Underwear as a gift for her and what is safe to choose

Short answer: Briefs as a gift are a risk, because the cut is personal. Either choose a model the recipient already wears, or give something where size is less critical.

The cut is personal

A hipster and a tai fit the same person differently. Without knowing what she wears, the chance of getting it right is small, and underwear in the wrong cut is left unused. See bamboo briefs.

Safer choices

Nightwear, socks and a soft top are easier to get right, because they are meant to sit loosely. See bamboo tops for women.

If you want to anyway

Choose black in the cut she already has, and buy several pairs of the same. Then it is a top up rather than a guess, and that is in fact the gift that gets used most.
