What should you be looking for on your shopping trip for satin lingerie? Let us take a look at some satin lingerie dos and dont’s.

Tips on Satin Nightgown Selection

* Choose the design or style of night gown for the occasion. If it is for your wedding night, then opt for a style that shows your romantic or seductive side. The same rule applies should you be contemplating a fabulous romantic weekend getaway or a special trip. However, if you just want to be pampered on a regular day with luxurious satin sleepwear, simplicity will do. Ponder on whether you feel comfortable in nightgowns with a side slit or ones with no slit. Or, if you prefer spaghetti shoulder straps or sleeveless styles. No matter which style you end up choosing for whichever occasion, a long flowing satin nightgown will ultimately be a lingerie favorite.

* Take the opportunity to accentuate your assets and hide your flaws. So, for example, if you have fantastic legs then don’t be afraid to show them off in a short peekaboo nightie. If you’ve got a gorgeous bustline, go for a plunging neckline that will emphasize your girls. Or, if your hips are curvy like Shakira’s, go for a tighter or snugger form fitting gown that will ehance those gorgeous curves. And, if you are not comfortable showing off your legs, check out longer nightgowns with a straight line design that will visually add length to the leg, creating a long and lean look. Satin nightgowns are available in all of these styles and others, so finding a gown that suits your silhouette is a snap.

* Choose a color that you love, but also one that you are comfortable in. Pick something that compliments your personality. Light colors like white and pastels suggest a quiet reprieve from a long, busy day. Meanwhile, vivid colors like black, red, and regal purple, show romantic inclinations. These colors make a fearless and feminine lingerie statement. They are all about loving, seduction, and intimacy. Color in ladies sleepwear reflects personality and intent in lingerie and intimate apparel. So, go ahead and select a color that you will enjoy and feel fabulous in and your love of lingerie will flourish.
