Lingerie Styles by Body Type

2010-05-03T09:01:00.002-04:00

Shopping for lingerie isn't just about finding the right look — it's about finding the right look for you, as different lingerie collections flatter different body types. But whether you're tall, toned, petite, or plus-sized, www.PamperedPassions.com has got you covered!

Tall Women

It's time to show off those long legs! Stylists recommend classic pieces — bras, panties, knee-highs, and garters — to accentuate your legs and torso. Keep things simple by investing in lingerie sets of coordinated items.

Toned Women

Breasts are nice and all, but most toned women have other assets at their disposable. To flaunt your shapely derriere, boy shorts are the way to go! And don't let the name fool you — available in sheer, lace, and ruffle designs, these babies can be plenty feminine.

Petite Women

Many petite women rely on heels to make them appear taller, but in the bedroom this usually isn't an option. For such intimate settings, try a chemise or babydoll with a slit along the leg to lengthen your form.

Plus-sized Women

Voluptuous figures are often suited for corset or bustier lingerie styles to promote an hourglass shape, leaving your extra padding in all the right places. For a slimming effect, choose lingerie in dark colors like maroon, navy, or black.

Look sexy in Jenna Leigh lingerie collections

2010-04-27T17:30:00.006-04:00

We love the glamorous and sexy lingerie styles from Jenna Leigh. The New York-based designer hit the lingerie world in fall 2009, turning heads with her modern, functional designs that also feature intricate finishing touches like topstitching, keyhole openings, gathering and paneling, as well as buttons, silver lingerie hooks, and silk straps and closures.

Jenna Leigh believes that there's no limit to the virtues of lingerie. "Lingerie is the first thing you put on and the last thing you take off, every single day. It sets the foundation for the way you look and feel, inspiring every emotion from confident to coquette," the designer says.

Jenna Leigh’s seductive lingerie collections include everything from garters, skirts and nighties to bras and panties featuring gorgeous Chantilly lace and silk. Her designs are inspired by current runway trends and retro fashions, and exude a timeless glamor to give women style and confidence.

Here are some of our favorite lingerie styles, which come in Midnight Blue and Deep Plum:

- Sexy Jenna Leigh Malawi Skirt featuring stretch silk satin and removable and adjustable garters.
- Smokin' hot Jenna Leigh Namos Demi Bra with lacy finishes and underwire cups.
- Super-comfortable Jenna Leigh Malawi Triangle Bra with black eyelash lace and adjustable straps.
- Saucy Jenna Leigh Namos Garterbelt lined with gorgeous lace and silk.

Our Best-Selling Lingerie Collections

2010-04-19T09:01:00.000-04:00

Since lingerie tends to be worn under the clothes, it’s sometimes difficult to keep track of the latest styles – how are you supposed to know what people are wearing when you can’t even see it? Fortunately, browsing the best-selling lingerie collections on Pampered Passions makes it easy to stay up-to-date in the world of intimate wear.

Let’s take a look at some of our favorite pieces:

Stretch Lace Shelf Bra by Shirley of Hollywood
This revealing bra is made of stretch lace, one of the most comfortable – and yet alluring – materials on the market. Choose light pink or white lace for an innocent look, or get down to business with a bra in sultry black. Can’t decide? The playful purple garnet offers the best of both worlds.

Anais Smooth Push Up Bra by Sawren
Imported from Europe, this off-white push-up bra is an elegant and sexy piece of bridal lingerie, although it also suitable for everyday use. For a slightly edgier look, try the Halter Push Up, also a part of Sawren’s Anais lingerie.

Best of all, both of these lingerie styles are on sale! Visit www.PamperedPassions.com to save $10 on the Shirley shelf bra, or an incredible $55 on the Sawren push-up.

Lingerie Brands for Spring

2010-04-12T09:01:00.000-04:00

Spring has sprung! To bring a bit of the great outdoors indoors – and into the bedroom – you can’t go wrong with bras and panties boasting a warm-weather vibe! Read on for three of our favorite lingerie brands featuring spring styles:

Eberjey
Known for creating luxury sleepwear and loungewear, Eberjey has a way with bras and panties as well, as evidenced in the picture above. This sheer lace set features a triangle bralet and alluring boy-thong, available in both carnation and orchid colors.

Lola Luna
Famous for its micro g-strings, Lola Luna is a French lingerie brand with plenty of floral spring designs. Enchanted with lace, jewel, and ribbon detailing, the elegant piece above is actually one of the brand’s tamer models. (For something even more exciting, take a look at Lola Luna’s crotchless options!)

Axami Lingerie
This European brand has truly outdone itself with the Melissa lingerie styles, which are decorated with embroidered flowers in white, black, and lavender, as well as satin bows and sheer panels. This marvelous collection includes push-up bra, panty, and corset components.

