Black is one of the most popular lingerie colors. It is sometimes referred to as the "Ultimate Dark". Black lingerie was not always so popular. Until somewhere around the 1920's, lingerie was primarily white. Around that time it made a slight shift to other colors such as light pastels. These lighter colors were immediately embraced by women everywhere and eventually led the way to the plethora of colors we now enjoy.
The color black has long been associated with the night. Black is the absence of color. In clothing, black is visually slimming. Black, as well as other darker colors, can make a space appear to shrink in size and even a brightly lit room can look very dark when there is an abundance of black. An example of a common type of black lingerie is leather lingerie.
The form and vision of the female silhouette has been an alluring presence throughout the ages and is still used in many ways today to entice and arouse. The silhouette is enticing in the way that lingerie is enticing. The silhouette is pleasantly appealing like fine lingerie, showing enough to please your mind, but not too much, thus leaving room for your imagination to fill in the blanks with your own unique and erotic thoughts.
Sometimes defined as the negation of color, black can be conservative as well as radical. It goes well with almost any color except the very dark. It can also have conflicting connotations. It can be serious and conventional as well as mysterious, sexy, and sophisticated.
When in the presence of black, other colors can appear brighter. In most Western countries black is the color of death and mourning. In most Eastern Countries white is the color of death and mourning. Among the young, black is regularly viewed as a color of rebellion. Black can be both positive and negative. In early Westerns the good guy wore white while the bad guy wore black. But later on good guys wore black to lend an air of mystery to themselves.
Be careful using black with very dark colors. It can work, but if the colors are too dark, they tend to blend together. Black works well with bright colors and jewel-toned shades of red, blue, and green. Black is the most intense dark color and makes lighter colors such as yellow really come out at you. Photographs often look brighter against a black background.
These words are synonymous with black or represent various shades of the color black: Midnight, jet, charcoal, onyx, ink, obsidian, ebony, sable, coal, soot, raven, and lampblack.
On one side, black can represent style, formality, power, elegance, sophistication, wealth, mystery, and modernity.
On the other side, black can represent fear, death, evil, anonymity, mourning, sadness, remorse, unhappiness and anger.
Regardless of how it is interpreted, black sexy lingerie continues to play one of the most dominant roles in lingerie fashion today. Mike Harader
