Lingerie Trends in 2012 (Part 2/2)
(part one)
Structure Makes Your Current Closet Work
A keyword this season is “couture” as body-hugging designs look like they were made just for you. The classics will be meticulously reinvented and adorned with humor and surprise.
Loungewear Making a Comeback
And in opposition to constricting structure, loungewear is making a comeback with housecoats becoming a new, multi-functional, must-have piece. Bi-stretch and easy comfort pieces make lounging particularly decadent.
Glamour Hosiery Trends
The four key themes of hosiery in 2012 include words like, “diva,” “naturalle,” “sheer delight” and “rebel.” These looks include full-on glam with retro themes as well as looks that take advantage of the latest in fabric technology. Seaming, micro-mesh, fencenet and seductive patterning all exemplify these styles.
And look for all of these trends and more to be featured at the Salon International de la Lingerie in Paris at the end of the month. For more information you can check out http://www.lingerie-paris.com/http://www.lingerie-paris.com/.
Lingerie Trends in 2012 (Part 1/2)
Fashion in Sapphire
We're pleased to offer fine lingerie in the latest colour trends. Sapphire is part of spring's colour story as seen in the Felina Conturelle Fashion 60 design.
And while innovation is good, what we're after is the look and feel of the lingerie. An easy elegance comes to mind when thinking about this new look.
The multi-coloured embroidery and luxurious detailing ensure sophistication through to an H cup and the matched underwear continues the design.
Felina's 120 years of experience is proudly brought to the Comox Valley by Secret Drawers Lingerie. Drop by to see why this underwear matters.
New Trasparenze - Leggings Too!
It came to my attention that when I talked about the spring / summer line of Trasparenze last week, I didn't mention leggings. Today I'll correct that oversight.
To the right is an example of the Paige legging from the Trasparenze spring / summer line. Leggings are a hot trend right now as they can add informal adornment to any leg and, only extending to mid-calf, they are perfect paired with flats, heels or sandals for your day in the sun.
The Paige has a fishnet leg and the appearance of embroidery on the band at the calf. These are available in ivory (known as silk) and navy blue (known as oltremare).
New Hanky Panky for Under the Tree
Already-wrapped for you, we have three-packs of Hanky Panky's original thong known as the most comfortable thong in the world. These come in Santorini colours like those seen right and we have them both in original and in low-rise cuts.
We also have a new design from Hanky Panky: the Signature Lace Bikini. Seen here in sapphire, this is a traditional bikini brief with improved leg elastic to make sure you never have to pull or tug while wearing these underwear. These are also available in black or white and you can complete the look with a matching camisole.
Finally, a fashion piece this season, the Paisley original-rise thong. This holiday collection original has a deep black and ivory pattern with the traditional v-cut stretch lace on the band. Make sure to also check out the matching camisole and chemise to create a sassy holiday look.
Want more? Not to worry, here's some more new Hanky Panky in our drawers.
