LINGERIE TERMINOLOGY: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW IN ORDER NOT TO BE TRAPPED

18 January 2019

Many of us faced with the problem of "deciphering" the lingerie: thanks to modern trends, the fact is that we see fashionable novelties with a no less fashionable name. And more often than not it is hard to understand “who is who.”

Yes, it seems that modern philologists are striving to add new words to our lexicon. Well, it does not matter: we are happy to fill up our vocabulary and get a master's degree in linguistics. At least in the lingerie area:) 

Tank-top Bra

Tank-top bra - this type of bra can be a little bit scary because of its name, but, in reality, we have nothing to fear. This bra is distinguished by its design. Straps cross on the back, which is very beneficial for wearing all sorts of T-shirts. At the same time, straps can be decorated with lace, which, of course, adorns the cruciform back of the bra.

BENEFITS:

  • straps do not slip
  • suitable for all sorts of T-shirts
  • different cups can be used

Triangle

Triangle is a bra model where the straps are made in the shape of a triangle. Yes, these straps are quite massive, but thanks to the lace, the model looks stunning.
