Overview

One reason for the growth in this category is some people are using underwear as outerwear, he says. They are wearing things like pajama bottoms, exercise bras, camisoles and thermal tops as street wear, he says. \"This is extremely acceptable in the younger generations' minds. We have gotten to the point where underwear is no longer intimate -- it's all part of the casual wardrobe.\" Many don't want to feel their underwear at all because they don't want it to distract them at work. Some older women said they wanted underwear that \"pulls everything in, a joke her participants made,\" [Tsaousi] says. The kind of underwear that people buy as gifts for [Valentine]'s Day is \"usually quite tiny and uncomfortable, and women may not wear it very much if at all,\" Tsaousi says. It's better to buy items that are nice and fit the woman's body.