Babydoll Lingerie Styles for Every Occasion

2010-04-01T10:23:00.003-04:00

When you close your eyes and think of the word “babydoll,” everyone envisions of something different. Some women see a luxurious satin top with full coverage, while others picture a sheer lycra or mesh babydoll leaving little to the imagination. But whether you’re into leather or lace, bows or fur, babydoll lingerie styles are available in a wide variety of materials, silhouettes, and designs, ensuring that there’s a babydoll out there for you.

In addition to catering to all styles, babydolls accommodate all confidence levels as well, as many are manufactured out of opaque materials or sold alongside optional robes for optimum coverage. Many plus-sized women enjoy babydolls as well, as their flexible shapes flatter women of all body types. Babydolls are also sold in a wide range of necklines, including off-the-shoulder, strapless, and classic babydoll lingerie styles.

One of our favorite babydolls at www.PamperedPassions.com is the babydoll, thong, and toy set by DreamGirl Lingerie. This charmingly pink collection features a strapless babydoll with sequin butterfly detailing and an open cut below the bust, in addition to a coordinating open-crotch thong and – believe it or not – a matching battery-operated intimate toy. Who knew lingerie collections could be this much fun?

Bridal Lingerie Collections: From Corsets to Garters

2010-03-22T09:02:00.001-04:00

Even if you’re not the type to splurge on fancy lingerie, getting married is a fantastic excuse to treat yourself to a little extravagance with items from bridal lingerie collections. These pieces range from the white (the Hanky Panky lace bridal thong, for example) to the not-so-white, like Simone Perele’s bridal bustier in black. For a nice middle ground, many women on their second or third weddings prefer off-white designs, like the Sawren Anais bridal collection.

Bridal lingerie will flatter your figure throughout your wedding ceremony, all the while providing you with an extra burst of confidence. Whether you need a halter cut to match your dress or high-waisted panties for a tighter tummy, there are plenty of lingerie styles available to match your needs.

When selecting bridal lingerie, however, many women are less interested in bras and panties as they are auxiliary items like garters, corsets, and chemises. Far from everyday attire, these lingerie styles will help the special day feel even more special. Bridal garters and camisoles are also frequently decorated with ornate bows and ruffles, making for a look that’s both festive and whimsically over-the-top.

Our Favorite Lingerie Brands: Elle Macpherson and More

2010-03-15T09:01:00.001-04:00

If you’re looking for luxury intimates, there are certain lingerie brands that simply cannot be ignored. In each case, the designers offer unique perspectives, creating top quality lingerie using compelling silhouettes and luscious materials. Check out three of our favorite fine lingerie designers below.

Elle Macpherson: The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue might have made her famous, but the Australian actor and model Elle Macpherson also knows a thing or two about lingerie. Macpherson’s pieces feature classic shapes juxtaposed against innovative designs, including sheer mesh, embroidered tulle, and unexpected color schemes.

Claire Pettibone: Get in touch with your imaginative side with Claire Pettibone loungewear and lingerie, known for its distinctly vintage feel. A master with lace, Pettibone offers alluring chemises with ribbon accents and floral print bras and panties in every conceivable cut.

Mary Green: When it comes to Mary Green, it’s all about silk. Green combines elegant Chinese silk satin with her own exquisite taste in jewelry to produce one of our favorite lingerie collections. Choose a satin sleep mask to feel regal anytime, or showcase you assets with one of Green’s delicately shaped bras in satin and lace.

Lingerie Styles: Finding the Perfect Panties

2010-03-08T11:55:00.000-05:00

You probably know the basic panty lingerie styles already: bikinis, boy shorts, and thongs (we have Sisqó to thank for that last one). But have you heard of a skirtini? We didn’t think so.

Let’s go over some of your basic — and not-so-basic — lingerie designs:

Bikinis: With their comfortable shape and high level of coverage, bikinis are great for everyday use, but the right lace, ruffles, embroidery, or sheer materials can make these babies as sexy as the rest.

Boy shorts: Boy shorts make it easy to show off a tantalizing portion of your derrière without giving too much away. You’ve got to make him earn it, don’t you?

Thongs: Sisqó, we meet again. Available as conventional thongs or skimpy g-strings, thongs allow your assets to speak for themselves.

Skirtinis: Who says you can’t be sexy and cute at the same time? Combining whimsy, grace, and a healthy dose of flirtation, skirtinis are a great way to mix it up.

Crotchless panties: Sometimes you have to go without. But with the right lingerie collections, it hardly feels like a sacrifice. Crotchless panties (and thongs) are a great choice for ladies looking to conserve fabric.

Not everyone gets to see you in your lingerie, but they can see its effects from a mile away. This is because lingerie styles have a huge impact on your appearance and confidence level, not to mention your sex life.

With the right lingerie, you’ll feel better both with and without clothes, as certain cuts and features can enhance your bust, hold in your stomach, and prevent panty lines, among other perks. And of course, there’s nothing like elegant lace, luxurious satin, or sexy leather to turn up the heat when the clothes come off.

We stock top quality pieces in styles of all kinds, from innocent bridal lingerie to sexy shelf bras with matching pasties.
