The thing that comes to mind first for most people when they think of lingerie is the teddy. This piece of intimate apparel will always be an integral part of any woman's wardrobe. They come in a variety of styles with some having built in bras and some that have no cups. The teddy is much more than just a short little item with spaghetti straps. They can be used to hide flaws or worn as a sexy shirt with a favorite skirt or pair of pants and you will be the only one that knows you are really wearing a teddy until you decide to reveal it to a special someone.

The way to get the best out of this versatile lingerie item is to choose one that hides any bad features you may have and brings out your best ones. As I mentioned before, there are numerous styles and choices available so it is easy for anyone to find something that will work well for them. Take your time and shop around so that you are sure to get just the right style and fit for you. You want to make sure that you know your dress size, bra and panty size, as well as your blouse size so you will have all of the information you need to get just the right teddy for you. You also want to consider what fabrics you are comfortable in and avoid the ones that are irritating to you.

There are even more fabric designs than there are different styles of teddies and of course they are available in myriad of colors as well. One of the most popular fabric choices is silk which will give you a comfortable and soft piece of lingerie that is sexy but also versatile at the same time. Similar to silk, satin is another great choice and it is also easier to care for. If you aren't bothered by lace these types of teddies are very hot and their revealing nature is lots of fun. If you are really voyeuristic you can always go with a mesh one that really shows everything and will drive any man out of his mind.

One of the least things that women think of when they are lingerie shopping is color and the majority of women simply choose the favorite color of their partner or themselves. Another popular choice is to go with white or black but you really shouldn't be so simplistic. You want to choose colors that are flattering to your skin, hair, and eyes. To give you an idea, if you have fair skin you will probably look better in medium or darker colors while those with darker skin look great in pastel or light colors. If you have a medium skin tone like olive colored skin you will look best in earthy colors or fabrics that are darker.
