Tips on sheer lingerie
When and what to wear if you want to go sheer

Picture of a woman wearing a black sheer top that covers the private area but leaves everything else. The brunette, holding a cocktail in her hand, looks seductively as she knows that she is being watched by everyone at the party. Amanda in Jacksonville, Florida, a 23-year old Executive Assistant in a real-estate office asks, "I love to wear sheer lingerie and I have a huge collection of them - bras, panties, babydolls, teddies, and slips. Now I am in a serious relationship and am wondering if there are any etiquettes for wearing seethrough lingerie."

Since lingerie is an innerwear, women have a lot more freedom in wearing what they really want. In most cases (particularly if the innerwear does not get exposed), you can literally wear anything. Things get a little complex, however, once you have to undress in front of others. This may happen, as in the case of Amanda, in front of someone you have an intimate relationship with, or for some women, in the locker room of a gym or similar other situations. Not all women like the idea, particularly if they are not completely bare down there. (Related: Celebrities lingerie)

Based on our research, here are a few things to keep in mind when using sheer lingerie:

Men perceive sheer lingerie slightly differently than other lingerie. It sends a more direct message to men. So dress accordingly. If you are ready to send a strong message of seduction, wearing an item of sheer lingerie is a great way to do it.
A lot of sheer bras many a times lack the support that a bra should provide. Therefore, while wearing a sheer bra once in a while is fine, to get the right kind of support on a daily basis, you must choose a bra that does a great job providing support.
Sheer bras also do not provide enough privacy to you. You know very well what happens to a woman when she walks into a cold building wearing a thin, silky top. So if you are going to wear a blouse or top like that, it is best to wear a thick bra or always have a jacket on hand.
It is also possible to buy sheer panties and thongs these days and they are quite popular. The same rules apply: they are not appropriate if you are going to be changing clothes in front of a bunch of female colleagues or at a gym, but may be perfect to seduce your partner.
