Just remember elegant lingerie means simple.

Colour is a very important thing to remember as it is  known to send a message to our brains and have an effect on our moods and reactions.  Romantic lingerie should be  various tones of red, pink, purple or  blue.  Of course the most romantic colour is red,  think of 12 red roses, love hearts  and valentines day. Two colours definitely not suited to romantic lingerie is green and greys. Green signifies mothering, grey is dull and provokes no reaction at all.

Material is perhaps the biggest decider.  PVC, leather, cotton are all a definite no no  when it comes to Elegant lingerie. Silk however screams romance  and it is definitely a winner. If you like lace then more importantly apply the first two rules of style and colour first.
