lingerie accessories

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.

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.

Looking to spice up your favourite lingerie look? Look no further! Nipple pasties – also known as nipplets, nipple covers, or nipple tassels when they have tasselled decorations – bring an element of mystery and sexy, burlesque-inspired fun to your underwear wardrobe.

What’s a suspender belt lover to do when the weather’s too hot for hosiery? Double garters! Once an old-fashioned thing that only brides still wore, the trend for strappy, elastic lingerie has brought leg garters back into style again.

You may remember Bijoux Indiscrets from my review of their 12 Sexy Days gift box back in November. I was lucky enough to get to pay the brand a visit last month at their Barcelona office, to chat to the co-founders Marta and Elsa.

New Year’s Eve is a great opportunity to bring out the glitziest items in your closet. From glitter to rhinestones to metallic colours (and more glitter!), I love seeing friends and celebrities alike ringing in the New Year wearing outfits that are sparkly and glamorous.

Bijoux Indiscrets is a Barcelona-based brand creating lingerie-adjacent accessories, from pasties to harnesses to delicate body chains. 2018 marks twelve years since they launched, and to celebrate they’ve created 12 Sexy Days, a large and luxurious gift box.
