eisguptas asked: Traditionally, underwear or undergarments are used in 1) protecting the outer apparel and the wearer and 2) providing support to certain body parts. But some types of lingerie not only serve these purposes. They are also made and worn due to their aesthetic appeal. It is not surprising then that the term
sexy lingerie has come about.
Some of the most common types of inner wear or underwear have their
sexy lingerie counterparts. This means that aside from the traditional designs of the lingerie, there are changes made, such as in material or overall design, to turn them into
sexy lingerie.
This change is said to have began in the 1920s, during Women’s Liberation. It is noted that
sexy lingerie became even more popular sometime in the 1960s and the 1970s. The designs are described as bolder and during the 1980s, underwear became outerwear. This is what the French refers to as dessous-dessus, which means "innerwear as outerwear." Such types of
**** lingerie usually have accents such as colorful straps, lace trims, or ruffles.
An example of traditional underwear that has become a type of
sexy lingerie is the baby doll. The name may have been derived from the dresses worn by infant dolls and the infants themselves. The baby doll worn by adult women are often made of sheer material so that the brassieres or panties are visible. In fact, some stores sell baby doll with matching brassieres and panties and often include this in their special collections.
Another type of
sexy lingerie are brassieres. For example, cupless bras do not have cups or support cups. They are only made of the regular frame. Because of this, the ******* become more exposed or visible. A variation of the cupless bras is the Peephole bras, which have support cups and holes at the tip to expose the *******.
Perhaps the most well-known
sexy lingerie is the thong. Aside from the traditional thong, other designs include the G-string, V-string, T-back, C-string, dance belt, cheeky, and string tanga. Most thongs are made from cotton, satin, silk, and nylon.
