The language, trends, and marketing philosophies may have changed, but flirty, seductive lingerie lines still maintain a lacy grip around women\u2019s bodies these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s not to say the industry is at a standstill in terms of originality and inspiration. On the contrary, the surge in online businesses and advances in product innovation have created a shift in the industry over the last year and a half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fewer are the lithe, hour-glass figures that promote the painstakingly designed feminine garments. Online ads emphasizing comfort flood social feeds featuring women of all sizes. Body-positivity is the new byword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trends to Watch in 2020<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Remarkably, too, lingerie has made the unlikely transition from the bedroom to the streets. What was once meant to be worn in the privacy of the boudoir is now increasingly worn openly in bars and dance clubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designers are focusing on self-care, self-image, comfort, and everyday versatility. You never really needed a Penthouse Pet\u2019s body to look and feel sexy and seductive, anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This healthy, optimistic outlook extends beyond industry aesthetics and values. The market for women\u2019s lingerie as a whole is as brisk and robust as ever. In fact, global lingerie sales are expected to hit $325.36 billion by 2025, according to Allied Market research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, below are five lingerie trends that are likely to make a splash this season and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Peekaboo Bottoms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

People were understandably titillated when a pair of Queen Victoria\u2019s bloomers went up for auction some years back. They had a fifty plus inch waist, Her Majesty\u2019s initials, and an embroidered crown on them. They also had an open crotch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to lingerie, even royalty loves a good surprise, especially if it\u2019s wrapped in pretty bows, satin, and lace. “The ouvert peekaboo bottoms<\/strong><\/a> are really popular,\u201d says industry insider and former Journelle CEO Lyn Lewis. \u201cCustomers love the element of playful surprise.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Straps and Laces<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

More than a few observers credit the success of the \u201c50 Shades\u201d entertainment franchise for the popularity of straps and laces in women\u2019s lingerie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While we may rightly attribute some of their current status to Hollywood, designers have been lavishing women\u2019s undergarments with laces and dainty straps since the 1890s.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They will continue to do so this year, fastening seriously sexy silhouettes with buckles, metal eyelets, and satin cords. So, if you want to \u2013 as they say \u2013 \u201ckeep abreast\u201d with the latest, then you should definitely secure a lingerie combination with straps or laces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. The Bodysuit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

They may at times look somewhat similar, but these aren\u2019t anything like the union suits your great grandfather used to wear. They aren\u2019t even like the leotards your mother wore to dance class long before she had you. The latest variations<\/strong><\/a> of the bodysuit are usually a good deal raunchier, more seductive, and stylish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Industry experts say they will make a particularly strong statement in the bedroom this year. And, as now commonly seen in fashion runways, you can also wear them out-and-about with jeans and thigh-high boots for a high-fashion look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. The Bralette<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bralettes rich with lace are testing the longevity of the classic underwired and push-up bra in 2020. Unlike its competition, the bralette offers the rarest of bra pleasures: comfort. The garment doesn\u2019t pinch or dig into the skin. You probably won\u2019t see much cleavage, but the bounce they offer can be just as provocative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey\u2019re innocent and insouciant,\u201d says Elizabeth Cannon, a downtown Manhattan couturier who designs costumes for the Tricia Brown Dance Company. \u201cWhere the functionality of the modern bra is to put \u2018those girls\u2019 in their place, the bralette is up for fun, or adventure or whatever.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Harnesses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Harnesses are a making big statement in lingerie fashion this year, so expect to find them in an even wider array of materials and designs. You\u2019ll see leather, delicate golden chains, satin, and little jewels dangling from the most provocative perches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever your kink, chances are, you’ll look stunning inside and outside the bedroom in lingerie with erotic harnesses. “We always encourage women to explore and try new products and categories,\u201d says Lewis. \u201cA harness can be for the bedroom or can double up as an accessory under a tank or low top.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeping Up-to-Date<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There was a time when women wore lingerie only for special occasions. On most days, they kept the beautiful, sensual, meticulously crafted garments tucked away in the back of a drawer somewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully, that\u2019s no longer true today. These days, women treat lingerie like any other fashion item. And, just as it is with ready-to-wear fashion, trends come and go within the lingerie market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be considering a purchase for the first time, having been too shy to wear anything beyond pajamas to bed until now. If so, the new trends above are a great introduction to a timeless fashion statement and bedroom accoutrement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, if you’re looking for the next best piece in an already extensive negligee collection, then you\u2019ll definitely be wowed by this year\u2019s designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either way, it\u2019s always good to be up-to-date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
