Naughty lingerie: Wicked styles for the good girl
Peek-a-boo bras and crotchless knickers are not just for the bad girls anymore.
Naughty lingerie is now becoming as common as the regular panty, thanks to “not-so-seedy” lingerie shops that dared to bring risqué into the light. Women now have more access to naughty lingerie, and the choices are more exciting than they’ve ever been.
Agent Provocateur is one such naughty lingerie store. Its London shop has an opulent interior inspired by the bedrooms of 18th-century royal French courtesans, as if to reverberate its ode to decadent boudoir glamour. It’s collection of black French lace over red satin with decadent velvet trims, plus stretch silk satin and champagne mesh cut outs are coveted by women the world over. Its naughty lingerie are mostly lined with Chantilly lace, and its coveted accessories – the famous dominatrix whips – are trimmed by Swarovski crystals.
But all naughty lingerie shops – high-end or moderately-priced – seem to share a common tagline: sexy fun. More and more women now appreciate the humor and appeal of naughty lingerie designs.
Naughty lingerie is more often given to others as gifts, especially on bridal showers. Probably the most popular choices for naughty lingerie gifts are white bead and lace wedding thongs with musical detachable hearts which when squeezed churns out the melody to "Here Comes the Bride." But women buy for themselves, too. The few daring ones go for the cupless chocker bras, but it’s become common for the ordinary woman to go into a naughty lingerie store to buy buckle front and lace-up thongs to spice up lingerie drawer.
Naughty lingerie has expanded its collections onto seamed stockings, even footwear like fluffy mules. Some “sadomasochistic humor” accessories like leather collars and masks now also flank naughty lingerie stores. These “risqué” garments are no longer coyly discussed: they’ve now become popular fashion topics, if not fashion essentials.
The future of naughty lingerie seems promising. With more and more designers creating fun and sexy designs for all ages and price ranges, the choices for naughty lingerie – and the fun it brings – will continue to multiply.
