A Man's How-To Guide to Lingerie

Most women know how to shop and find clothing that makes them look good.

When it comes to buying gifts for the women in their lives, men can be clueless especially when it comes to lingerie...

Teresa Caldwell, owner of Taste clothing boutique in Suluth, agreed that what a woman wears should reflect her attitude.

"It all depends on her," Caldwell said. "If she's prissy and sassy and very chic, then I would do something real sexy, slimming and long."

Color is key
Picking out the right color is also important with lingerie. Strumer said black is always a man's perfect bet if he doesn't know what color to buy.

But she said blondes typically look nice in blue and pinks, and brunettes generally can wear red or burgundy. Redheads can wear green or royal blue.

Black isn't the only sexy, fun color. All three experts agreed pink is making a comeback this year.

"Pink is the hottest color of the season," Strumer said. "It's everywhere."

"I think colors like your corals and pinks are definitely coming back," Caldwell agreed.
