Buying underwear online can be a challenge, but we're about to make your life a whole lot easier. In this ultimate guide to buying underwear online we'll guide you through finding the perfect size, fit and style when shopping for underwear online.
How to find the perfect fit when buying underwear online
It’s the first thing you put on in the morning, and the last thing you take off at night, so finding underwear that fits you perfectly is essential.
When shopping for underwear online, the easiest place to start is taking a look at the underwear you already own. What size is it? How well does it fit? A good tip is to not jump into buying the sizes you already own and instead look for the telltale signs that your underwear is the wrong size. It's not uncommon to be consistently be buying the wrong size, especially when it comes to bras. When it comes to briefs, consciously think about whether there are any areas that are too tight or loose, and size up or down depending on this.
Double check your sizing by checking out our online sizing chart and comparing your measurements. For briefs, measure your waist and hips, or use your dress size to find the right fit. If you are in-between sizes, we recommend sizing up for comfort. Measuring yourself for bras is a bit more complex, but this helpful guide in Glamour Magazine will guide you through the process.
Finding the perfect style when shopping for underwear online
Your underwear is the foundation of your outfit every single day. It can make or break how you feel, how comfortable you are, and how confident you feel in your own skin. Finding underwear that keeps you comfy all day long without compromising on a fit and style that makes you feel your best is key.
When buying underwear online, it helps to think about what your day looks like. How active are you during the day? Do you work from home, or are you always on the go?
