Plus Size Naughty Lingerie

Traditionally, curvy women have shied away from plus size naughty lingerie, for reasons as varied as not wanting to show too much skin to limited styles. However, in today’s culture, plus size women are demanding the same fashion options as their smaller counterparts, and lingerie is no exception.

If this is your first foray into naughty lingerie, start small. Take baby steps by purchasing a racy bra or panty to add to your existing undergarment collection. A lacy bra or pair of thong underwear can make you feel daring and bold. Do not shy away from color either; many of the best naughty pieces are vivid with colors (think rich red, shimmering gold or deep purple). Patterns, such as florals or geometrics are another good option. Consider coordinating patterns with matching covers, such as a kimono-style robe. However, for mixing and matching purposes, stick with solid colors. Fabrics are also another consideration when choosing naughty pieces. Lace and satin are tops; cotton is reserved for your more casual nighttime pajamas.

Step outside of your box and do not be afraid to try something you never have before. Many plus size clothing manufacturers sell lingerie that properly fits and flatters a plus size body. Do not be afraid to show a little skin - after all, that is the point of lingerie. If you are the type to wear comfortable cottons, be creative and try a lacy teddy. If you are given to baby tees and boy shorts, try a short and flirty satin gown that shows off fabulous cleavage and gently hugs the curves of your body. When it comes to your lingerie drawer, a little variety is a good thing as you are prepared for any situation or mood.

Like any other article of plus size clothing, plus size naughty lingerie requires the right fit for your particular shape. Something that fits too tightly can cause your skin to bulge out in an unattractive way. The key to looking great in plus size lingerie is to make sure the fabric drapes slightly loosely over your body. Don’t wear anything that clings to your curves.

Additionally, nothing that looks too big is going to be very flattering either. The motto here is that your lingerie should skim, not swim. Many women mistakenly think that by choosing lingerie that is a bigger size than what they normally wear, they can cover up more. However, the idea behind wearing lingerie is to show off some of those amazing curves, so hiding behind too much fabric is not the answer. Becoming more comfortable in your own skin and being adventurous to try new things will help you to choose pieces that really look great on you.
