Ditch boring daywear

UNINSPIRED by the contents of your lingerie drawer?

Whether you're a sexy singleton or loved-up spouse, February 14 is the day to ditch the boring daywear undies and indulge in some sexy new smalls.

Whether there's a new man on the scene or not, it's a fabulous excuse to indulge in some dress-to-impress gear.

Make your Valentine's night sizzle with super-hot new lingerie.

The Romantic loves pretty but chic styles in this season's on-trend pale and interesting tones like oyster pinks, peaches and pale mushrooms.

The Sexy Siren attracts wolf whistles wherever she walks and demands attention in ostentatious, clingy or colourful styles that showcase her body to the max.

If you're feeling daring, boost that vampish appeal with provocative lingerie like peek-a-boo pants or plunge push-up bras. Suspender belts and stockings may also appeal to your Valentine's siren side.

The Retro Pin-up idolises Hollywood icons like Marilyn Monroe and lives for vintage fashion. Their look is all about celebrating curves.

Fuller figured bosoms look their voluptuous best supported by a vintage-style full bra cup. Go for retro lace, velvet or bow detailing.

The Playful Seductress is childlike in nature and favours fun and colourful prints in her wardrobe.

Contrast colours and surprise clashing prints like stripes and spots are a great option for you.

Guys, if the puzzling world of balconettes, basques or bras is giving you frown lines, you're not alone. Impress on February 14 with your superior lingerie knowledge.

Remember the three golden rules - size, shape and style - and you're halfway there.

When choosing colours, look at her wardrobe to see what shades she normally favours.

If you've never seen her wear red before, don't buy her red underwear. If in doubt, black is always a flattering option.

Keep in mind that you're buying lingerie for her, not you - but get it right, boys, and you'll reap the benefits.
