What Men Really Want This Valentine's Day

February 8, 2010

Want to treat your man to some sexy lingerie this Valentine's Day?

They say opposites attract – and when it comes to our undies, men usually go for the exact opposite of what we would choose for ourselves. But thanks to our guide, you can please yourself and the man in your life this Valentine’s Day.

Racy RED: Most men confess they like lingerie of red or burgundy colours. Nothing amazing I would say. Red is a colour of passion and provokes corresponding associations. Woman wearing red is perceived as confident, passionate and sexually skillful.

Valentine's Day Lingerie featuring Miranda KerrBLACK never need be basic: Black lingerie is sexy and at the same time romantic, especially if the set is almost transparent and all her curves are seen beautifully.

Smooth as SILK: Men definitely prefer silk lingerie as this fabric adds much brightness to the colour and thus makes it look twice (or even more) sexier than cotton. Just remember Naomi Campbell who wears exclusively light-toned silk lingerie that accentuates the colour of her skin. She looks very hot!

BIG PANTS...hmmm..not sure about this one: New research by luxury French lingerie brand Simone Perele shows that 84 per cent of men do not like G-strings and, perhaps surprisingly, 67 per cent would opt for their partner to wear big pants. Those polled also voted Kylie, Cheryl Cole and Beyonce as having the best celebrity behinds! If big pants are not your thing, opt for a shorty or french knicker.

Always ACCESSORIZE with GARTERS, SUSPENDERS etc: When it comes to impressing your man, you can't be too obvious. The more obvious the underwear is, the more appealing men find it. Red, black, satin, thongs and stockings all sell well in the run up to Valentine's Day.

And one more thing: lingerie should be worn beautifully and taken off even more seductively!
