Let's face it, lingerie is not for the woman wearing it, it is for us guys.
Are we referring to lingerie as only the fancy, sexy, special occassion stuff? The everyday t-shirt bra and black underwear are also, technically, lingerie.

It's not a waste of money to feel good about yourself & entice your man in different sexy ways IMO. Lots of us like to wear sexy bras & panties every day too......we have to wear those anyway so why would it be a waste?
Exactly. LOL
One time, my mom and I were shopping. We happened to be in the shoe dept at Macy's, and I saw this pair of red, patent leather, stiletto heeled open-toed shoes. Honestly, they looked like pole dance or street walker shoes. I kind of loved them, and pointed them out to my mom, telling her I kind of loved them.
DH used to tell the story about how his sister once bought a pair of sexy red shoes- this would have been the 1950s. His Mom's response: "Shirley, only two kinds of women wear shoes like that and you sure ain't no Spanish dancer."

Heh. I wear it for me. That my partner gets to enjoy it as well is a happy side effect (he's a lingerie guy).
Lingerie (corsetry, bras, panties, garters/stockings with back seams/fishnets, slips, pretty nighties, tap pants, silk robes, peignoir sets--I love them all) is money very well spent.
Quality lingerie lasts a long time if properly cared for, so I do have a few of what I like to call "investment pieces." (La Perla, I'm looking at you.) I also like to buy vintage slips and nightgowns when I can find them at thrift stores and estate sales.

Personally, I've always found a woman in pajamas (no underwear, please) to be more attractive than the same woman in a filmy nightgown. This probably relates to my partiality toward a masculine spirit (self-reliant, pragmatic and independent), but definitely in a female body.

I once had a partner who also said that lingerie is not for the women, it's for the men who like to look at them. He bought me lingerie, and he wanted it back when we broke up. He complained if I did not wear it to bed often enough. And oddly enough, toward the end of our relationship I found several pairs of my stockings that had been inexplicably stretched out, ruined, I could no longer wear them. I didn't give it much thought. I never would have guessed what he later admitted, that this manly manly man who was forever on about how "alpha" he was, actually fetishized lingerie to the point that he wanted to wear it himself. Yeah, apparently it's for the men alright.
Anyhow. I think that there are ways to repurpose stuff and there are items you can wear to go out if you want, often depending not only on the nature of the garment, but the kind of activities you go to. I have a sort of...teddy, I guess? It's got the spaghetti straps, fastens with hooks in the back, has boning but no lacing, so I'm not sure it's a corset...it also has the removable garters. Well, it isn't lacy or filmy or see-through. It's black and red and has a design up the front of black skulls on red background. I wore it to metal concerts, when it fit me. I could probably use the material to sew a small purse or something if I wanted.
