FASHION TRENDS IN LINGERIE

Think that styles in lingerie remain the same year after year? It might surprise you to know that fashion trends in lingerie are changing just as quick as Chanel’s Cruise collection replaces Chanel Resort wear. It can seem like a lost cause trying to educate fellow fashionistas on the fickle nature of trends. Just because something is considered a trend doesn’t mean it will suit your style! The same goes for trends in lingerie. From sheer underwear to biker chick lingerie, what we wear underneath our clothes is a comment on our personality and style, just as much as the dress we choose to wear over it. 

As we venture further into 2009, vintage style is making a huge comeback in womens lingerie. Fine detail, from frilly ruffles and bows, to intricately designed corsets and basques, is featuring in a number of lingerie labels. Inspired by decades past is the return of high waisted briefs, with soft roses and chocolate browns proving popular colour choices. Soft mesh and lace are revealing themselves as the favoured fabrics, and lingerie label Elle Macpherson Intimates are fine tuning this trend with beautiful stretch lace and bow detail.
