Bodystockings: Sexy Lingerie for Many Occasions

Body stockings are intimate apparel and gorgeous outerwear in one garment that is misunderstood and under used as a fashion accessory. I wear them year round to a number of occasions, especially work, as well as out to dinner, the movies, and yes the bedroom. Every wardrobe should have at least two or three body stockings, and the more you wear them, the more you will fall in love with them. A body stocking is a versatile article of lingerie, that is similar to a leotard which is a snugly fitting, stretchable one-piece garment with or without sleeves that covers the torso, worn especially by dancers, although body stockings are more feminine, and sensual in design and feel.

A body stocking usually has full length legs, but it may have long, short, or no sleeves. Body stockings are made in closed crotch or crotchless. It is usually made from a sheer fabric similar to those used for stockings and tights, or from fishnet and lace material. Some body stockings are designed to be worn as outerwear, but others are strictly for the bedroom, usually because they are too revealing to be worn out, but can be functional as outerwear with the right bra, or jacket. The versatility comes from its intimate use in the bedroom to its use at work or play under a blouse, sweater or all alone.

Body stockings make terrific gifts, as they are one size fits most, and are on the inexpensive side, so you can hardly go wrong. Since sizing is almost effortless, and remember they are made in plus size as well, the effort needs to go into the material and style. For the most part body stockings come in four materials, sheer, lace, opaque and fishnet, or a variation of these materials. For instance many will come in a combination of opaque and sheer styles for added drama.
