The Popularity Of Sexy Lingerie

Author: Phoenix Delray Author's Email Address: pdelray@yahoo.com Lingerie is worn today as something to show off, be comfortable in, and look sexy in. Originally, it was used as undergarments for support. Lingerie originally was used for three reasons. The first reason was for women to alter the shape of their bodies, the second reason was for hygienic reasons, and the third was for modesty. Lingerie today, however, is looked at as much more than supportive underwear. Today these beautiful undergarments can be functional, comfortable, sexy and erotic, all at the same time. The word Lingerie is a word that comes from the French word linge, which in English translates to washables. Lin also translates to linen, the material that lingerie undergarments in Europe were made from before cotton from Egypt and India were introduced. Lingerie in past times and today are undergarments that are sexy or erotic and are usually made of Lycra, nylon, satin, lace, or silk. Before the invention of crinoline, womens lingerie was usually very bulky and roomy at best. Through the years of the 20th century, however, it became smaller and more form fitting. In the 2nd half of the century, lingerie began to become immortalized as sexually appealing and enticing and erotic. What is new in the 21st century is the idea of wearing it not only as underwear but also as outerwear. Straps and lace trim that are layered with regular outerwear have become high on the totem pole of the fashion industry. Models on runways everywhere are showing off new and inventive ways of wearing lingerie to be visible, as opposed to being worn concealed under clothing. Many of the worlds most famous manufacturing companies also offer lingerie on a made to measure basis, like the French House of Cadolle and Kate Gibson Lingerie. Rigby and Peller are two more very famous lingerie clothiers in London that cater to women who want to provide their measurements in order to find the absolute perfect undergarments to fit their bodies. There are also many companies that have expanded lingerie to include not only bras and panties but also sleepwear and loungewear, which is lingerie that is not necessarily sexy by revealing bodies, but by providing comfortable clothing to lounge around the house in that looks dynamite at the same time. Women today have such a huge selection in lingerie as far as styles, cuts, shapes, colors, patterns, and forms that there are sure to be perfect styles available for any woman. The focus used to be for lingerie that they had to be functional to make a womans body look better, no matter how much comfort it cost her. Today, however, women can enjoy the benefits of having great looking lingerie that is practical, looks great, feels great, and is comfortable all at the same time. There has in the past been emphasis not on the woman fitting into a certain type of lingerie, but for women to choose undergarments to fit to her instead.
