There is no doubt that most women love a romantic gift of silky satin lingerie but, they are unlikely to be impressed with any of those tacky sheer lingerie styles you find on the internet. The only people that have even a passing interest in this kind of lingerie believe it or not are men. They seem to be under the impression that sheer lingerie is somehow sexy and that she will look great in it. The truth is that these guys are only buying the stuff because they like the idea of their partners wearing it purely for their own titillation.

The ladies much prefer the caress of satin and pure silk against their skin in the form of fine lingerie or elegant stylish nightwear. If you aren't convinced take a secret peek in her lingerie drawers and see for yourself. You are unlikely to find any of that tacky sheer lingerie in their unless you bough it yourself or maybe it had an airing roundabout Halloween time. Don't misunderstand what's being said here though because she will wear that kind of thing if you insist but only if she thinks it makes you happy.

Before you start however it may be wise to do a little research and gather some vital information. Don't panic though because everything you need is literally at your fingertips so to speak. Choose your moment when she is not around and have a good rifle through her lingerie collection. In the nicest possible way of course and all in her best interest. You are looking for some clues so pay attention here. What's in those drawers and closets guys? You need to find out what style of pantie she prefers or whether she wears tights (pantie hose) or sheer nylons with silky satin suspender belts.

The more info you have about her lingerie or nightwear taste the better your chances of success with your lingerie buying efforts and the happier you will make her. Oh! and don't forger to read those labels for the all important sizing information because if you get that wrong you will be in trouble. In fact if you wanted to upset her without even trying all you need do is buy her something a couple of sizes too big. Remember that women dress for comfort when it comes down to lingerie but they also want to feel feminine and confident too.

You can't go far wrong with a bra and pantie set in satin or pure decadent silk if you really want to impress her. Take care however not to go "over the top" and end up buying her something she is never going to wear. If you want her to get the maximum use out of your romantic lingerie gift color is going to be a major factor in your purchase. Creams and whites are the safest because she will be able to wear them under most of her outfits but hints of colored lace or pretty feminine ribbon are not a problem in moderation either. If you decide on nightwear then color won't be such a big issue, in fact different shades really do have an effect on mood but always be aware of her personal taste.
