Walking into Victoria’s Secret or that pricey little boutique can be a terrifying experience for some. The questions of Lace or no lace? Is white an off-limit color? And what about garters? Shopping for lingerie is all about looking hot and feeling great. Distraction has created a guide to help all college fashionistas find their perfect version of sexy.
Buying lingerie is all about finding what best works for your body. What works best for your roommate may leave you uncomfortable and vice versa. Lingerie should highlight your best features and will look amazing when you find something that works for your body type.
For example, the apron style that is ever popular at Victoria’s Secret looks great on very thin girls, but someone with more of an hourglass shape should opt for a teddy. The loose fabric helps to hide flaws while highlighting your boobs, which is always a win in my opinion.
Curvier girls should stay away from ruching on the sides because it adds fullness to one’s shape. But for girls with a straighter body type it will help create an hourglass illusion. Ruffles always accentuates, so an outfit with some on the bust or the butt will make those assets seem larger.
Lace has always been a very popular lingerie option. There are many styles but if you’re buying a tighter piece be sure to try it on (trust us, it will help). Lace is normally skin tight so a size up may allow for a more comfortable fit.
Lace is like silk and will show every flaw so, to wear it, confidence is key. Victoria’s Secret and other places like Forever XXI have a variety of lace pieces in for this season and the bright colors will pop on many skin tones for a great spring look.
Color can add a certain mood for your night. Black and red ooze sex appeal whereas pale pink and brighter colors have a sweet vibe. Leave the white for the newlyweds and try a fun hir that you haven’t worn before.
To garter or not to garter is a hard decision that many women have to make. The good thing about is that they make your legs look amazing and super sexy, but the problem is trying to get them on. You can buy pieces that have garter clips or if you want to show more skin, you can purchase a bra and panty set with a matching garter belt.
The clips are hard to open up and even harder to close onto your thigh-high stockings. This is not something to debut after a drunken night on the town but instead a planned occasion, like formal or an important anniversary. The clips will take time so make sure that they will be appreciated.
There are many options that can be used to dress up the night. The best option is to go into the store with no time limits, a free afternoon and an open mind. Most importantly, take your time trying on outfits to see what makes your curves whistle-worthy and what doesn’t work for your body type.

Guys, are you shopping for your girlfriend, slampiece and/or sex friend? Let Distraction help you navigate the lingerie store with these quick tips.
Know her size- Bras come in very specific sizes. If you pick a small size you risk making her feel fat, ifs it’s too big she could think that you think she’s flat and fat, so know her size. Pick up the bra that is lying on the floor of her dorm room, since you’re buying lingerie we assume you see her naked regularly and thus a bra could be on the floor, or ask one of her good friends who can keep a secret to get the right size.
Look at what she wears- Most girls who wear lingerie have a style that they prefer. Does she always show off for you in an innocent lace teddy or does she wear tight corsets and garters? If she isn’t comfortable in what you’re bought you will not see it again. So get something you both will like.
Know You’re budget- Guys are easy targets for Vickie’s employees and they will always pick out the most expensive stuff and add all the extras. So come in with a budget in mind, your credit card will thank you. Besides, are those sequin fishnet tights and edible body chocolate really necessary? Most girls will answer with a ew.
Ask for help if you need it- If you don’t know what to pick out for your girlfriend don’t be afraid to ask. Walk up to an employee and tell your budget, your girlfriend’s size and what she normally likes to wear. The associate will help you find something quickly and since she knows your budget she wont try to have you buy the whole store.
