Spoylt - Collectible, hand crafted, haute couture lingerie designed in London

Luxury lingerie can be the perfect gift for a loved one this season. There are just a few key points to follow to ensure that a perfect gift doesn’t turn into a perfect disaster!

As a man buying lingerie for a woman, one of the most important things is to know her correct size! Stealthily delve deep into her underwear draw first and check the labels. Buying lingerie that is too small, to try and flatter, is just as much of a pit-fall as buying it too big, which implies you think she looks larger than she really is.

While you’re rummaging through her underwear, figure out what her style is. Thongs or hipster briefs, camisole or negligee, favourite colours and materials…all things that need to be investigated! Also, assuming that the gift may be opened in front of the family on Christmas day, make sure its appropriate (luxury rather than lecherous) and won’t cause any unnecessary embarrassment.

Whatever the occasion or circumstances, here are a few Spoylt suggestions:

Something sultry and sophisticated, the Captivate Camisole and French knicker

A little more risqué, the Ingrid bra and knicker set or the Mae bra and knicker with matching cuffs,

And for ultimate festivity, why not purchase the Passion bra, thong and garter,

Soft Goth

The Gothic trend is huge this season, with catwalks covered in vintage black lace, full skirts and charcoal eye make-up. Designers such as Nicole Fahri, Alexander McQueen and Manish Arora are all doing it, but we at Spoylt feel its only right for us to offer you a subtle alternative to all this black (even if it will sometimes go unseen!). Pair this Caroline Hedaya Gothic inspired dress (also available at shopbop.com) with the Embrace Bra and thong, to add a shimmer of silver underneath this beautiful lace number,
