When it comes to what you wear in the bedroom, most women want to make sure that they are up with the latest trends and styles. Lingerie often goes through phases and periods where certain things are more popular than others, and there are a few trends that seem to be popping up in 2012. Overall 2012 in the world of lingerie is all about style and sexiness while still feeling comfortable and at home with your body.
Be Original
Clothing should be a way to express yourself, and lingerie is no exception to that rue. Feel free to wear whatever it is that expresses you. Whether that’s bright and bold colors, a new style, or wearing a top and bottom piece that don’t match, originality will earn you major points this season.
Try a Little Bit of Everything
Both ends of the spectrum are in this year – from simple, elegant, and modest pieces in pastel colors to super sexy bold outfits. Change things up by trying one extreme and then switching to another on a different night. You can also try and mix and match some of these pieces together to see how original you can be.
Spice up the Classics
The classics have their place in 2012, but it’s not enough to just wear the old style. Give a retro style outfit a new breath of life by adding to it or changing it. Many lingerie production companies are doing a twist on the classic, with things like a modest nightie with a plunging neckline, a white babydoll with spots of color or sparkle, and a classic two piece with bright colors and patterns.
Make your Lingerie an Investment
The emphasis is no longer on getting as much as you can for as cheap as you can possibly get it. Instead, more effort is being put into creating a wonderful piece of lingerie that is durable and will last you for quite awhile. Choose your pieces carefully this year. You may not have as much and will cost a little bit more, but you’ll have high quality lingerie that will last you for a long time.
Go Green with your Lingerie
No, not just in color. Many women are striving to be more aware of the environment and their surroundings, and that’s possible with your lingerie as well. Though companies are making it easier to tell which items are eco-friendly, lots of women are choosing to put in their own time and effort to do the research as well. You’ll feel better than ever in your lingerie if you know that you’ve helped the environment, and that will make you look even sexier.
Choose a Medium Shade of a Color
Something becoming more popular this year is a color that isn’t too bright or too muted. For example, a plum color is becoming more popular than bright purple or a pastel lavender. Neutral tones and browns are also in, as are many shades of green and yellow.
And don’t forget to simply enjoy wearing your lingerie, there’s nothing sexier than lingerie to give you some extra confidence this year!
