Men’s Favorite Lingerie Colors
I remember when I was in high school, my mom refused to let me buy some red high-heel shoes. Her reason? In her mind (as well as my father’s I later discovered) a woman walking around in red high-heeled shoes was considered a ‘woman of the evening,’ a ‘call girl,’ a woman with low morals. Needless to say, this was news to me. And, look how things have changed. I frequently slip on one of my many pairs of red-heeled shoes for a fun pop of color. And I’m not alone. All the fashion magazines have woman parading around in red shoes. It’s the new black!
So, we just finished Valentine’s Day. Red, without a doubt, is the color of this holiday. I think if you polled most women, they would say that men love red lingerie. We at HerRoom sold a bunch over the holiday. But, according to a recent British survey most men do not like red lingerie. In fact, the color came in last as the sexiest lingerie color. What a surprise!
According to this survey, black is men’s favorite color of sexy lingerie. Coming in second is white. Now, I find this very curious because neither black nor white is really a color. So, this feeds right into the hand of another statistic, and that is that many men are color blind. If you were wearing red, they may not have even known it! It probably looks grey in their eyes.
Next Valentine’s Day, do yourself a favor if shopping for a fun little valentine outfit for your beloved. Pick black or white. Not only does he prefer it, but it can be used over and over again throughout the year. Consider it lingerie recycling.

One caveat: it’s a “British” survey; notoriously the worst lovers in Europe, lol. I would like to see a French or Italian survey. From this male’s prespective, reds are great and so are blues, greens, golds and prints. Black is my favorite every day color.

I love red! Black and White are boring! Get a confident man and he will want to see you in red!

Actually I prefer to date women who wear red lingerie as I find black and white colored lingerie rather boring.

My man loves black, and doesn’t care for pretty details like lace trim or bows — he finds these “distracting.” But, obviously I’m not dating him for his taste in lingerie. I buy what I love, and if he happens to like it too that’s great; if not, who cares? It’s all going to come off in the end anyway!
