How to Choose the Right Lingerie to Flatter Every Body Type

Here’s how to choose the best lingerie for your body type and personal style.


1. Hourglass body: embrace your curves with balance

Women with a defined waist and proportionate hips should choose figure-hugging and shaping lingerie that enhances their natural silhouette.

✅ Best choices:
✔ Balconette or push-up bras, to enhance the bust.
✔ High-waisted Brazilian briefs or culottes, to define the waistline.
✔ Shaping bodysuits, to smooth and highlight curves.

Did you know? Many women with an hourglass shape wear the wrong bra size, missing out on proper bust support and enhancement!


2. Pear-shaped body: balance the hips and bust

If your hips are more prominent than your bust, opt for lingerie that balances proportions and brings harmony to your shape.

✅ Best choices:
✔ Padded or triangle bras, to add volume to the bust.
✔ High-cut briefs or thongs, to elongate the legs.
✔ Bodysuits with lace details on the bust, to draw attention upward.

Fun fact: Briefs with lace or detailing around the upper thighs create an elongating effect on the legs!


3. Apple-shaped body: highlight the waist with comfort

Women with a fuller bust and slimmer legs should choose supportive yet comfortable lingerie that enhances their shape without constriction.

✅ Best choices:
✔ Supportive bras, to lift and shape the bust.
✔ High-waisted, shaping briefs, to define the waist.
✔ V-neck bodysuits, to elongate the figure.

Did you know? Diagonal seams on bodysuits create a slimming and lengthening effect more than horizontal cuts!


4. Rectangular body: create movement and definition

For women with similar measurements across the shoulders, waist, and hips, lingerie that adds curves and definition is key.

✅ Best choices:
✔ Push-up bras or lace-detailed bras, to enhance the bust.
✔ Briefs with ruffles or side ties, to add volume to the hips.
✔ Bodysuits with lace and mesh details, for a softer, more defined shape.

Fun fact: Lace and textured details give the illusion of more curves, making the figure look more feminine.


5. Colors and fabrics matter!

Beyond fit, colors and materials play a crucial role.

✅ Best color choices:
✔ Black and red: Elegant and seductive, perfect for any occasion.
✔ Nude and beige: Invisible under light clothing, great for everyday wear.
✔ Pastel tones: Romantic and feminine, ideal for spring!

✅ Top fabrics:
✔ Microfiber: Lightweight, breathable, and seamless.
✔ Cotton: The best choice for everyday comfort.
✔ Lace and satin: For a touch of elegance and sensuality.

Did you know? Red lingerie is often chosen for special occasions and is believed to boost confidence!
