Last year’s lingerie trend predictions – right or wrong? One lingerie trend forecast I gave for 2023 that I felt very confident about was powerful pink, and yep, it was everywhere (and not just in the lingerie world). There are so, so many examples I could share but here are just a few: Gossard launched their bestselling Glossies range …
Sustainability is, as you all already know at this point, an ever-growing focus of the fashion industry. Customers are becoming more demanding of it, and in response, brands are launching ‘sustainable’ collections left, right and centre, as well as doing things such as updating their packaging. Definitely the most common change I’ve noticed has been …
here’s exactly that – a few of my very favourite lingerie designs to gift, treat yourself to, or just admire from afar this winter season:
One of the least talked-about size categories in the lingerie industry is sub-A cup sizing. It’s also one of the least catered-to, with almost all brands (besides, of course, full-bust specialists) beginning their range at an A cup. Part of the reason for the lack of AA and smaller bra sizes is that, like DD+ …
I wrote about lingerie bags here as a really great, space-efficient storage method for your smalls. They take up basically no more space than the lingerie would in your drawer, but protect delicate fabrics from snagging and also allow you to keep things neatly organised. Difficulty level Easy.

Summer is finally settling and one of my current concerns is to avoid wearing my two functional strapless bras for the entirety of the season.

I tend to focus on the fashion of lingerie because it’s what interests me most, but I do think it helps to understand at least the basics of bra sizing. After all, it will make …
My first lingerie treat-to-self of 2016 was something a bit different – lingerie wash! Previously, I’d been using Tesco’s Silk and Delicates Handwash for a good few years and had no problem with it. It was dirt cheap (£1.50 for a 750ml bottle, or 6p per wash) and it got the job done. However I’d started to …
Madrid is inching its way towards summer, and with only one week left until my son’s off school, I’m already dreaming of all the beach trips we can finally make as a family – especially since I haven’t been by the sea since pre-pandemic! My swimwear collection is far smaller than my lingerie one. That’s mostly just because I …
Underwired bras seem to be the Marmite of the lingerie world; while I am forever reading tweets, articles and even press releases about how supposedly uncomfortable they are, they’re still the primary style of bra available in stores today, meaning plenty of people out there prefer them. But what do these love-’em-or-hate-’em wires do? You probably …
