Underwear & Nightwear
Introduction
Underwear, also called "undergarments", or sometimes "intimate clothing," are clothes worn next to the skin, usually under other clothes. Some clothing is specifically underwear, while T-shirts and some shorts are suitable as underwear as well as outer clothing. One of the criteria for shorts not to be suitable as outer clothing may be that it has a fly that avoids exposure of the skin just by an overlap of cloth, without buttons, etc. In addition to keeping outer garments from soiling, undergarments are worn for a variety of reasons: warmth, comfort and hygiene being the most common. Undergarments are often used for modesty or erotic display; sometimes both of these motivations are simultaneously present. Now, underwear manufacturers began marketing printed and colored garments. What had once been a simple, white piece of clothing not to be shown in public suddenly became a fashion statement. The manufacturers also experimented with rayon and newer fabrics like dacron and nylon. Women's undergarments now to emphasize the breasts instead of the waist. The decade saw the introduction of the bullet bra, which featured pointed cups. Meanwhile, some women readopted the corset once again, now called the waspie for the wasp-shaped waistline it gave the wearer. Some women began wearing the strapless bra, as well, which gained popularity for its ability to push the breasts up and enhance cleavage. Nightwear, also called "sleepwear", is clothing designed to be worn while sleeping. It is generally worn otherwise only in the company of those one knows well. Some people do not use nightwear at all, preferring to sleep nude or in some kind of underwear.
