Women's negligees: photos, types: lace, sexy, transparent, more, silk, night, for brides, pregnant women

Peignoirs have appeared in women's wardrobe since the 16th century, but it is a mistake to consider them as outdated clothing. Now they are in vogue: models in this item appear on the covers, and lingerie stores provide a wide selection of negligees.

Peignoir as an element of women's clothing

Peignoir is a woman's home clothing. The photo shows that this thing can be both simple enough and sexy or provocative, and it is not always possible to even say that a negligee is depicted, and not underwear of an unusual design. Often decorated with lace, transparent inserts, ruffles, sometimes bows. The shape varies from a short seductive outfit to a floor-length robe.

This variety was not always, though the garment itself began to develop in modern times on the territory of modern Italy... Then he was a thin robe that was thrown over the shoulders after the girl got out of bed. In it, she did make-up and preparations for dressing up in casual clothes.

Rochetti - this was the name of the predecessor of the negligee - did not restrict movement and protected the shoulders and breasts of Italians from getting unwanted cosmetics. It was not considered indecent to accept a man living in a house in such a cloak.

Gradually, the French women adopted the rochetti, renaming it a peignoir. He became more and more fashionable. Now it is difficult to imagine the hostess of the house who meets strangers in a lace robe, but then it was considered stylish.

Women did not hesitate to pose in them in front of artists, they spent a lot of money on them, because the products were made from expensive fabrics, and the decor sometimes included fanciful decorations. This era gave a lot of interesting design solutions that manufacturers of negligees still use today.

In 1789-1800, the modified rochetti was no longer used for receiving guests, moving to the class of home clothes. A century later, the kimono comes to replace - Japanese clothing, also similar to a robe. The eastern analogue also does not dominate for a long time, the relay is passing to simple and comfortable pajamas, especially popular in World War I and after it.

In the 1930s, the popularity of peignoirs returned again, which continues to this day with a break for the years of World War II and the post-war period. In the 20th century, the now familiar idea of ​​a peignoir is already taking shape: clothes are not for prying eyes, often used as a means of seducing a man or as an outfit for morning preparations, as in the old days.

Interestingly, a peignoir is also called a fabric that hairdressers use to wrap clients.so that cropped hair does not fall on clothes, but now the word is not used in this sense.

Styles, types of peignoirs

Women's peignoirs, the photos of which are presented below, are combined into groups according to several criteria, the main of which are style and fabric.

Styles are developed depending on the purpose for which the girl will wear the product:

1. Pajama type. It is characterized by simplicity, the decor can either be absent altogether, or include a little lace and bows - so the clothes become the most comfortable for sleeping. Another feature is that the negligee is often divided into a top that looks like a tank top and a bottom that is loose short shorts. It is wise to use this style instead of pajamas.

2. Composite negligee. The main part - a small dress - can be either short or long, decorated with a minimum or a large number of details, but the presence of an upper cape always remains unchanged. It resembles a light robe made of fine fabrics.

The cape may even be transparent, but it is her presence that distinguishes this look from the rest. Often it complements the image favorably and hides figure flaws. If you take it off, then the negligee can turn into a different type - baby-dollar.

3. Babydoll, or mini-shirt. The most revealing style, often made of translucent fabrics. This sexy dress is short (usually only covers the buttocks), usually with spaghetti straps. It can come with underwear, although it is more tempting to wear such a model without a bra. Sometimes the shirt is equipped with cups to support the chest.

4. Style of kimono. It resembles a traditional Japanese kimono, but more home style, decorated with ruffles, frills, guipure. This type includes all lightweight and decorated wrap-around gowns with a belt. They can be both floor-length and short.

There are mid-length models that are great for wearing at home in everyday life. Occasionally you can find a kimono peignoir, which is accompanied by loose-fitting pants.

5. Victorian type. With grace and floor-length, it refers to 19th century Great Britain. Now such models are more open, often equipped with a cut from chest to hem, a belt and guipure inserts. A large cut on the chest is also characteristic of them.

How to choose a negligee depending on the fabric

Previously, products were made of velvet, which was not cheap, as it is now.

In the past, it was called a noble material and only wealthy people could afford it.

Now velvet models also exist, but few people prioritize them because of the price and density of the fabric.

Despite its softness and naturalness, it can be hot and uncomfortable in velvet.

Since the peignoir is worn at home, and sometimes even sleeps in it, the fabric should be the most comfortable, not irritate the skin and give a feeling of comfort.

