Shopping

Bows on lingerie seems to be a very polarising design feature. They’re everywhere, so it’s little wonder some people are bored of them, but it is worth knowing the reasons they’re so ubiquitous. And personally, I’m thrilled that bows are having a bit of an extra popular moment in lingerie right now!

As we are entering the most festive part of the year, cosy and stylish do not have to be antonyms. From classic silhouettes to custom prints, here is a selection of fashionable loungewear pieces that will also bring you comfort during the cold winter months.

Last week I shared my top lingerie gift recommendations under £100, and now it’s time to turn my attention to the luxury suggestions. There’s both showstopping bra sets and decadent loungewear galore to choose from, and the more you scroll down, the more breathtaking things get!

From smaller treats to indulgent loungewear, here are twenty lingerie gift ideas that I feel offer particularly great value for money – whether their appeal be an eye-catching design, a luxury fabric at an affordable price point, or just something any lingerie aficionado is sure to appreciate.

Lovehoney’s Captivate line is an official collaboration with the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise. This season, they’ve added two great new ranges to it – Flocked Mesh, which features a classic black and gold colour palette with lavish chain and ring details, and Chiffon, for those after a softer and more romantic vibe.

Halloween is another occasion to be creative and express ourselves through fashion, and sometimes (often), what’s underneath can be part of the celebration. Here is a selection of witchy lingerie that makes me think that spending Halloween at home again this year won’t be so bad in the end.

You can find quarter cup bras at any budget, but today we’re looking at the best of the best: the elegant styles and decadent materials of luxury brands! These bras celebrate the body by framing it with satin, lace, and opulent embellishments.

For a long, long time I just bought plain black tights that I’d wear with everything. I was treating them as something purely practical, rather than thinking of them as an accessory. But that’s exactly what they are! In fact, the right hosiery can even be the centrepiece of your whole outfit.

This summer, the consensus seems to be that we only have one life to live – safely. Bikinis are definitely de rigueur and size ranges are expanding up to KK cups. Here are some of the full bust swimwear brands I recently discovered, or rediscovered, on social media this year.

I asked my Instagram followers what they considered to be a budget-friendly bra, and the average answer was £30 (approx. $42 / 35€) or less. On this basis, I will share my opinion on the pros and cons of some of the best budget-friendly full-bust brands I’ve had the opportunity to try around that price range.
