Lolita Flower Chemise

I was looking for something that blurred the line of lacey lingerie and, well, a dress and I think I’ve found it. The world of chemises is one fraught with collagen and open cups, but this type of lingerie can be sensual and classy too. (Even if they did have to sling the word ‘Lolita’ into the name of the garment just so its peers wouldn’t stuff it into lockers and give it a complex.) It’s beautiful actually, as is most of the lingerie Natori puts out.

Electro Chemise

Whilst I’m at it, I’ll also mention the ‘Electro’ from the same family as the Lolita chemise. The Electro is a little more mature and shows a bit more architecture in its construction. It’s certainly one of the most unique chemises I’ve laid eyes on and I’m sure any man who delights in fine lingerie will likewise be entranced by the way his chest is transformed into something quite transcendent and lovely.

You may or may not be surprised to learn that there are people (cross-dressing people) who don’t like the image of Iggy Pop wearing a dress, which was described as, and I quote ‘scary.’ Interesting, no? A community of men that frequently bemoans discrimination contains a section which will quite happily discriminate against itself, like a snake eating it’s own tail.

Yes, like it or not, there are men who want to wear women’s clothing who nevertheless don’t want to see other men who wear women’s clothing – and not because it’s sexual, but because they simply don’t like the way it looks. This is rather akin to a lesbian taking offense at seeing two women holding hands on the street, in fact, it vaguely puts me in mind of the infamous Republican anti-gay crusaders who turn out to be having intimate relations with every man in a five mile radius. Sometimes, seeing something that reflects something we’re not totally comfortable with in ourselves elicits a visceral negative reaction. In fact, I dare say that for some men who like to cross-dress the level of negative reaction to a non-sexualised image of a man in a dress provides a pretty good indicator as to the level of one’s own self loathing.

Of course, that doesn’t apply to everyone. Not all men wear women’s clothing for the same reasons, and not all men who wear women’s clothing wear dresses. I know there are men who only like panties and not much more and who keep such things private and would prefer other men did the same. But (in spite of the name and my own lingerie focused posts) this site isn’t just for men who like to wear panties. This site is for all men who want freedom from traditional dress, it’s for opening minds. It’s not for people to pick and choose what they find personally appealing from the wide world of cross-dressing and try to censor or pour scorn upon the rest of it. The man who wears a dress has precisely the same right to do so as the man who has a pair of panties stuffed in the back of his office drawer, and both will be welcome, and represented here.

This image says it all, and represents one of the reasons I’m so passionate about supporting men who like to wear what is usually regarded as being ‘women’s clothing’ like lingerie, dresses, skirts, etc. Nobody bats an eye when a woman puts on men’s clothing, in fact, it’s often seen as rather sexy. Case in point, Katherine Hepburn wearing what was regarded as being male attire at the time.

I’ll end this little celebrity celebration of crossdressing with one of my favorite images, Tarantino in high heels. What I most love about this image is the way his lower legs and feet look so feminine but he’s traditionally male on the top. It’s like the mullet of crossdressing.

Olga Without A Stitch Microfiber Cheetah Hipster Panty

Olga is a well established name in lingerie for good reason, the material is always silky, the cut almost always full and satisfying. Usually Olga restrains itself to the simple colors and shades like black, white and beige, but with these panties a little of the wild side is revealed. If the cheetah print is too much for you, but you like the panties, don’t worry you can also get them in ‘Butterscotch’ – a clever code name for beige.

TFC Fine Intimates Wonderful Edge Cheetah Panties

These panties have great reviews, but above and beyond that I couldn’t tell whether I was looking at the front or the back of them when I first, second and third laid eyes on them. This pretty much means that you have the opportunity to make it look like your butt is on backwards and I think most people would leap at that opportunity like a predatory cat leaps upon a doe eyed gazelle. Other features of these panties include no panty line technology and silicone stays to make sure your optical illusion panties never ride up. They also come in Zebra, White, Black and Ecru, which is another name for sort of beige.

Honeydew Rainbow Rhumba Panties

We begin with Rainbow Panties, all the colors of the rainbow trapped in frills around your rear, what could be more cheerful? Even the greatest critic of lingerie would have to have a hard heart indeed to not find these charming on some level. Sing along with me! Red and yellow and a slightly darker yellow and aqua marine and purple and blue, I can sing a lingerie rainbow, a   lingerie rainbow too!

