The French have coined this category of women’s clothing, which mainly involves undergarments, sleepwear, and lightweight robes made of light, smooth, decorative fabrics, such as silk, chiffon, satin, charmeuse, Lycra, and, of course, lace. From its conception at the beginning of the 20th century, the word itself became associated with appealing and even erotic clothing, which later helped establish one of today’s most prolific branches of the fashion industry. Guys, don’t worry! Although most lingerie is designed for women, we also boast a selection of men’s underwear designed to turn the masculine heat up a notch, too.