Wherein preference is given to light materialsto make the outfit seem airy and invitingly thin.

The most optimal choice would be silk, but it costs a lot, so it makes sense to turn to analogues:

1. Atlas... Cheaper due to the addition of artificial or synthetic fibers, otherwise a worthy replacement.
2. Chiffon... The appearance meets the requirements of an elegant and intriguing negligee: translucency, lightness, crease-resistance, iridescence in the light. But sleeping in chiffon can be uncomfortable due to its grainy texture.
3. Crepe de Chine... Smooth, dense and durable enough fabric that does not wrinkle. Not suitable for everyone because of the graininess, which can cause discomfort. Unlike silk and satin, it has not glossy, but matte sheen.
4. Satin... It combines silk and cotton threads, which is why it has the appearance of the former and the properties of the latter. It is only an imitation of silk, although it is often found in shirts and robes.
5. Crepe georgette... During production, silk threads are interlaced with artificial / synthetic ones, which makes the finished product cheaper. The fabric does not look as rich as pure silk, but it has many of its properties. It is a little shiny and sometimes translucent, which is suitable for a seductive negligee.
6. Polyester... Products made from this material can be very diverse, but it is not very suitable for a negligee, since it is synthetic, which is not recommended for home and nightwear. From the pros: it is cheaper.

There are also knitted negligees. They are not related to silk, but are popular for their convenience.

Silk

Women's peignoirs, photos of which are presented here, are made of silk.

If the product is purchased with the aim of pleasing a beloved man, then this elegant material should be preferred, possibly with lace additions.

For a negligee, this is the best choice, since the fabric has a number of advantages:

• it is natural and does not cause irritation on delicate skin;
• allows air to pass through, providing ventilation to the body;
• stretches;
• pleasant to the skin;
• wears out slowly and has sufficient strength not to disperse from a jerk or toe;
• when a fire hits, it does not burn, but smolders slowly - not the most important point, but a romantic evening by candlelight will become safer;
• does not electrify itself and does not electrify hair;
• is a poor breeding ground for bacteria, which reduces unpleasant odors from long-worn fabrics.

The main plus is aesthetic: silk flows beautifully over the body and shines. In such clothes, you can both appear in front of your beloved, and sleep or put yourself in order in the morning.

The disadvantages of the fabric, in addition to the price, can also be attributed to special requirements for care. The material is delicate and shrinks when washed, even if the procedure was done correctly. Because of this, when choosing a silk peignoir, you cannot take a tight model, it is better to purchase an outfit "with a margin".

Tips for caring for such a negligee so that it lasts longer:

1. Do not soak or bleach.
2. Hand wash in water at body temperature or in delicate mode, if available in the machine settings.
3. Cleaners should be mild: soap, plain shampoo, or special silk cleaners. Do not use air conditioner.
4. Do not rub with your hands, but rinse.
5. Rinse in cool water. If the fabric is colored, you can add vinegar (1 tablespoon of 9% vinegar in 2 liters of water).
6. Dry naturally, pressing lightly, preferably on a horizontal surface to avoid deformation. You can put it on a towel before that and let the excess water drain off.
7. Iron with maximum iron power and when the fabric is still slightly damp, but without steam.
8. Try not to spray the product with varnishes, deodorants, etc.
9. Small stains can be removed by wiping the silk with a cotton pad moistened with alcohol.
10. A colored silk peignoir can slightly stain the water. It is okay if the item does not fade. Otherwise, it should be returned to the seller.

Jersey

Knitted negligees are soft, cozy and quite dense. Perfect choice for pajama stylealthough babydoll shirts look great in combination with embellishments. It is difficult to find peignoirs for seduction from knitwear, but they are suitable as home clothes, in which you can both sleep and do business if you put on a robe.

Caring for a knitted peignoir is almost the same as for a silk fabricbut soaking is allowed. You need to be careful with a wet product - it is easily deformed.

Atlas

Atlas is an inexpensive material and is suitable for economical housewives. It is not entirely composed of silk threads and is denser, but satin peignoirs are not much inferior to silk ones. They need the same careful care, but they look shiny and do not shrink.

The advantages of satin are similar to silk, but you need to be careful when threads appear on the seam: the satin quickly "crumbles" if there is damage.

Lace

Lace is usually used for decoration, but a negligee can consist of such fabric entirely.

It looks exciting and intriguing, but in practice there are a number of disadvantages:

• lace, both guipure and cord, breaks quickly;
• sleeping in it is uncomfortable.

