The lingerie revolution - Beauty & Style

Ebony, Feb, 2004

WHETHER you're a CEO, secretary or social worker, you, too, can take a walk on the sensual side with the latest looks in this season's lingerie revolution.

And with styles ranging from subtle to scandalously striking to WOW, you're sure to find an alluring outfit just for you.

One of the major results tit the lingerie revolution is that it has brought undergarments out of the closet and the bedroom, and into the mainstream. Dazzling lingerie can be seen on television, in movies and videos, and on the fashion runways, and it is influencing everyday wear. More to the point, perhaps, men are becoming connoisseurs of lingerie, and some give their wives or special friends lingerie for Valentine's Day.

Perhaps even more important is the fact that women are finding more joy and more appreciation of themselves. A woman's lingerie not only can change what her partner thinks about her but it can also change what she thinks about herself.

Here is a taste of what the lingerie revolution offers: something foxy, something frilly and something fashionable to help you find just the right lingerie that works for you.

Enticing intimate apparel, such as this peek-a-boo Delicates black and red chemise set with thong panty from JC Penney, will make you feel special at home.
