Good lingerie makes you feel like a million dollars before you’ve even stepped out of the house. It’s not rocket science. The right bra.
The right knickers. The right slip worn underneath a dress that would otherwise cling to every laugh line. None of these are luxury.
Think of them as the base layer of getting dressed well. Most of us approach them as a chore though. Something we buy in a hurry between whatever else we need when what we have wears out rather than thinking about with any real intention.
We’ve built this edit to solve that. Everything we’ve picked does one or more things well. Not just for the obvious moments (though we have plenty of those too).
Bridal sets that make you feel really special. Silk slips that work just as well worn as layering pieces as they do anything you’d sleep in. Everyday bras that come in colours that won’t show through white blouses.
Because white collar creep is such a common problem yet most “solutions” are dismal at best. We’ve tried enough “beige” T shirt bras that look grey after three washes to know we’d only ever recommend something we’d wear ourselves. Fit and fabric are our priority here.
Lingerie that doesn’t quite fit right or is made from less than silky material will spoil everything you wear over the top of it. And we don’t just mean how it looks – think how it feels brushing against your skin all day. We’ve been deliberate here, curating pieces that give you plenty of room to move in fabrics that are more likely to breathe and soften over time than anything that would scratch you or lose shape.
Cotton for days where you need to know that nothing is going to upset your morning. Silk and satin for special occasions. And because not everyone wants something completely constructed we chose lace that is soft, as opposed to built up, for those who like a little something rather than an entire statement.
We have also really focussed on those in-between moments – the ones where no one is looking but you still want to feel put together. Think: matching sets that feel intentional without being too fussy. Bralettes that look great under an oversized shirt with a peek of skin at the back.
Seamless options that will disappear completely under jersey. Because while good lingerie can be sexy and glorious trompe l’oeil we also know it’s about comforting yourself into clothes. That kind of confidence is far more difficult to manufacture than it looks and we’re of the opinion that starting with a well stocked underwear drawer is one way to get there.
