We talk a lot about how boudoir is so much more than just beautiful photos of yourself- it’s an experience that will empower you and remind you that you ARE that beautiful, strong, and confident woman. Taking that idea a step further, I want to talk about how lingerie itself is so much more than pieces of lace for us to wear! Lingerie has such an interesting history in women’s empowerment. From those corsets that form and mold your body to more flowing and natural designs, lingerie has come so far from it’s original role. Instead of just underwear, has transformed to an unapologetic celebration of womanhood. It is now a tool for embracing your sexuality and decorating your body in a way that truly honors it.

So let’s take a moment to see how lingerie has shaped, and been shaped by, the ever-changing landscape of female empowerment!

Starting from the beginning, the word ‘lingerie’ is just another word for undergarments- specifically women’s. Corsets, bras, underwear, stockings, those under-dresses that seem ridiculously heavy, all lingerie! Back when it originally was created, it was solely for functionality and modesty- to support, shape, and cover. Fast forward to the 1920s and we start to see clothing in general get looser and more revealing, which is a trend that lingerie followed.

As clothing trends continued to evolve through the decades, lingerie was always included! The sexual revolution of the 60s and 70s brought an entirely new mindset to bodies and how we adorned them, the 80s and 90s broke the mold for style and creating a new world of fashion, and now fast forwarding to today where we see people wearing bodysuits with jeans as everyday clothing. Lingerie has become a world of it’s own- a world of inclusivity, empowerment, and celebration of bodies in all of their diverse beauty.

Lingerie’s transformation from practical undergarments to a symbol of empowerment and glamor is truly a testament to its transformative power. Who could forget Madonna's iconic cone bra, her absolutely owning it as a statement of her sexuality and strength? Or the way "Sex and the City" revolutionized the idea of lingerie as a form of self-expression, something for EVERY woman?

These moments are not just little clips in the history of fashion- they are bold declarations of lingerie's role in fighting society’s “ideal person” views and embracing your sexual side without judgment. They remind us that lingerie is not just what lies beneath. It's a statement, a stance, a whisper (or shout) of one's identity.

Another beautiful thing about the transformation of lingerie is the message that it is growing to send to our future generations of women. Brands today are not just selling cute matching bra/panty sets. They're championing causes, breaking barriers, and creating communities. They celebrate EVERY stage of womanhood, advocate for body positivity, and encourage women to love and embrace their bodies as they are.

This is where the true beauty of lingerie shines brightest—not in the silk and satin, but in its ability to make women feel seen, valued, and powerful. Whether it's through designs that cater to every body type, campaigns that shatter beauty standards, or initiatives that support women's causes, lingerie is a vessel for empowerment, a reminder that every woman deserves to feel confident, liberated, and beautiful.

So the next time you see that beautiful lace bodysuit, or a bit of leather catches your eye, remember that it’s more than just underwear. These garments tell stories of struggle, liberation, and empowerment. They are invitations to explore, embrace, and express our true selves, our sexuality, and our unapologetic beauty at every stage of life.

So, to every beautiful woman reading this: let your lingerie be a choice of empowerment! Let it be a way to connect with your inner self, to celebrate your body, and to step into your power.
