Lingerie for women

What counts as lingerie?

Lingerie is more than just everyday underwear. It includes items such as lace bras and knickers, lingerie sets, bodysuits, corsets, suspender sets, negligees and babydolls. Open-crotch lingerie, designed with specific areas left open, also falls into this category. Depending on the cut, fabric and design, lingerie can look elegant, playful, understated or particularly seductive. The style that suits you best comes down to your personal taste.

Which lingerie suits my style?

It depends on what makes you feel comfortable and the look you want to achieve. Delicate lace and intricate details create an elegant, playful look. Sheer fabrics add an alluring touch, while wet-look designs make a bold statement. If you prefer something a little more daring, you could opt for open-crotch lingerie or a suspender set. You don't have to stick to just one style: explore different designs and discover what you like.

Which lingerie suits my figure?

Lingerie should fit you – not the other way round. Bodysuits accentuate your silhouette, corsets draw attention to your upper body, and high-waisted knickers create a different shape from skimpy thongs. Adjustable straps and fastenings can help you achieve a better fit. What matters most is that you feel comfortable in your lingerie. Explore different cuts and try out styles that suit your personal taste.

Is sexy lingerie available in plus sizes?

Yes, ORION offers lingerie in plus sizes too. Depending on the style, the range includes different clothing sizes and cuts, from lingerie sets and bodysuits to knickers and other types of underwear. When choosing your lingerie, check the size guide for the individual product, as the fit can vary depending on the cut and manufacturer. This will help you find styles that suit your preferences and feel comfortable to wear.

What is open-crotch lingerie?

Open-crotch lingerie features deliberately open sections. For example, open-crotch knickers have an open gusset, while open-cup bras have cups that leave the breasts exposed. Bodysuits, tights and other lingerie items are also available in these styles. Designs range from subtle openings to more eye-catching details. The style you choose is entirely up to you.

What's the difference between a lingerie set and a suspender set?

A lingerie set usually consists of matching pieces, such as a bra and knickers, sometimes complemented by additional accessories. A suspender set typically includes a suspender belt or integrated suspenders, along with matching stockings and often a bra or knickers. The exact combination varies from one style to another. It's therefore worth checking the product description to see exactly what's included.

How do I find the right size for my lingerie?

To make sure your lingerie fits well and feels comfortable, it's worth taking your measurements before placing an order. For bras, your underbust measurement and cup size are particularly important. Depending on the cut, bodysuits, corsets and lingerie sets may also require your bust, waist and hip measurements. Our size guide provides helpful measurements to guide you towards the right size. Be sure to check the individual brand's sizing information, as sizes can vary between manufacturers and styles. If you're between 2 sizes, the product information and relevant size guide can help you decide.

How do I care for my lingerie?

Always follow the care instructions on the label or in the product description. Delicate lace, fine mesh fabrics and intricate embellishments often require particularly gentle care. If necessary, use a laundry bag and avoid high washing temperatures if the care label advises against them. Corsets and styles made from special materials, such as wet-look fabrics, may have specific care requirements. Following the recommended instructions will help preserve the material, shape and details for as long as possible.

Can I wear lingerie under everyday clothes?

Yes, many lingerie styles can also be worn every day. Simple bodysuits, for example, can be styled as tops under a jacket or blazer. Seamless knickers and matching bras can also work well under fitted clothing, depending on the cut. Lace details can look particularly striking when deliberately allowed to peek out from beneath your outfit – for example, the sleeves of a long-sleeved bodysuit or delicate lace visible at the neckline. This lets you add subtle, sophisticated touches and make lingerie part of your personal style.
