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?

Ever since I first moved to Spain, I’ve regretted leaving my fluffy dressing gown behind. I guess I thought I wouldn’t need it but the reality of living here is that it’s not all sunshine, all the time. Stealing my husband’s hoodies was no longer cutting it, so this Christmas just gone, a cosy robe was top of my wishlist.

Handmade in Málaga, Spain by Bohemian Soul Lingerie, these pieces have some of the most fabric I’ve ever seen on a nightwear garment. Just metre upon metre of fluid lace, chiffon or cotton voile that drapes down to the ground and puddles around your feet.

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.

I love that even after almost a decade of blogging about lingerie, I am still discovering new styles to covet. One shape that I’ve been seeing rather often lately is this type of bandeau bra with underwires that are separated from the overlaid fabric, and visible through it.

A name that has been very popular recently for a number of reasons – among which, their willingness to consistently increase their size range – is UK brand Edge O’ Beyond. Their flexible size range covers UK 6-18 and 30B-38G, the concept being that one size covers 3 to 4 sister sizes thanks to adjustable back straps.

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.
