The increasing popularity in lingerie has caused another new trend in lingerie -  exotic clothing. This can look like the outfits worn by exotic dancers performing in adult clubs, or it can be fantasy outfits that a partner chooses. Though traditional lingerie is made of sheer lingerie fabrics, or transparent lingerie fabrics, like lace or chiffon, exotic clothing is designed to reveal the figure in new and unusual ways. There are micro mini skirts, vinyl chaps with matching bras, bikini shorts in animal prints or woven materials. Exotic Clothing hides exciting parts of a woman’s body or figure, while revealing a great deal of it all at the same time. Exotic Clothing is sexy and intriguing and its popularity is increasing.

While sheer lingerie and transparent lingerie pieces do appear in exotic clothing collections, these items are generally things such as stockings, tiny skirts attached to belts, or the cup area of a bra or bustier. Exotic clothing uses a lot of animal prints, shiny and stretch fabrics, vinyl, and also a lot of delicate fabrics like polka dot cottons, lace and marabou feathers. Unlike other, more traditional, lingerie collections exotic clothing outfits will also frequently include unique and unusual footwear, including extremely high heels, sexy lace up boots, and spiked heel pumps.
