Women's panties The word lingerie is a word taken directly from the French language, meaning undergarments, and used exclusively for more lightweight items of female undergarments. [3] The French word in its original form derives from the French word linge, meaning ' linen ' or ' clothes '. [4] Informal usage suggests visually appealing or even erotic clothing. Although most lingerie is designed to be worn by women, some manufacturers now design lingerie for men. Lingerie can be made from various materials, such as cotton, silk, lace, or synthetic fabrics, and can come in many different styles, colors, and patterns. Some lingerie is designed to enhance or shape the body, while others are meant to be more decorative or erotic in nature. Ladies wear lingerie as undergarments or sleepwear. When you go the department store, instead of asking, “Where do you keep the underpants?” you could say, “Will you please direct me to the lingerie department?”
