One of the essential components in terms of fashion is of course the color! The colors that we like and that we wear, do they not reflect our personality? Based on the work of Michel Pastoureau and Dominique Simonnet, Le Petit Livre des Couleurs, published by Éditions Points, we present the main colors and their meanings...
The colors all have a meaning, it's time to find out which one!

BLUE, THE FAVORITE COLOR OF WESTERNERS IN LINGERIE

Blue is the star color. Versatile and discreet, blue has been the preferred color of Westerners in lingerie for centuries. Symbolizing the sky and the sea, blue brings comfort and assurance. It even adorns the flags of Europe and the UN. Although considered conventional and comforting, blue can also be incredibly sexy. Associated with lace and transparency, it becomes a seductive asset. Moreover, blue suits all women, regardless of hair, skin, or eye color. It's always a safe bet!

RED, EMOTIONS AND EXTREMES

Red is the opposite of blue. Bold and proud, red doesn't shy away from making a statement. It carries a heavy historical baggage, representing both love and passion, as well as crime and violence. Red embodies duality. Over the centuries, it has become a symbol of power, ambition, and passion. It's also considered a "rich" color, deep and often associated with opulence. In our daily lives, red often represents prohibition, danger, and warning signs. However, red is also sexy, passionate, and intense! Every woman should have a set of red lingerie in her drawer. Who knows, wearing red underwear on New Year's Eve might bring good luck for the upcoming year. Why not give it a try?

Our advice? If you're blonde, opt for cherry red or burgundy tones, preferably darker shades. Are you of Asian origin? Go for flashy reds to enhance your complexion. If you have dark skin, any shade of red will suit you!

WHITE, PURITY AND INNOCENCE

White is a universally beloved color across cultures. It always symbolizes purity and innocence. However, white has a tough life as it's always expected to be "whiter than white." It carries stable and significant symbolism throughout history. It represents birth, marriage, freedom, and sometimes death in certain cultures. White symbolizes peace, innocence, virginity, and light, accompanying us throughout our lives. In lingerie, white is refined, delicate, somber, and elegant. As a symbol of bridal lingerie, it can be very sexy, especially when played with transparency. However, as we all know, this color requires delicate care. Hand washing is recommended for these pristine undergarments.

BLACK, FROM MOURNING TO ABSOLUTE LUXURY

Black is not as dark as it seems. True black doesn't exist; it's always a very dark gray because perfect black can only exist in the absence of light. Although associated with mourning and despair in the West, black also represents ultimate elegance. Black is the most ambivalent color. It's associated with childhood fears and religion but also with wealth, fashion, sophistication, and seduction! Black lingerie is a timeless classic. Whether for everyday wear or a special occasion, you can't go wrong with an ensemble in this color.

So... are you more inclined towards blue, red, white, or black?
