Lingerie Glossary: A Guide to Styles, Fabrics & Fits
Understanding lingerie terminology can make all the difference when choosing styles that suit your shape, comfort and confidence. From delicate lace pieces to bold, statement designs, this guide breaks down some of the most common lingerie terms to help you shop with ease.
🖤 Popular Lingerie Styles
🖤Bodysuit / Catsuit
A one-piece design that combines a top and bottom, often crafted from lace, mesh or stretch fabrics. Bodysuits are designed to contour the body, creating a smooth, flattering silhouette. 
🖤Babydoll
A short, loose-fitting style that flows over the body, usually paired with matching underwear. Babydolls offer a softer, more romantic look while remaining comfortable and easy to wear.
🖤Chemise
Similar to a babydoll but typically more fitted, a chemise skims the body and is often made from lightweight fabrics such as satin or lace.
🖤Teddy
A more structured one-piece style, often featuring cut-outs, plunging necklines or strappy details for a bold, figure-enhancing look.
🖤Bodystocking
From classic fishnet designs to more intricate, patterned styles, combine seamless fits with soft, stretch fabrics that contour to your body
🖤 Fabrics & Materials
🖤Lace
A delicate, decorative fabric often used in lingerie for its elegant and feminine appearance. Lace can range from soft and subtle to bold and detailed.
🖤Mesh
A lightweight, semi-sheer fabric that adds breathability and a modern, minimal look.
🖤Satin
Known for its smooth, glossy finish, satin offers a luxurious feel against the skin.

High-shine materials designed to mimic the look of latex or vinyl. These styles create a sleek, sculpted appearance and are often featured in more daring or statement pieces. Explore styles in our wet look collections for a bold, high-impact look.
