sexy and powerful.

Set the mood

Even if you have the perfect lingerie set, it can still feel a little uncomfortable to wear if the environment isn’t right. Make your bed, dim the lights, light some candles or burn your favorite incense, and create yourself an alluring environment you feel safe in and that makes you look and feel your best. Setting a sensual mood in an environment you are comfortable in will heighten your confidence and help calm your nerves.
