Smart Designer Lingerie
Style isn’t all about how you look on the outside, it’s how you carry yourself and the confidence you put into a look, be it high-fashion or high street. One perfect way to boost that confidence is by making sure you look just as amazing underneath your clothes- and the best way to do that is to wear beautiful, smart lingerie.
You can no doubt feel the difference between old, mis-matched underwear and a, sexy lingerie set from designer brands like Agent Provocateur, La Perla and Myla. I for one always feel better when I know what’s underneath, is just a stylish as what everyone else sees.
Lingerie has come a long way since its humble beginnings as a loin-cloth or a rudimentary corset. Today we have bras, pants, one-pieces, underskirts, teddies, and camisoles, to name just a few and even they come in so many different shapes and sizes, it’s hard to choose just one style. It’s even harder to believe that as little as fifty years ago you were only able to buy basic shapes in sizes A, B and C.
One look at Agent Provocateur’s latest collection shows just how far we have come in smart, sexy and high-fashion lingerie. From balconette and half-cup bras to quarter cup bondage style slips and bang-on-trend flapper and kimono robes, your underwear drawer will never have looked so smart.
Hop on over to leading lingerie designer La Perla for a classy and understated elegance. This season’s collection sees the re-release of Jean Paul Gaultier’s iconic conical bras, so you can channel your inner fifties sex siren, which we all know is big in the fashion world at the moment.
It’s not just the usual suspects, we can rely on for hot underwear, this season either. The big fashion houses have firmly jumped on the smart underwear bandwagon and you can now build your confidence in anyone from Chloe, Roberto Cavalli, Philip Lim, Kiki De Montparnasse and Stella McCartney.
Kiki’s collection has pulled lace straight off the catwalk and injected it into beautiful vintage inspired bodysuits and briefs. Philip Lim has transferred his trademark cool over into sexy and funky camisoles and bras that wouldn’t look out of place on Lady Gaga. Roberto Cavalli loses none of his trademark glamour with leopard print, lace and silk.
Stella McCartney’s is by far the smartest collection out there at the moment, with super cute camisole and brief sets in this season’s pastel shades, and simple cuts. Her cute little box sets of super cute cotton briefs, with the days of the week stitched into the front, bring up memories of the underwear mum used to buy you, but in a much more stylish and designer manner.
We haven’t even begun to cover the endless amounts of designer lingerie accessories available, like suspender belts, pasties, stockings and gowns and as always Agent Provocateur have the best selection.
So whether you’re dressing for yourself or a partner you will look sexy, stylish, classy and gorgeous in any of the pieces from any of these designers.
