Black Lingerie: Sexy and Mysterious

Black is one of the most popular lingerie colors. It is sometimes referred to as the "Ultimate Dark". Black lingerie was not always so popular. Until somewhere around the 1920's, lingerie was primarily white. Around that time it made a slight shift to other colors such as light pastels. These lighter colors were immediately embraced by women everywhere and eventually led the way to the plethora of colors we now enjoy.

The color black has long been associated with the night. Black is the absence of color. In clothing, black is visually slimming. Black, as well as other darker colors, can make a space appear to shrink in size and even a brightly lit room can look very dark when there is an abundance of black. An example of a common type of black lingerie is leather lingerie.

The form and vision of the female silhouette has been an alluring presence throughout the ages and is still used in many ways today to entice and arouse. The silhouette is enticing in the way that lingerie is enticing. The silhouette is pleasantly appealing like fine lingerie, showing enough to please your mind, but not too much, thus leaving room for your imagination to fill in the blanks with your own unique and erotic thoughts.

Sometimes defined as the negation of color, black can be conservative as well as radical. It goes well with almost any color except the very dark. It can also have conflicting connotations. It can be serious and conventional as well as mysterious, sexy, and sophisticated.

When in the presence of black, other colors can appear brighter. In most Western countries black is the color of death and mourning. In most Eastern Countries white is the color of death and mourning. Among the young, black is regularly viewed as a color of rebellion. Black can be both positive and negative. In early Westerns the good guy wore white while the bad guy wore black. But later on good guys wore black to lend an air of mystery to themselves.

Be careful using black with very dark colors. It can work, but if the colors are too dark, they tend to blend together. Black works well with bright colors and jewel-toned shades of red, blue, and green. Black is the most intense dark color and makes lighter colors such as yellow really come out at you. Photographs often look brighter against a black background.

These words are synonymous with black or represent various shades of the color black: Midnight, jet, charcoal, onyx, ink, obsidian, ebony, sable, coal, soot, raven, and lampblack.

On one side, black can represent style, formality, power, elegance, sophistication, wealth, mystery, and modernity.

On the other side, black can represent fear, death, evil, anonymity, mourning, sadness, remorse, unhappiness and anger.

Regardless of how it is interpreted, black sexy lingerie continues to play one of the most dominant roles in lingerie fashion today.  Mike Harader

Tips on Buying Thong Underwear

Once again spring break is here. You will want to be wearing skimpy shorts, bathing suits and minis. Do you have the right thong that goes well with your outfits? If you don't it's time to read these tips and get yourself a thong!

What is the reason for sporting a thong? People often prefer to wear a thong during their spring break.  There can be a number of reasons for this. They go well with the skimpiest outfit you may wear. If you do not have a bathing swim suit with you, you would prefer a thong to full panties that are boring. Comfortable thongs can make you feel very sexy.

How do you find the perfect thong for you? Check these tips.

Get going to your favorite mall. Don't buy your first thong online if you are embarrassed to shop for one. The retail shops of Victoria's Secret or Frederick's will offer a wide selection of thongs. Department stores often offer a cheap selection of thongs in their lingerie departments.

Pick a thong style that you like. As the coverage goes, there are different kinds of thongs. A G-string is the skimpiest of thongs, having no waist band and providing the least coverage. A T-string gets its name from the wide waistband that forms a T-shape in the back. A V-string has a wider coverage than a G string, even though it has no waist band. The thong that offers the most modesty is called a tanga and tends to be the best of the lot for swimming. It offers more coverage than a bikini, but is still quite revealing.

Test it out. Thongs aren't exactly the picture of comfort. When you look at buying a thong, make sure you're choosing one that fits you properly. A good thong should not just look good, it should fit well and not feel itchy while you are wearing it. A good rule of thumb is if it is not comfortable and feels scratchy the first time you try it then it's going to feel scratchy the next time you wear it too. You should talk to the sales attendant to determine the best way to test a thong. Many stores won't let customers try on thongs because it would be unsanitary. I think you understand why.
 

You should not keep lots of thongs. Once you're in the lingerie shop, you won't be able to stop yourself from buying several thongs. You don't want to be stuck with a lot of things you aren't comfortable wearing. The best way to decide if a thong is right for you is to buy it and wear it all day. Only then will you be able to return to the shop and purchase some more.

Now you know all about thongs, get shopping and enjoy spring break!  Jacquie Generra
