French Sheer Lingerie

French Sheer Lingerie Details

As mentioned above, French lingerie is meant to make a woman feel like a woman. Not a girl, not a granny, but a pure being of feminine seduction. They use satin, lace, tulle…whatever it takes to bring about a woman's flirty, sexy side. French lingerie ideally brings about a sense of sophistication along with that air of seduction, as that's part of the European ladies' charm.

Purchase Your Own European Luxury

Your ideal European luxury may be a brand new yacht, but for the average woman, French sheer lingerie is a more feasible way to go. And hey, you still get to boost your mood by purchasing and using it, so all is not lost. If you don't know of any specialty boutiques in your area, you can shop online. Here are a few stores to consider:

• Agent Provocateur offers the Bunny, and boy is it sheer! It features black French tulle that leaves nothing to the imagination. For an extra does of femininity, there are silky black side ties on the sides of the full-cup bra. Even though other styles on the site aren't necessarily sheer, they're worth taking a look at.

• Lingerie Studio has a wide selection of lingerie from European designers. Choose from Aubade, Chantelle, Claire Pettibone, Huit and more. You'll find sheer styles to be very popular on this Web site.

• Ascension USA is exclusively French lingerie and swimwear. If you visit their Sexy collection, you'll see loads of sheer styles. The prices are reasonable, too, and are roughly the same as what you'd expect to pay in stores like Victoria's Secret and Frederick's of Hollywood for similar items.

• Sweet Nothings Lingerie has French designers such as Aubade, Chantelle, and Passionata. Browse their lines and you'll most likely find exactly what you're looking for. If you can't, they have custom made lingerie, too.

• Arabesque Lingerie is a boutique offering fine French lingerie. You can find sheer styles such as the Buenos Aires from the Prima Donna collection and choose your mix of bra and panties. This particular style is available in Alaska Blue and Lime Green. If you look at the Lejaby collection on the same site, you'll find a selection of slightly frilled, see-through styles.

How to Wear It

The European woman is confident in herself. She doesn't fuss for hours on perfecting her appearance; she's comfortable in her own skin. French sheer lingerie, if worn under her clothes, can help even the most uptight woman feel a little more in touch with her basic, sensual side.

Since it's sheer, you won't want to wear your French lingerie as outerwear, but it can definitely be layered under a suit, blue jeans or a dress. It'll give you a sense of confidence, sex appeal and maybe even make you a bit more laissez-fare. You really can change your attitude by changing your underwear of choice!

In the bedroom, it's time to flaunt it all—your body and your excellent taste in sophisticated, sexy lingerie. Don't be afraid to parade around the bedroom for your lover. You'll be a beautiful, exotic sight. One thing Europeans know how to do is prolong pleasure; take this as an opportunity to practice!

Wear it for your lover or wear it for yourself—it's up to you. But if you're looking for a luxurious pick-me-up, sheer French lingerie is one way to do it. It's more subtle than going from waist-length hair to a pixie cut, and a bit more flamboyant than going to a new "hip" spot for lunch. Consider it the perfect balance.
