Black Satin Panties

From LoveToKnow Lingerie

Black satin panties, though not quite as versatile as their nude counterparts (don't wear them under white pants!), complement just about anything in your lingerie wardrobe. Also, they're widely available so shopping's easy.

Wear Them with…

You can wear black satin panties with just about anything. Got a bright pink bra you didn't buy matching undies for? It doesn't matter. Slip into your black ones. Just make sure the material's similar for the best results. Try not to wear a dull cotton bra with your satin panties, for example.

That sort of nearly haphazard pairing goes with all types of lingerie. You can wear them with almost any corset, bustier, cami, or garter belt. Want to look sexy just lying around the house with your significant other? Slip into an oversized white button-up shirt, button one or two buttons in the middle, and leave your black panties to peek out.

Black Satin Panties: The Styles

Let your imagination run wild. Black panties are easy to find in general, and adding the "satin" specification doesn't slow them down too much. You can find black satin briefs very easily, but you should also be able to find the following styles online and in brick and mortar stores. Black satin's racy, but not so racy that non-specialty stores won't carry it:

Boy short/boxer styles
G-strings
V-strings
Thongs
Hipsters
Bikinis

Get Them

You can get black satin panties almost anywhere lingerie is sold. Styles will vary from store to store depending upon the "mood" of their lingerie. Here are a few online sites to check for your perfect pair. Since they're so easy to pair with almost anything, why not pick up multiple pairs in more than one style? By viewing sets, your quest for relatively simple black satin underwear may turn into a wild time for your lingerie wardrobe. Prepare to be tempted to buy things you never intended to buy (but you'll love them when you do)!

Satin and Spice in the United Kingdom has a style you may not find in many shops—French Knickers in Midnight Black Satin with Black Rose Detail.

Victoria's Secret has a material called Second Skin Satin®. Within that collection, you'll find high-leg briefs, bikinis, hiphuggers, v-strings, and thongs.

Fredericks of Hollywood, as usual, is a winner when it comes to black satin. You can find satin panties individually sometimes, but most often they come as part of a set. Try the Cami & Short Set.

When you're lingerie shopping, Amazon is probably not the first place to cross your mind. Redirect your thinking, though, because they have a surprisingly good selection. You can find satin low rise bikinis, soft satin low rise thongs, satin and lace boy shorts from Maidenform, sinfully satin crotchless panties, and more!

Lauren Silva offers partially satin panties in black. Check out the:
- Satin and Lace Hi-Cut Brief Style 5021
- Elila Satin & Microfiber Pantie Style 3307

Don't forget department stores like:

You can even shop those in person if you prefer. That way you'll be able to feel the fabric before you purchase. Since black satin can be made from blends of nylon, rayon, polyester, acetate, cotton, or silk (rare), the way the panties feel may vary. All "satin" isn't exactly the same.

Summary of Black Satin Underwear

Do feel free to stock up, simply because you can wear them with almost anything except thin, light-colored pants. They will complement almost all of the glossy/shiny lingerie in your wardrobe, no matter what the color.
Don’t forget to branch out into all types of styles. Everything from boy shorts to thongs comes in black satin. You just have to know where to look.
Remember that all satin isn't created equal, so if you're especially particular about the feel of your panties, you should try to shop at brick and mortar stores or at the very least, check the return policy for the online sites you're considering. Chances are not good that they'll be very lenient with panty returns.
To avoid getting black satin you do not wish to wear based on the feel, educate yourself on satin materials you do and don't like. That way you'll be prepared to shop online without too much risk, even if the return policy is not what you'd like.
