Why men attracted to lingerie?
Men are different in there own ways, but when it comes to eyeing a woman the sexiest outfit that clicks their mind has to be a sexy lingerie. Men are creatures who love mystery, excitement, and tease generally known as the MET Factor.
A man finds these three combinations best when he sees a woman in lingerie. Men love those outfits that give a female body the girlish flare and that is why they turn up to a woman in lingerie. The seductive drive to a man is revealing outfits showing a portion of the skin they are not accustomed to.
Lingerie shows off enough skin while not revealing the secrets inside giving the feel of ultimate mystery and excitement. Women feel to be more feminine and sexy wearing lingerie. That gives them to figure out the passion and charm they have not yet discovered or been afraid to show before.
Men like visualizing things when it comes to sex. The desire to have a sexual encounter builds up in their mind when they see a woman with revealing outfits and a woman in lingerie has that perfect combination.
They start imagining stimulating images in their mind looking at the woman with those outfits and the desire of having sex takes on a peak when they come to have a sensuous touch of the material.
Panties
Women's panties have their origins in the 1920's when bloomers (long underwear) became shorter and looser as the flapper look came into fashion. The panties of this time were called step-ins.
Bra
In 1913, a New York socialite named Mary Phelps Jacob changed women's fashion forever when she cobbled the first brassiere together by tying two handkerchiefs together with ribbon. Jacob's original intention was to cover the whalebone sticking out of her corset, which was visible through her sheer dress. Jacob began making brassieres for her family and friends, and word of mouth soon spread about the garment. By 1914, Jacob had a patent for her design and was marketing it throughout the United States. Although women had worn brassiere-like garments years past, Jacob's was the first to be successfully marketed and widely adopted.

First pics of Victoria Beckham for Armani and Katie Holmes for Miu Miu
Shots from the new Armani lingerie campaign featuring Victoria Beckham were unveiled today. Miu Miu also released images of its latest campaign featuring Katie Holmes.
Victoria Beckham is reported to have been paid £12 million to appear in the Armani lingerie ads for the next three years.
Victoria Beckham’s husband, footballer David Beckham, starred in the Armani men’s underwear campaign last year, which resulted in a huge uplift in sales of the brand at department stores.
Polka Dots
Black and white polka dots, whether ditzy or large, was another trend that straddled both the lingerie and swimwear collections and it was largely favoured by the younger end of the market. In swimwear, polka dots were seen across bikinis rather than one-piece swimsuits, but there was no distinction in sizing between lingerie and swimwear collections, with both opting for large and small prints. Most brands opted for two-colour combinations and co-ordinating trims, while more adventurous labels added prints, floral motifs and bows to the mix. Although the polka dots were either white or black, background shades were predominantly red or pink.
Purple
Mirroring autumn 07's womenswear trend, the lingerie market has added purple to its autumn 08 colour palette. Every shade goes, from delicate lilac embroidery and deep, shiny aubergines, to soft lavender and rich plum.
Blue
Not content with dominating spring 08's swimwear trends and spring 07's lingerie collections, blue is back this season but with bolder, brighter and more varied shades. Unlike its pink counterpart, blue hues have found their way into both lingerie and swimwear collections and have stuck to colour blocking as opposed to mixing it up with prints. Turquoise was a key choice within swimwear, which kept designs simple, while lingerie braved a mixture of tones, from violet to baby blue. Tone-on tone embroidery, sheer fabrics and bow detailing added interest to the lingerie collections.
Pink
Last year's favourite – yellow – has been replaced by pink this season, which has set the tone for a much brighter colour palette. Reserved largely for lingerie collections, pink was picked up by most brands. Coral pink was the definitive favourite across most trend-led brands, while younger collections opted for hot and lobster pink shades. Labels targeting an older customer toned it down by using pink as an accent colour, mixing it up with bows and floral embroideries. Although colour blocking was widespread, brands spruced up their collections with contrasting lace or prints borders.
