Over the last few years we have seen an increase of the influence of animals in the designs of clothing and clothing accessories. Designers have sought inspiration form the animal kingdom and it has proved popular with the public.
Whether it simply be a pair of leopard print shoes, a Zebra print handbag or a faux fir coat the trend grows and expands somewhat ironically as simultaneously some of the animal species which inspire the creations decline. Many would say though, that it is far preferable to using the real thing.
First thoughts of animal print designs may be of sometimes tacky looking leopard print coats but there are many more styles of animal print and garments available. It can be a more classy than trashy look when the right choices are made.
Animal theme clothing and lingerie takes us back to times of old when we were much closer to nature and lived as hunter gatherers. Even further back than that the first clothes worn in the Garden of Eden were formed of animal skin. Eve was perhaps the first to wear lingerie and animal lingerie at that.
As is often the case with fashion in outer clothing, it impacts on the design of erotic lingerie and we have seen this occur over the last couple of years. The erotic lingerie designers have gone wild with their lingerie creations. If the lady is wild at heart or by nature there will be some lingerie for her but the animal print lingerie may be best avoided by the less confident.
Today, the use of animal print in erotic lingerie accompanies the lady's less subservient role in the relationship and bedroom. Beginning with a dominant look, unconscious though it may be, the lady could be releasing the animal in her. An attempt to get closer to the wilder side of her nature whilst doing what comes naturally.
Erotic animal inspired ranges for 2009 and 2010 have jungle and safari names such as Something Wild, Animal Attraction Wild N Out and Zebralicious. They include Zebra and Leopard print corsets, babydolls, bustiers, camisoles and thongs The underwear will not suit all the lingerie wearing ladies but some will take a bedroom walk on the wild side.
Those wilder ladies should consider there body size and shape to get the most out of the animal print designs. A larger busted lady may prefer a darker print for the top of her body or a lighter print if she so wishes to emphasise this area. A lighter print to the top of the lingerie will also take attention away from a planer bottom half of the lingerie set. Remember lighter prints are more noticeable so wear those to the area you wish to accentuate and a darker colour of lingerie is slimming so wear that to understate other areas.
A nicely fitting, well chosen animal print item of erotic lingerie could look quite stunning.
