5 Reasons You’re Never Too Old For Sexy Intimate Wear & Some #ShararatAtEveryAge

Ladies, we’ve all been there. On a shopping trip with our mummy and maasis to buy sexy nightwear and lacy lingerie for our honeymoon trip. This moment of peak awkwardness is considered almost a right of passage in every 20- or 30-year-old bride-to-be. But, come the second year of marriage, once the suhaag raat and pehla saal are over, all our intimate wear ends up in the back of the cupboard. Almost like a shame closet. Kisi ko mil na jaye—what would they think?

And as you grow older, the shame and awkwardness of buying and wearing sexy intimate wear grow with you. You’re too old, you think; your partner will say it looks silly, you think; your body isn’t as in shape, you think.

Well, stop!

The truth is you’re never too old for sexy intimate wear and lingerie. In fact, it’s considered an integral part of a new category of clothes known as ‘dopamine (mood-elevating) fashion’. Pretty intimate wear is said to be great for your mental health and is a key form of self-love and self-care, both of which contribute toward you ageing happily, and healthily.

5 Reasons You Should Wear Sexy Intimate Wear—Age No Bar!

1. With age comes confidence and also, knowing your body better: While physical transitions are inevitable, what’s also true is that as you age, you become more confident. You’re like fine wine—well-rounded, bubbling with personality and filled with a clear idea of what you bring to the table. Now that you finally know what looks good on your body and flatters your shape, what better time to buy intimate wear that fits well, and makes you look and feel your best?

2. You need all the support you can get (pun intended): Let’s face it, as you age, gravity can take a toll on your body. And if things are going south, high-quality intimate wear and lingerie can help provide the support and lift you need, so to speak. So while in our 20s, intimate wear and lingerie may be just about looking pretty, we forgot they have functional advantages, too—advantages that a 40, 50, or 60-year-old body could benefit from.

3. It sets the foundation for the rest of your outfit: If what you’re wearing as the first layer over your skin is ill-fitted or unappealing, chances are that the rest of your outfit isn’t going to look that great either. Quality lingerie sets the foundation for your whole wardrobe, in a sense. Right from the fit, the cut, and even the mood of your outfits—sexy, comfy, cute, naughty, formal?

4. Intimate wear isn’t just for your partner, it’s for you, too: As stated before, intimate wear is now considered a form of self-love and self-care. It could be that the feel of silk on your skin makes you feel pampered, or that the cut of the baby doll dress makes you feel cute, or even how a printed shorts-set becomes the perfect outfit for some weekend me-time. Gone are the days when pretty intimate wear was reserved for honeymoons, Valentine’s Days, and anniversaries. Wear it for you; invest in it as a way to invest in yourself. 

5. News flash! Sexy is not a shape or an age, it’s an attitude: Do you want to know why dopamine fashion is all the rage? It’s because your mood and confidence can make a huge difference to your perceived attractiveness. If you’re comfortable in your skin, age and shape no bar, those around you will be able to feel that sexiness exuding from within you. And there’s no quicker way to get into a ‘sexy state of mind’ than by wearing pretty intimate wear and lingerie. Even a matching bra-and-panty set can do wonders for how you feel when you look at yourself in the mirror.
