THE SYMBOL OF COLORS IN LINGERIE
This way, we're talking a bit about fashion… And especially lingerie! One of the essential components in terms of "fashion" is of course color! We know, the materials, the cuts are also very important ... But, more seriously, what first catches our eye? The colour !
If it is, the colors that we like and that we wear, are perhaps an indicator of our personality?
Did you know that our sensitivity to certain colors rather than others depends on our tastes, but also on our character and our values?
Based on the work of Michel Pastoureau and Dominique Simonnet, Le Petit Livre des Couleurs, published by Éditions Points in 2014, we present the main colors and their meaning ...
The colors all have a meaning, it's time to find out which one!
BLUE, THE FAVORITE COLOR OF WESTERN LINGERIES
Blue is THE star color. Widespread and discreet, blue has been the favorite color of Westerners in terms of lingerie, and this for several centuries. Symbol of the sky and the sea, blue reassures ... We even gave him the flags of Europe and the UN, that’s to say! Yet long rejected, this color is omnipresent today. Combined with religion, politics and economics, you can't miss blue. It is, however, a rather discreet, conventional and comforting color.
But it can also be very sexy! Associated with lace and transparency, blue can become a real asset of seduction. In addition, this color goes to all women! Blonde, brunette, dark ... whatever the color of hair, skin or eyes, blue is always a safe bet!
RED, FEELINGS AND EXTREMES
Red is the opposite of blue. Far from being nuanced, red is a proud color, which asserts itself and exposes itself. It is also a color with a heavy past, both love and passion but also crime and violence ... In the red, hides a form of duality. Over the centuries, red has become the symbol of power, then passion, and ambition. It is also a so-called "rich" color, that is to say deep and often a symbol of opulence. In addition, in our daily life, it is often the color of the prohibition, signs, lights, indications of possible danger, etc.
But red is also sexy, fiery, and intense! All women should have a set of red lingerie in their drawer. In addition, it seems that if we wear red underwear on New Years Eve, it will bring us good luck for the new year. What are we going to try?
Our advice? If you are blonde, opt for shades of cherry or burgundy red, preferably dark ... Are you of Asian origin? Favor flashy reds, this is the shade that will highlight your mine. Do you have black skin? You can wear any shade of red! From orange to dark red, everything suits you.
WHITE, PURITY AND INNOCENCE
White is a color that is popular in most cultures around the world. It always symbolizes purity and innocence. But it is also a color that has a hard life ... Because it is always asked to be "whiter than white". White is a color with a very stable symbolism and very present in history.
It tells of birth, marriage, freedom, and sometimes death for certain cultures ... And it has strong meanings. Symbol of peace, innocence, virginity, light, white accompanies us throughout our lives!
In lingerie, white is refined, delicate, dark and elegant. Symbol of bridal lingerie, white can be very sexy, especially if you play with its transparency. However, you are not taught anything, this color remains very very delicate! So we think of taking care of it and we prefer hand washing for these pretty immaculate underwear.
BLACK, FROM MOURNING TO ABSOLUTE LUXURY
Black is not as black as you might think ... Already know that perfect black does not hesitate. It is always a very very dark gray because perfect black can only exist if there is no light. Then, although still associated in the West with mourning and despair, black also represents elegance at its peak! Black is the most ambivalent color. Both associated with children's fears, or with religion, black is also linked to wealth, fashion, sophistication, and seduction!
A great classic for lingerie drawers, black undersides are always a sure bet. Daily or for a special evening, you can not go wrong by betting on a set of this color.
So… Are you more blue, red, white or black?