Jezebel French Doll Bra

This French Doll bra takes purple to a whole new level. Note the snippets of pink woven in here and there to make the purple pop for more effect, and the satiny pink flashing across the top of the piece that sets the whole thing off in the same way icing sets off a birthday cake. (That’s where the saying ‘the icing on the cake comes from, you know.)  This is a gorgeous piece of lingerie. It’s cut in the balconette style, so it’s perfect for those who don’t have much in the way of cleavage, but who want to feel a pretty bra fastened across their chest.

Passion Sexy Stretch Sheer Mesh Mini Skirt With Sequins Built-In Thong Panty

Representing the green we have this pretty thong that also comes with an attached sheer ‘mini skirt’. If you’re looking for something tropical and super feminine, this really should fit the bill. The thong cut shows off your rear, whilst the mesh skirting subtly hides it, allowing you to play naughty games of peekabo, if you so desire.

Never Say Never Hottie Low-Rise Hipster Panties

What about something yellow? These lace low rise panties are startlingly yellow, and startlingly gorgeous too!

American Apparel Stretch Floral Lace Low Slung Panty

For our final touch of blue, we have these lacy blue panties from American Apparel. They also come in a veritable rainbow of other colors if you’d like them in a different shade. The draw point of these panties is the sheer stretch lace which will shift to accommodate you as you grow and dwindle. If you know what I mean. And you do.

Maidenform Red Polka Dot Lace Hipster Panty

We end with a very sweet pair of red polka dot panties by Maidenform. These should be winners for their hipster cut, touch of lace and bold femininity tempered with a certain carefree charm.

Torrid Plus Size Black Lace Cheeky Short

I had to go deep for something truly naughty and lacey under ten dollars, but these panties by Torrid came through like the champions they are. Gorgeous and revealing, they’re available all the way up to 4XL for $8.50.These panties come in a range of colors, ranging from hot pink to sweet feminine baby blue with stars, to stripy buzzy bee, to polka dot to popcorn theme. There are a lot of panties in this range, and they have a lovely soft whimsical nature. You can even get them in ‘Hello Kitty’ styles if that sort of thing floats your boat.

Olga Secret Hug Panties

I almost added an additional limiting factor of ‘nothing that comes only in white or beige’ (even if it was a little pretty) because frankly, frumpy plain plus size panties are an insult, to panties and the people that wear them. But I made an exception for these Olga panties, because Olga is notoriously allergic to color in all sizes and frankly, these panties are gorgeous and a total bargain at just $5.00.

Avenue Plus Size Rose Hi Cut Panty with Lace

These panties are somewhat of an unknown proposition, but at $8.90 and running all the way up to size 28, they fit the plus size bill admirably. They’re a hi-cut cotton blend panty, and the hi-cut style has always been popular with men who wear lingerie on account of the coverage the cut offers. They too come in an admirable range of styles and colors, perfect for the plus sized panty wearer who wants a bit of choice.

Leg Avenue Lace Garter Belt w/ Matching Thong

Pretty? Check. Pink? Check. Comes with a garter belt, which was also a request on the forum? Check. Under ten dollars? Check at $9.75.

These are brilliant panties for men who don’t want the (social or perhaps spousal) hassle of wearing women’s underwear, and whilst that’s not every man who visits this site, it’s got to be a relief for those who are tired of fighting about what constitutes ‘men’s underwear’. These say ‘men’s’ right on the label.

Even the copy from the retailer is delicious: Your fetish for lace need not go forbidden anymore! The Good Devil Lace Boxer gives the manly lover of lace the same sheer, delicate feeling with a more anatomical fit in the pouch area. Elastic trim around the waist and legs keeps a snug fit that won’t show up under your pants. The stretch lace feels airy and smooth against your skin, and is sheer enough to be both naughty and luxurious.

Good Devil Lace Boxer Panties For Men

Afraid of getting coal for Christmas? What about Wacoal? Ha! I see what I did there. Barely tenable seasonal puns aside however, would you look at these pretty purple lace panties? They’re from the ‘embrace lace’ series by Wacoal and they’re beautiful. There’s the white floral embroidery that makes the waistband its own, and then there are the horizontal beams of pretty, sensual material that give these panties structural integrity. So delightful! The color you’re looking at there is ‘Deep Wisteria’, they also come in Naturally Nude (beige), Fig / Very Berry (one name is not enough), Mocha Espresso (the sort of beige that makes other beige jealous, and Black and white.

See the pretty panties!

Anyway, on with the panties, where my coherency might be greater. These panties are low cut, satin in the back and lace in the front, which is a sensual way to package your, ahem, goods this Christmas. We’re back to Christmas again. Deck your manly parts with delicate lace this season, and celebrate good will to all!
