Advice for Men
|
You should primarily consider the person you are buying the items for and yourself secondarily. Will she be comfortable with the items you have in mind? Is she an out-going fun loving type or more of an introvert. Will she enjoy wearing the items you have in mind? As for choosing the right colours, she may have preferences that you are aware of. Failing that consider her hair colour.. blondes suit black and blue whilst for brunettes white and red look great and green is particularly nice for redheads.
Get The Right Size
If you do not know her size and if the purchase is intended as a suprise gift it may not be appropriate to ask; have a sneaky look at recently worn items. That does not give you implied permission to go where you know you shouldn't but if you have access to drawers, wardrobes, or if you see stuff lying around on the bedroom floor tell her to tidy up! The scruff! Don't do that really, just have a little look.
