Silk chemises are quite possibly the most popular of all chemises. Chemises, of course, are the slip-style nighties that all women adore. Silk chemises are particularly well-liked for their slinky quality that makes them ideal for sleeping in. They slide and move with you, never getting miserably twisted around your body when you roll over.

Chemise is the French word for "shirt." No one knows love and romance like the French. Chemises were even being worn in ancient Greece and Roman. And we all know the Greeks and Romans were way ahead of their time!

The camisole is a variation of the chemise. It's similarly shaped, but much shorter. A camisole is a lot like a tank top, but much fancier and delicate. Camisoles are an essential part of any woman's lingerie collection. But did you know that they're also a wardrobe essential as well? Camisoles are absolutely perfect for layering. Paired with a blazer they can go anywhere. Their satiny feel and feminine detailing can make the plainest sweater pretty. In a solid color like white, black, or pink, you'll find endless ways to wear your camisole.

Like the camisole, the chemise itself has also become a fashion trend in its own right. Women have started wearing flirty slip dresses over a pair of jeans. If you want to achieve the look without buying something new, pull your favorite chemise out of your drawer. It's a cute, fun look for lunch with your girlfriends or an afternoon of shopping.

You can buy a chemise in any color your heart desires. Chemises also come in lots of fun patterns. Of all the types of lingerie, chemises are definitely available in the widest variety of printed fabrics. Animal prints, like leopard and cheetah, help get you in touch with your wild side, even if it's buried deep. Looking for something a little sweeter? Try a chemise with hearts or flowers.

So we now know that chemises are sweet, fashionable, and great for pajamas. Now it's time to explore the chemise's place in the world of hot lingerie. In the market for naughty lingerie? Buy a sheer, see-through chemise. To wear something with a bit of a tease, try a chemise with a satin bust and a sheer bottom that reveals a matching thong.

Hot lingerie should reveal just the right amount of skin in just the right places. You can find chemises that show a bit of cleavage or chemises with a plunging, low-cut front. To show off your toned, sexy back and shoulders, buy a chemise that's ultra low-cut in the back. Criss-cross straps up the side are a surprising, different way to be revealing. For the ultimate in naughty lingerie, wear a chemise that starts under the bust. It's perfect for the times when you want to hold nothing back.
