Much like Katy Perry with her lyrics about exploring the mouths of her gender and finding the experience a fairly positive one, we like to talk about men who explore the underclothes of the opposite gender and who likewise, find the experience a positive one.
It’s hot, it’s in, it’s men who wear lingerie.
There are many reasons why one might want to secretly buy lingerie. Perhaps it is intended to be a present. Perhaps one is living under a cruel, anti-lingerie regime. Perhaps one simply likes to be stealthy in the way that one makes one’s purchases. A great deal of emphasis is put on being open and transparent in one’s activities these days, so much so that there is little room for the quiet joy of having little secret nooks and crannies in one’s home, mind and soul.
Let me cut to the chase on this one real quick. No. Especially not if you’re a woman, but also even if you’re a man. At least, to my mind at least, the act of simply wearing clothing designed for women does not make a man a cross dresser. Some men wear skirts and lingerie and other items of women’s clothing for no other reason than the fact that they like them. They are not trying to be feminine, they are not trying to pass as women, they are simply men going about their day in skirts or lingerie or whatever pleases them.
Since I have begun exploring the themes of gender and dress, I’ve occasionally received feedback from readers who are disappointed at the breadth of the issues these articles cover. ‘I thought this was just for men who liked lingerie’ is the most common of their refrains.
Men who fall into this category get their panties in a knot every time issues like wearing women’s outerwear or gender neutral people arise.
Lingerie is everywhere. It’s in stores, on washing lines, in launderettes and lurking in the drawers of most every woman you know. It is therefore understandably tempting for a man who is attracted to lingerie to sneak into his girlfriend’s panty drawer and have a secret dress up session. Yes. It’s true. We all know it is true.
You may not be aware of this, but lingerie can breed. One starts of with a reasonable number of bras and panties, but before one knows what is happening, drawers are overflowing with lacy garments, many of which will never be worn. Clearly the problem stems from over breeding in your lingerie drawer. How else could there possibly be so much lingerie? You wouldn’t have deliberately gone out and bought piles of lingerie that you’ve never had the time or inclination to wear, would you?
Lingerie has gone through plenty of permutations throughout its history, and indeed, some vintage lingerie is just as popular now as it was back when it was modern lingerie. In fact, there are plenty of lingerie manufacturers who use vintage styles to create modern day lingerie, but there’s nothing like the real deal. If you’ve never spared much time for vintage lingerie, then you are in for a real treat today with a few pieces I’ve selected from the 1920′s and 1930′s.
Many men dismiss the idea of lingerie sales, often because they think that sales are something that attract silly women, (though the odd deadly stampede on Black Friday seems to be comprised of both male and female bargain hunters,) they also often think that sales are just a trap to get you into the store to spend your money on things you don’t want or need, and they’re sort of right, but a man who loves lingerie and abstains from lingerie sales is a man missing out on a great deal of low cost, high quality lingerie.
Men are some of the most rabid lovers of lingerie in the world, and where do they go when they want the best? Usually, they turn to lingerie designers, people who have dedicated their lives to creating pretty little scraps of clothing that adorn the body in charming ways. Here are a few designers who know how to make red lingerie men will love. (Why red? Well, red is a most excellent color, passionate and intense, and often quite difficult to find in stores that aren’t trying to shove the concepts of Valentine’s Day or Christmas down one’s throat.)
So, as you know, I spend a great deal of time telling my readers how wonderful it is for men to wear women’s clothing, and how much they should indulge their fashion sense to its fullest limits. I do realize, however, that many men who like to wear women’s clothing are very much restrained by other influences in their lives. These influences usually come in the form of women that the men in question want to remain married to or living with.
I occasionally get comments from people who haven’t bothered to read all 1,000 of my hubs that ask if the lingerie I’m discussing can be worn by men, then why it is advertised by women? I imagine they type this with a smug sort of satisfaction, as if they’ve proved some deeper point about the inherent femininity of lingerie. They haven’t, they’ve simply replaced their ability to think independently with marketing. I imagine they also drive by McDonalds chanting ‘have it your way’, and occasionally shriek ‘I’m lovin’ it!’ for no apparent reason whenever they view a larger than normal M.
This saucy little number was available from Elegantly Scant, an independent designer of lingerie that uses silks, cottons, and vintage laces in ways that will blow your mind. Ye gods, how lovely is that lingerie? Hmm? Can we quantify it? Where are the panty scientists when you need them?
