Sexy nightwear - lace intrigue

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.

A lot of men and many women fancy the look and feel of leather. When you think about wearing leather, often the first thing that comes to your mind is trousers or biker. But have you ever thought about wearing leather sexy lingerie? If not, you should, because this type of underwear is probably the sexiest and the most desirable of all kinds available.

Leather lingerie is seductive to such an extent that it can instantly turn you in a bombshell and your partner into submissive fan of your sexy outfit. By wearing leather lingerie, you can shock him yet excite showing the other side of you. One of the most desirable sets is a leather bustier matched with a leather thong.

Lingerie is meant to make woman look attractive for her partner, and most importantly give a degree of self confidence by making her feel irresistible. Sexy lingerie styles serve a lot of aesthetic functions much more than any other undergarment so lingerie is a great choice when you are looking for intimate apparel for wedding night, honeymoon, or unforgettable weekend.

A woman is only at her best when she’s feeling attractive and confident. Many women don’t take advantage of sexy lingerie to help them always feel this way. Whether you are at your office or out at a club, you can layer some hot intimate apparel beneath your clothes to help you feel sexy and sensual at all times. Of course, different locations call for different types of lingerie.

Office Jobs

You may be surprised at what you can get away with at an office as far as lingerie is concerned. A chemise made of silk or satin feels great against your skin and can also provide a nice accent to your standard work blouse. Combine that with some panties also made of a silky material. While no one else will be aware of what you’re wearing, you’ll be able to feel sexy and comfortable. Plus, if you want to meet up with your man once you get done, simply swap the blouse for a stylish jacket and let your sexy chemise poke out at the neck. It’s a very simple and sexy look.

Manual Work

More and more women are getting jobs in typically masculine fields such as auto repair. With these jobs it’s hard to feel sexy since you’re somewhat restricted in your wardrobe options. Still, you can squeeze in a little something sexy in there. A simple tank top combined with boyish shorts and fun bikini bottoms should do the trick. This combo makes it easy to switch back into girl mode when work is done – just swap your work pants for a hot little skirt and you’re there.

A Night with the Girls

When you want to tear up the town with your ladies, then you might as well girl it up to the max. Since you’re among friends, this is a good time to try something a little bolder than the usual. Of course you don’t want to look tacky, so make sure you wear enough clothes over your sexy lingerie. A sexy corset or a bustier can make a great top – wear a jacket over it to keep things tasteful.

A Big Date

There’s always a big ritual for women before an important date. They pick out dozens of different outfits then end up scrapping all their ideas and starting over at least twice. Since you’re agonizing over it anyway, you may as well throw some sexy lingerie into the mix. You never know – a push-up bra might just bring your whole outfit together. Velvety materials are also a good choice here. They naturally make you feel more attractive and sensual, and provide a tantalizing hint of things to come for your date.

Holidays

A holiday is all about having fun and feeling good. Sexy lingerie goes right along with those things, but you have to be careful here. Some lingerie is very high maintenance – you have to wash it by hand after wearing it and store it carefully so it doesn’t get bent out of shape. That’s a boring way to spend your time off, so try and find some lingerie that is a bit rougher and tumble. Getting that perfect balance of sexy and sturdy is a task in itself, but worth the effort.

While there are so many styles of sexy lingerie to choose from, it’s impossible to find a style that is optimal for every scenario. Just consider the options carefully each time you go shopping, and you’ll find that picking the right lingerie will become easier every time.
