Whether you’re still a little too shy to wear lingerie on the reg or are on the hunt for the next best piece to add to your negligée collection, upgrade your delicates drawer with the lingerie trends that are about to be huge this coming year.
With the rise of the ‘underwear as outerwear’ trend, lingerie brands are, finally, transitioning their design focus to highlight diversity (hello, Riri’s Savage X Fenty line!) and versatility – and we are so here for it!
We’ve rounded up the best 2019 lingerie trends to shop now:
1 Ultra Femme
Beautiful, delicate lace is an all-time favourite and a timeless look you will never get bored of. These are the kinds of pieces that make you fall in love with yourself when you look in the mirror. We’re talking delicate sheer garments with feminine details in sugary pastels that leave just enough to the imagination.
2 New Nudes
Nude lingerie, in a spectrum of shades, is a big one to watch. This trend goes hand-in-hand with the inclusive range of nudes that brands are increasingly coming out with, after the realisation that not everyone can match the standard three ‘nude’ shades. Gugu Intimates is a great example of a local brand that caters to a wider audience.
3 Modern Sports
Sports-inspired lingerie has made a huge comeback and is here to stay. The ’90s revival of streetwear encouraged women into an era of confidence and comfort. Think melange fabrics, elasticated bands, mesh details and logo-mania details. We are all about that comfortable loungewear life.
4. Matrix Mania
When you’re looking to elevate things in the lingerie department, lust-worthy pieces will perfectly serve your sassy dominatrix alter ego. The best thing about this trend? You can add a little something to your #OOTD by playing peekaboo with strappy bras worn alongside sheer or low-cut tops.
