FOR THE LOVE OF LINGERIE
Christmas is a time to treat yourself to some beautiful lingerie whether it’s a cool new season shape, pretty lace, sumptuous velvets or some silk sleepwear. We spoke to our lingerie buyer Roslyn Ellis about what to add to your wardrobe and the little hints you need to send your loved one for a Christmas lingerie treat all wrapped up in Brown Thomas style…
LACE & LEOPARD
Roslyn says: “You can’t go wrong with black lace for all skin tones. It doesn’t need to be a bra there are chemise, cami and short options that will work under many Christmas looks and run with S M L sizing.”
The Key Piece: “The Simone Perele Bustier from the 1948 collection is amazing. It marks the 70 year anniversary of the brand and is an exclusive collection to Brown Thomas arriving just in time for Christmas party season. This piece takes the bustier shape from the archives with a corset long enough to glide over hips so is very practical and flattering to wear. I love that the adjustable suspenders mean you can wear stockings to give you that extra wiggle in your step!”
SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME
Roslyn says: “Shapewear is all about creating a smooth and seam free silhouette. You feel your best as curves are supported and celebrated, not squashed. What is so fantastic is now, two of our absolute favourite shaping brands, Spanx and Commando, offer versatile body wear pieces that can be worn as outerwear. Invest in some of your wardrobe essentials with shapewear built in, from leggings to bodies and now skirts.”
The Key Piece: “For Autumn Winter the pencil skirt shape is the newest addition to the Spanx collection and bang on trend. This faux leather look is a workwear must-have easily transformed into party wear while streamlining your silhouette at the same time.”
THE BRANDS TO KNOW
Roslyn says: “Versace is new to the Lingerie Room this season, the collection is sensual and sporty. It’s comfy yet elegant with lace and sporty bralettes and briefs with the iconic Medusa motif.
The Key Piece: “It has to be the Triangle Lace Bralette which has all that golden Italianate detailing.”
SLEEPING BEAUTIES
Roslyn says: “I believe good pyjamas are a necessity. No matter what your lifestyle, we all spend a huge amount of time in them, so they should be comfortable but also make you feel incredible. My absolute must have brand is Bedhead Pyjamas, a Los Angeles label, worn by the Kardashians. Made of cotton, they are super soft, breathable and comfortable.”
The Key Piece: “You can’t beat silk for versatility. Not only is it sensational to sleep in a camisole or chemise, they can also be used to team with jeans or layered with a jumper. Silk is super for luxurious warmth in winter or as a super-lightweight, breathable garment in summer.”
