Choosing lingerie is about finding a style and fit that make you feel comfortable and confident. Different shapes, fabrics and size charts can look very different on the body, so this guide helps you compare products without the guesswork.
Start with the style you enjoy
Bodysuits and teddies
One-piece designs create a coordinated look without matching separates. Check torso length, stretch, closures and whether cups are structured or soft.
Bras, briefs and lingerie sets
Two-piece sets make it easier to mix sizes or styles, although some packaged sets sell a single combined size. Check what is included before ordering.
Basques and corset-inspired styles
Look at fastening types, boning, adjustability and whether the garment is intended for appearance or actual shaping. Not every corset-style item provides structural waist support.
Stockings, hold-ups and hosiery
Check size range, leg length, stretch and whether suspenders or silicone hold-up bands are required. Product photos may show accessories sold separately.
Menswear and gender-inclusive styles
Lingerie is for anyone who enjoys it. Browse garments based on your body measurements, preferred coverage and aesthetic rather than assuming a category label dictates who can wear it.
How to choose the right size
- Take current measurements with a soft tape measure.
- Consult the brand's specific size chart rather than assuming every brand fits the same.
- Check how much stretch the fabric offers.
- Review torso length, bust support and waist/hip measurements where relevant.
- If choosing a gift, look for adjustable or flexible sizing rather than guessing.
For more detail, see the Scandals lingerie size guide.
Fabric, comfort and care
Mesh, lace, satin-look fabrics and stretch blends have different feels and maintenance needs. Look at seam placement and fastening hardware, and always read the garment's care label. Delicate items often need gentle washing and air drying.
Can I try lingerie on in store?
Fitting arrangements and hygiene rules depend on the product and store. Ask the team about the specific garment before trying it on. Check the applicable returns policy before purchasing intimate clothing.
