Women's Late Evening Intimate Apparel

Women's late evening intimate apparel encompasses everything from a chiffon babydoll to naughty leather pieces you'd almost never feel right about wearing under your clothes during the day.

About Women's Late Evening Intimate Apparel

Bras and panties can be sexy, of course, but they're also easy to wear under your clothing during the day. That means they're not really women's "late night intimate apparel" instead of simply "intimate apparel," except in the case of open cup bras. Think of pieces you can't really wear under your work clothes—teddies, babydolls, corsets and bustiers in some cases, leather, and so forth. Those are your intimate apparel choices for nighttime.

Satin, Lace and More

Sometimes you just want to enjoy the feel of a fabric sliding across your skin. In those cases, going for understated, feminine lingerie is your best bet at night. This is the easiest type of lingerie to get your hands on, and you can find suitable pieces everywhere from Macy's or Nordstrom to Target or your favorite lingerie boutique. It's easy to shop online, too. If you want intimates made of satin, lace, and other feel-good materials in traditional nighttime lingerie pieces like chemises, teddies, and flirty nightgowns, here are a few sites to check:

• Cosabella: There's a reason this company has been in business since 1984. One of the things they offer is fine intimate apparel in understated styles and colors. Be sure to check out the Ceylon Nightgown. It looks as if it would be transparent, but it isn't. It's made of lace and jersey and has non-underwire cups. They also have teddies, chemises, and even flirty robes your lover would love to see you in.

• La Perla: This site has a section just for nighttime. There, you'll find sexy babydolls with matching thongs, silky nightgowns, and more.

On the More Comfortable Side

Robes can be considered late night intimate apparel, too, though you'll want to leave the huge flannel ones in the drawer. Keep those handy for your more casual nights spent with a book or movie rather than when you have a racy evening planned with your significant other.

At La Perla, you can browse the Dressing Gowns section for a luxuriously sexy twist on the classic robe. They still beg to be touched, so even if you're staying in with your lover, you'll look amazing for them. Dressing robes typically have curve-hugging advantages that keep you looking feminine and delicious while you stay comfortable and warm at home.

Be sure to visit Flirt Catalog, too, for their robe selection. They're substantially less expensive than La Perla and you can get styles like the Glamour Robe, Mesh Robe, Shanghia Robe, and more.

Risque Leather and Costumes

When your fantasies scream for something on the wild side, leather and costume go great behind closed doors late at night. Try Late Night Leather for lingerie-type costumes and all of your leather needs. This is one way to surprise your lover late at night, so if it's too cold to go out, everything is closed, or you're just not in the mood to go to the club, this is one type of intimate apparel that goes amazingly well with staying in. Another place to check out for costumes is Pin-up Girl Clothing. They have a gangster costume as well as a Santa one.

The Bottom Line

Women's late evening intimate apparel isn't strictly one type of lingerie. It goes beyond what you would wear under your regular clothing, but that's about it. If you're more into the retro Hollywood glamour style, you may find yourself lusting for a long, satin nightgown. If you prefer to wear things that say "bad girl" you might find yourself shopping for revealing leather items to wear indoors after the sun goes down. It doesn't matter what your favorite style is, just that you break out of the flannel robe mode and into something more seductive, more intimate.
