The Lace Thong: Scanty, Erotic And Chic

It would not be wrong to assume that the original thongs were the loincloths that were worn many thousands of years ago. Over time, this item of wear has slowly but surely evolved and today it has taken the shape of a modern thong. In the beginning, it was in fact worn mainly by men though with evolution it has now become the favorite lingerie wear of women today. The earliest loincloth users were the Egyptians who used to wear leather loincloths.

Dress Better!

The thong first came to be used publicly (according to certain sources) in the year 1939 when dancers who wore very little were instructed by New York’s Mayor to dress more correctly. However, the lace thong seems to have been developed much later and a fashion designer by the name of Rudi Gernreich is believed to have introduced it in the year 1974. Dancers from Brazil, especially the belly dancers who cavort about during major Brazilian festivals, quite commonly wear lace thongs.

The lace thong is an offshoot of the popular and scantier thongs that were worn during the eighties by South American belles. The nineties saw a wider acceptance of the lace thong, especially in the United States and it was during this time that exotically designed lingerie items were also becoming more mainstream.

Today, the lace thong is one of the best selling items of women’s sexy lingerie and it is widely being worn in all corners of the world. It is also a major contributor to the earnings of the big lingerie manufacturing companies that together make up the approximately two billion dollar lingerie industry.

Designers are now going overboard in creating flamboyant as well as very exotic lace thongs and these items are in fact quite unrecognizable from those that were worn in yesteryears. Today, the lace thong is very erotic, minimalistic as well as quite chic. It is usually worn by women who wear extremely tight fitting jeans or pants who don’t want any panty lines to be visible that will ruin the looks of their sexy rears.

To take personal appearance to a whole new level of sexiness, many women today are also turning to wearing thong panties. In fact, today many celebrities have endorsed and popularized the lace thong and among famous names you can include names such as Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Toni Braxton, as well as many more other equally well-known celebrities.
