If you want to get dressed up this Halloween, then the most sustainable costume idea is to put something together with things you already own. But if you’re lost for ideas and still really want to wear a costume, how about basing it around a key piece which you can continue to enjoy long after the festivities are over?
Adaptive underwear provides ease and independence for people who find traditional underwear difficult to use. These designs commonly feature fastenings such as velcro, zippers or magnetic clasps in the front, so that the bra or brief can be put on or taken off without significant movement, bending, or standing.
Period underwear is great because it’s so versatile. The brands in this article offer underwear that can replace up to 12 tampons, but they also offer lighter options that you can use as a backup for when your tampon or menstrual cup overflows.
This is your ultimate guide to building a luxury lingerie collection. First, it’s important to start with a clear vision. Once you understand your motivations, it will be easier to build a collection tailored to your goals.
When it comes to accessorising with and styling lingerie as outerwear, I often hear people say that they aren’t comfortable getting creative. But as much as we love a daring outfit, there are also subtler ways to integrate lingerie into outfits on a regular basis.
Murmur works lingerie-inspired details into their designs in numerous ways, but by far my favourite is their use of shiny suspender grips as decorations. It’s a design feature I love whenever I see a brand using it, but Murmur really goes all out.
When it comes to low impact activities such as yoga, barre, or pilates, we need sports bras that will offer support while at the same time allow for a wider range of motion. So, how do you choose the best one for you and your body?
There’s something particularly lovely about owning a garment that was made just for you, but we don’t all have the budget for bespoke lingerie. That’s where custom embroidery offers a nice alternative – it’s way cheaper than ordering something truly bespoke, but still feels more special than a purely off-the-rack item.
The more unique or ultra-pretty pieces I add to my lingerie collection, the more I find myself trying to ‘sneak’ some of them into my outerwear. A strappy bra peeking out from under a top there, a slip worn as a summer dress there – there’s usually a way to slip a little lingerie in if you want to.
Marjolaine is a French luxury lingerie brand which is best known for its lavish use of appliqué, often featuring delicate floral lace stitched over a contrasting silk satin base. I love those pieces (how could I not?), but what I really adore are their slip designs that use super-sized embroidery appliqués.
