I’m still working my way through my gift shopping, so if you are too, here are some of my favourite lingerie or lingerie-themed gift ideas for this winter season. There are options included from an XXS up to a UK 28 (US 24) or 3XL, plus a number of size-free accessories.

Knowing what you like is great. But really boxing yourself into a single aesthetic/style is not, especially if you’re just buying that underwear design over and over because it’s the same one you’ve always shopped for, without investigating the other options out there and whether they might work for you too.

Based in Britain and created by Hungarian designer Linda Miller, Divaurae is a luxuriously-sensual lingerie brand with a retro edge. Miller’s creations show influences of everything from 1950s silhouettes through to the high leg cuts of the 1980s, but it isn’t just fashion history that inspires her work – it’s also the models who wear it.

If you’re practising yoga in lingerie, there are a few important considerations to keep in mind when purchasing. The right lingerie can enhance your experience, providing comfort, support, and an empowering sense of inner beauty and confidence.

It’s coming up on a decade since I became a mother, and breastfeeding feels like a distant memory. That said, I do distinctly remember feeling unimpressed with and uninspired by the nursing bra options available at the time, especially those in my size range.

I have purchased numerous sets from Karolina Laskowska, most recently the Eos re-release in Aubergine which retails at $1,079 for the two-piece set. The Eos designs are available exclusively through Jane’s Vanity, a US-based boutique that curates lingerie and home goods from a variety of luxury designers.

Thinx recently settled a much-publicised class action lawsuit for not disclosing that its products contained PFAS, so you might be wondering if these period swimwear brands also contain toxic chemicals. For each brand, I’ve noted down whether they contain PFAS or what they say about the matter.

Designed in South Wales, Emiah by Alycia specialises in bespoke bridal, corsetry, and boudoir lingerie. I reached out to the designer in January of 2022 to commission a piece for my bridal trousseau. This began a yearlong luxury experience full of decadent textures, fantastical delights, and quiet extravagance.

One thing I do not personally appreciate is constantly looking for ways to hide my bra straps and band. So, what if I told you that some designers have created bra bands and straps that are meant to be showcased as fashion statements within your outfits?

Founded in 2021 by Ella Campion, Hermit London is fighting against textile waste by creating stylish sleepwear out of old hotel bed linens. Hotels dispose of their bed linens after an average of just 9 months, and the tiniest stain, tear or pull in the fabric is enough to get them thrown out.
