Tips for buying lingerie
glamour What are the best lingerie staples?
Start with practical and comfortable pieces that still have the pretty factor. Push-up and T-shirt bras, and seamless knickers are great staples, and your core colours should be nude, white and black. (Include melange grey if you like a sporty look.)
It’s really important that lingerie fits perfectly, as it’s the foundation of any outfit. If this is challenging or confusing, go for a professional bra fitting, a service we offer at our Women’secret stores.
What about sexy pieces?
Sexy is personal and it’s really about finding a style that flatters your body, but my favourites are sheer lace bralettes, shapely body suits with lace details, flirty, low-cut baby doll nighties and multi-strap lace knickers.
What’s trending now?
Blush pink is a big trend – try a bralette or cute baby doll nighty in this hue. Sheer fabrics, lace, cut-outs and floral touches are also fashionable right now.
What about bridal looks?
Elegant with a touch of sexy is the way to go on the wedding day. Think along the lines of a bralette and garter belt in great lace. How about pearl white for the ceremony and celebration, and sensual black satin for your wedding night?
Your bridesmaids should also wear something special for that extra touch!
