French Knickers
09.22.2009
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. When in the romantic city of France, pay tribute to the origin of french knickers and wear a pair of these silky panties. An ideal image is of you and your loved one kissing beneath the Eiffel Tower, with you wearing an innocent simple calf length white summer dress. Your one leg is flicked out behind you as your man tips you off balance and draws you near. His one arm cradles the back of your neck while the other supports you at the buttocks, where, even though you're wearing a light summer dress, he can barely feel the silky material of the underwear you're wearing.
That's the beauty about french knickers: they're feminine, light, and elegantly airy. They're so comfortable that you're hardly aware that you're wearing any panties at all.
From their humble beginnings in France as being merely more modern than, and an improvement on baggy Victorian bloomers, these lingerie items were standard lingerie wear, and readily available, by the 1960's. Today they're quite expensive and considered a luxury, but a luxury many sophisticated women will insist on acquiring, and why not when these loose soft shorts are the epitome of femininity?
Classic french knickers now come in all sizes, but still drape loosely down your thigh, usually with a flat band at the waist in the front, and elasticised at the sides and back. They could never be considered as pantaloons, but still hold vintage appeal. Many of these silky lingerie garments boast lacy edging or little bows at the sides, while others are produced for the younger sportier set who like to wear something different, but still cute, for their partners.
Wearing a classic pair makes a woman feel as if she's walking around with her own special secret, a little bit naughty and mysterious, yet still sophisticated. They can be worn under a pair of jeans or loose pants too, making them perfect lingerie for any occasion, whether it be a night on the town with your friends, a candlelit dinner at a fancy restaurant, or at the office.
If you already have, or are going to get yourself a few pairs of these luxurious items, be sure to wash them by hand and store them well. They can be quite expensive, but if you take care of them you will get plenty of wear, and pleasure, out of them. Occasionally step down a bit and sleep in men’s boxer shorts to make your precious lingerie last longer, but, generally, wear them in any country, not just in France, and wear them for whatever purpose whenever you feel like it.
These shorts are sometimes even frilly, and are nothing like the boy's silky boxer shorts that some women choose to wear, and are far more comfortable and sexy. At one time they were associated with mainly ladies of the night and other females with bad reputations, and although that may be seen as an attraction for some women to wear something a little risqué even though not acquainted with any bad reputations themselves, the idea of wearing these panties has evolved into being more about feeling pampered, feeling relaxed, and being a woman who enjoys everything about being a woman.
