The first thing that comes to mind when thinking about what to wear to a lingerie party is skimpy lingerie, right? Think again! There are plenty of options that are sexy and chic without being too revealing or risqué́, ensuring you’ll fit in with the crowd but still stand out on your own without feeling overdressed or out of place. Read on for five great tips for what to wear to a lingerie party!
1) What Is A Lingerie Party?
A lingerie party is like any other party—except everyone’s in their underwear. These parties originated in Berlin (where, apparently, everyone already wears very little clothing) but have spread throughout Europe and are starting to catch on here in America. If you’re interested in attending your first lingerie party, there are some important things you should know—especially if you want to dress appropriately. Whether you’re throwing or attending a lingerie party, knowing what type of outfit will be appropriate can be tricky. In order to make sure that your event goes as smoothly as possible, it’s important that you think about every detail beforehand and plan accordingly. Don’t worry!
2) Why Not Just Go As Yourself?
First of all, if your party is anything like I imagine it is, no one will be dressed up in their regular clothes. It’s a lingerie party! If you show up in your normal duds, you’ll definitely stick out. Next time, at least wear something that shows off your fun side. In my experience, people feel much more inclined to play when they can get into character—and it helps ease those awkward feelings. You could even go as everyday sexy and wear something that makes you feel like someone else (maybe add some red lipstick!) Just go with what feels good for you—everyone else is doing just that!
3) Don’t Overthink It!
Overthinking your outfit for a lingerie party can be stressful and will probably result in you spending way too much time trying on outfits that don’t fit properly or simply look bad. That said, you do want to make sure that whatever you choose fits well and is comfortable enough to dance in. But don’t spend more than 10 minutes thinking about it; just pick something! After all, if it looks great on, feels awesome and makes you feel sexy, what else matters?
4) Do A Little Planning…
A lingerie party requires a bit more preparation than your typical event. For starters, you’ll want to think about what you’re going to wear. A sexy dress is always flattering, but if you really want an excuse to show off your undergarments, why not select something daring? Pick one of these styles and accessories that express your personality
5) The Best Things To Wear Are…
The first step in figuring out what to wear to a lingerie party is knowing what type of lingerie party you’re going to. Are you attending one of those fancy-schmancy, formal affairs where everyone’s dressed in heels and slinky black dresses? Or are you more of a raunchy sex-party type who likes going commando and wearing only a thong? If it’s not immediately obvious from your invitation, ask your host. It will help her (or him) tailor activities and attire accordingly. If all else fails, here are some easy rules to follow: Stay away from labels. Fancy lingerie can look cheap on anyone but professionals with perfect bodies—or naked models with perfect bodies.
