I’m a little late with it this year but… new year, new lingerie trend predictions! As usual, we’ll be reviewing my 2022 lingerie trend predictions and whether I got them right or wrong first. My top 2022 lingerie trend was vibrant colour, and boy did we see a lot of that.
When it comes to bra styles, few are as iconic — or nowadays, as rare — as the bullet bra. The bullet bra is a full-coverage style that uses spiral stitching to create a defined, pointed shape.
I’ve previously written about how I’ve been trying to live more sustainably since 2019, and as time goes on I’m finding that the less I buy, the less I feel the need to buy. I also know I have way more lingerie already than is actually necessary for one person to own.
Think of this as a roadmap to the internet’s largest communities of lingerie addicts: a State of the Union for lovers of silk and lace. I’m going to introduce you to the most important social media scenes, breaking down the barriers of how to use each site and what to follow first.
This is my second and final holiday lingerie gift guide, just in time for you to take advantage of any Black Friday deals these brands may be running tomorrow and this coming weekend.
It’s time for my first annual gift guide, which has ideas from below £10 to just under £100 and includes some smaller treats which are lingerie themed – perfect if you don’t know your recipient’s clothing size or just want to get them something different.
When it comes to sustainable lingerie, there’s a lot of talk about fibres and fabrics. Something that I haven’t seen discussed quite so often is the dyes used to colour those materials, and yet you can hardly call a natural fibre-based fabric sustainable if it has been coloured using toxic, environmentally-polluting dyes.
If France is the lingerie capital of the world, then Poland is the full-bust lingerie captial of the world. Seriously, if you wear above a D cup size (especially if you’re well beyond that letter) and you don’t know about Polish bras yet, you’re missing out.
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?
As someone who works day-in, day-out in the lingerie industry, I see a lot of underwear that looks very much the same. But part of the reason I stay so interested is that about once a year or so, I’ll stumble across an independent brand that’s just so utterly and refreshingly different. This year, it’s Elyse On Mars.
