Most design options range from basic as hell to the "quirky" kind for the lack of a better word. It's hard to find fun, playful lingerie that doesn't look too corny or just plain childish. I can't comprehend who is the target of stuff like the farfalle pasta set from Fleur du Mal.Seems like lingerie goes from strictly male gaze oriented - plain black panties and bras with no added details and poor fitting - to some sort of an anti-male gaze kind when it looks just plain ridiculous. That's what I don't understand about this discourse as well, why does everyone pretend men like frilly, lacy and glittery stuff on women, when literally 90% of them are bothered by it and want women to dress as plain as possible? It really feels like they have more if a problem with femininity than with the "male gaze", but just disguise it in progressive language.