Sexy transparent models

It is reasonable to buy models made of translucent fabrics with a robeto throw on when needed. Often there are thongs in the kit, and instead of bras, cups for the chest are sewn into the peignoir itself.

Not suitable for sleeping, but a very seductive piece of clothing for a night with a loved one.

Short or long negligee?

The length does not play a major role, the model is more important. A floor-length Victorian cut with the right cutouts and inserts looks just as tempting as a miniature baby-dollar shirt.

The only limitation is convenience, but it all depends on personal preference. Many women choose the golden mean - knee-length negligees.

Choosing a negligee depending on the occasion: for the bride, pregnant women

On the wedding night, the bride should look as she wishes, do not limit yourself to frames and advice. The negligee can both personify innocence and openly flirt with the groom. He shouldn't be too humble.

It's not worth saving on this night it is better to give preference to silk and do not forget about the additions: underwear and stockings... All these items should be in harmony with each other.

Special models have been created for pregnant women. The most comfortable peignoirs with a bathrobe and kimonothat can be adjusted with the belt to fit the abdomen. Victorian models with a cut from the chest are also suitable. The fabric in them will create a train, cover the stomach, but not tighten it.

Beautiful models for obese women

Women's negligees - the photos prove this - can emphasize the advantages of a full figure and hide its flaws.

Often, plus size girls have no problems with small breasts, so you should focus on them with a deep and decorated neckline.

You should not take a very simple peignoir without decorationssince it will look like a bag - this attempt to hide excess weight will only make it worse. Models with lace and transparent inserts that slightly show the body are suitable - this will set a playful tone and show that the woman is not complex.

If the cut to the floor is chosen, then it will be decorated with a cut stretching the figure. There should be a moderate amount of such parts. Too tight models and an abundance of straps that will dig into the body will not work.

Choosing a negligee by color

The surrounding colors affect a person's mood. This applies not only to the color of wallpaper and curtains, but also to clothes, including linen and negligee.

If the kit is bought only for yourself, then here the shade depends only on the woman's preferences. But if you are planning to appear in front of a man, then you should think about which color to take, because everyone signals something, symbolizes something and adjusts in a special way. It affects the human nervous system, which is proven in books and studies, for example, by the psychologist B. A. Bazym.

Plain products are most often found, the most popular of which are:

• black;
• red;
  

  

• white.

The black

Black color visually makes you slimmer and makes the partner understand that the woman is restrained on the outside, but is ready to meet halfway if the man takes the first step. This is a hint that the partner is not against some experiments. She intrigues, flirts, wants to be sought, and promises an interesting pastime with the right approach.

Black is also associated with languor, graceand also, if you choose a model without softening details (bows, ruffles, etc.), with a little roughness in bed. Suitable for both confident girls and modest ones, but who want to give a signal for action.

White

White is the color of charm and innocence, but this does not mean that a man cannot be seduced in a white negligee. Most of them are attracted to femininity and defenselessness.

This color is also suitable in the case when the partner is nervous. White demonstrates lightness, carelessness and softness, which will help to relax a man.

In terms of appearance: white accentuates the tan.

Red

Red is an aggressive color, the color of war and blood, as well as passionate love. Good for arousing, seducing, and a call to action, but you need not overdo it.

Too bright a shade will tire the eyes, and in everyday life such an outfit will be inappropriately provocative. It is best to wear a red negligee for special occasions.

Other colors

Women's peignoirs (photos are presented later in the article) are sewn in other colors, many of which also look good:

• Pink - a shade of tenderness and comfort. These negligees are good for sleeping and morning routines. This also applies to models with flowers.
• Purple royals have always preferred, so this kind of negligee is suitable to play a dominant role in front of a man.
• Violet - it is red mixed with blue, so it excites, but at the same time keeps a little at a distance. A woman in such a negligee must take one step herself.
• Brown the color is elegant and calm, it suits girls with any figure. Chocolate shades look expensive.
• Yellow are rare, because they are not very suitable for home clothes due to excessive brightness and irritating properties. It is better to give preference to gold with a warm orange tint, giving a feeling of joy and cheerfulness.

• Blue and green have a calming effect. Their light shades are suitable for sleeping, but deep blue and emerald ones emphasize the figure and look rich. You can spend the night with a man in a negligee of this range.
• Cream the color is similar in psychological effect to white, only a little more homely and comfortable.
• Gray negligees are good for sleeping, although some transparent models can please men.
