Risque French Lingerie Advertising?

French lingerie advertising always intertwines femininity and sexiness. In doing so, such ads typically contain a beautiful woman wearing exquisite lingerie in a lavish decor, with brands like Aubade often presenting these scenes in Black and White.

Still, the unconventional French Lingerie ad (picture included) will emerge from time to time. For some people, such ads are light and much appreciated, while others, taking the ads literally, consider the ads offensive and in bad taste.

For those of you who aren't French, we offer the following translation of the lingerie "publicite" (Ad): "Take the lingerie set for your lover and the chemise for your wife."

Though unconventional and perhaps even cliche -- "only men have lovers on the side" -- it definitely grabs your attention!

Simply put, this French lingerie ad might be too risque for, and even offensive to, many people in the United States.

Please let us know what you think. Is it too unconventional? Offensive?

French Women & Lingerie

You know how the story goes. French women don't get fat. French women are more sexy......blah blah...

So how do they do it? Keep reading for how French women view lingerie as part of their seduction tool kit.


French Women views on lingerie:

1. Lacy lingerie is an everyday must, not something saved for a romantic rendezvous


2. If your pretty bra strap shows and match your outfit "du jour"..."All the power to you!"


3. If your bra shows a little bit through your blouse...."that might get his attention".


4. French women buy matching panty with their bra...."Mais bien sur" and also tend to buy two panties per bra..."in case you lose one" or just because "panties wear out much faster than bras".


5. French women try to match their lingerie to what they wear.


6. Lingerie enjoys a lofty place in the French woman's wardrobe. So much that Galeries Lafayette, a big Parisian department store has devoted 28,000-square-foot to just lingerie....

So, how about you? What are you thoughts?
