While it can still be challenging to find darker nude shades at your local boutique or chain store, a lot has changed over the past several years. As you’ll see here, there are more brands than ever before offering lingerie in a diverse array of skin tone shades.

The first time I saw the Sans Peur collection from Âme Nue Intimates, it took my breath away. The brand itself is named after the French phrase meaning “naked soul”, and each piece in this new collection does an excellent job of conveying both the power and vulnerability behind that idea.

I’ve been curious to try hemp underwear for a while, but I’ve had less-than favourable experiences with hemp clothing in the past. I often find the fabric itchy, and it can feel thick and heavy against the skin. Obviously, that’s not ideal for something you’re wearing on sensitive parts of your body.

Fluffy and fabulous, marabou is commonly associated with the sex kitten glamour of the 1950s as it was often seen on Hollywood stars such as Marilyn Monroe and Mae West. Since then it’s faded in and out of popularity – and right now, it’s definitely having a comeback moment.

2020 is almost over, and I know I’m not the only one excited to say goodbye! Normally, New Year’s Eve is one of my favourite nights of the year to get dressed up. I love the glitter, sparkles and metallic colours that define New Year’s celebrations, and it’s always fun to end the year lavishly.

I first discovered Australian brand Stonemen several years ago whilst looking for comfortable, stylish men’s underwear as a gift for my partner. I was so impressed by the quality of the briefs that came for him that I knew I had to get my own pair of Stonemen one day.
