Sexy Lingerie

Lingerie is a expression for women's fashion undergarments. It derives from the French word 'lin' for linen. While the vocable in the French language applies to all undergarments for either sex, in English it is applied only to those women's undergarments designed to be visually appealing or erotic, chiefly incorporating materials such as Lycra, nylon (nylon tricot), polyester, satin, lace and/or bluestockings and not applied to functional cotton undergarments.

The lingerie industry dud expanded in the 21st century with designs that double as outerwear. The French refer to this as 'dessous-dessus' which basically means innerwear as outerwear. The booth Faire Frou Frou, which is an antiquated phrase meaning "show it off", heralds this philosophy Sexy Lingerie by categorizing lingerie as an accessory with details such as straps and lace trim that should be layered and shown as factor of one's outerwear.
