The perfect nightwear style

If she can be wild, go for a piece of daring erotic lingerie, if she’s the shy type, think of something humble and slightly more comfortable.

If the latter, try an exotic, kinky set of women’s lingerie. If you have problems deciding or differentiating between different styles of women’s nightwear, here is a brief explanation.

If you look for the shorter versions, ask for a negligee or a daring sexy babydoll.

Chemise – A short, slimming piece of sexy lingerie, which is worn either as nightwear or instead of a bra. Chemises are often made of silk, but there are less or more daring options when it comes to fabric.

Have you ever considered a lingerie party instead of a night out to let the steam off? If you’re a busy woman, you probably haven’t, but you should know that this is a fun and enticing way to try out some tasty pieces of sexy lingerie and learn more about sheer underwear. Also, such parties are a chance of meeting new people and are perfect for several occasions, such as birthday or hen parties. But before you decide to host such an event, you should know how to get started. Here are some useful tips.

At the very beginning, you should decide whether you want a party where every guest brings some erotic sheer lingerie, or if you’d like to invite a professional lingerie party organizer to help you. You can find one online, and make sure that you take some time to look around the website carefully. You’ll want to know the charges for the service and check whether door prizes are provided. Look for some opinions or recommendations concerning the organiser you want to choose. If you decide to hire a lingerie party consultant, it will let you just relax and enjoy your night, provided that you work with them earlier to determine the details – types of underwear, colours and whatever you want to highlight during the event.

Once you’ve chosen a company to manage the party, you can be sure they’ll take care of sheer lingerie gallery (they usually bring their own), samples for your guests, catalogues and an agenda for the whole party. Now, you should think of the guest list. Probably you’ll want to invite only the closest friends. Still, many people make a bigger guest list, inviting all their colleagues. One thing you should remember is that your potential guests’ tastes may differ. Also, you never know if someone’s going to be intimidated or even offended when you propose a game or lingerie they consider too risqué. To avoid such situations, you’ll want to invite those whom you know well. The most casual way to send invitations is via email or simply by telephone. You can also just hand them out in person.

If you’ve hired a regular lingerie consultant, they will take care of door prizes and party favors. They don’t have to be too expensive – sexy t-shirts, small sets of cosmetics or adult toys are perfect. Also, your party organiser will probably have some ideas concerning the games that you can play during your party. If not, or if you’re organising it on your own, just try not no go overboard and plan something that is rather short and includes all of your guests. Prepare some funny prizes that match the erotic lingerie theme and aren’t too obnoxious as to offend anyone. If you have a party consultant, why not take part in the games yourself?

Remember that your guests should feel comfortable and be provided with everything they need. Consider preparing some food. It doesn’t have to be a whole meal snacks like crisps and dip, salads or fruit are enough. Think of something to drink – for an elegant touch, choose wine or champagne, but make sure non-alcoholic drinks are there as well. Also, remember about the atmosphere and play some songs that will make a perfect background track for the party. Think about some dance tracks for times when party goes off-track or after the lingerie fun is over. Also, remember that when the party is over, there’s a great opportunity to reconnect with your girlfriends. If you have room, why not go back to the high school times and turn the party into a sleepover? You can gossip, watch a film and try on your new sheer lingerie.

Ladies’ nightwear and erotic lingerie is big business these days and there is a wide range out there to choose from. There are numerous styles, materials and colors so that every woman could find one that is just right sexy lingerie for her taste. Almost every woman owns a small sexy nightwear collection with pieces for any occasion – a daring chemise for a hot date or comfy pajamas for a sleepover with her girlfriends. With so many intimate apparel styles available, it’s hard to believe that there were times when there was actually no choice when it came to sexy nightwear and that specialised ladies sleepwear is a relatively recent invention. Provided here is a brief history of ladies’ nightwear.

Chemises

The beginings of the chemise can be traced back to the ancient times, when tunic-like garments were usually worn. Still, it was not until the Middle Ages that the chemise began to be used as a form of women’s underwear (an not only woman’s…). Still, we should remember that, in that times, chemises were used as a protection from sweat and body oils. Also, the chemise used to be the only garment washed regularly. Both men and women wore it for sleeping – they simply took their outer garments off and slept in their chemises. In the morning, they would put their clothes back on.

Negligees

The Negligee was the first example of widely worn ladies’ nightwear. The very first negligee was introduced at the beginnings of the 18th century in France and back then it served a strictly utilitarian purpose. Similarly to the gowns of the era, it was long and the material was heavy. The negligee kept pace with different dress styles and, thus, in the 1920s they mirrored the short satin cocktail dresses, popular at that time. Being shorter and made of a lighter fabric, they were sexy, but not as sexy nightwear and to seduce was not their purpose. The negligee was designed to be worn as a sexy piece of underwear only shortly after the World War II.

Nightgowns and nightshirts

The nightgown and the nightshirt developed from the earlier chemises early in the 20th century. The nightgown are long and heavy, especially when compared to the sexy chemise or the negligee. They are often made of cotton or flannel. The nightshirt is a very simple, thigh-length plain shirt. Dorm shirts are a more recent form of women’s nightwear. They often feature a slogan or an image of a cartoon character and are often worn for modesty and comfort in communal living environments, preferably by teenagers and young women. On colder nights you may want to use this somewhat sexy nightwear with longer shorts or pajama pants.

Pajamas

The original pajamas’ roots can be traced to the 17th century in Asia. Within the following century, missionaries from Britain had adopted this style as sleepwear for males. Soon it became a popular alternative to nightshirts for men and boys in the UK. Pajamas as nightwear for women in the Western Europe became popular much later. Although they had been available decades before, pajamas began to outstrip traditionally sexy nightgowns in sales in the 1980s. Until today, pajamas are a popular style of men’s and women’s nightwear and they are available in a wide range of styles, colors and fabrics. Teenagers and young adults like to wear pajamas pants with a T-shirt, tank top or even a more daring upper piece of other sexy underwear, which is an interesting alternative to traditional pajamas.

Other styles

As a matter of fact, almost anything can serve as ladies’ nightwear as numerous pieces of traditional underwear can be turned into pieces of sexy lingerie. Any piece of clothing – your favourite tank top or your boyfriend’s T-shirt or even a see through babydoll – can make you comfortable in bed. Still, many women like to wear silk or sheer lingerie for its sexappeal and the lxurious feeling. It is good to have your favorite comfy pajamas as well as a sexy chemise within reach, because you never know how you are going to spend the night.
