Trend of the week: Lingerie sets

When it comes to looking sexy, it’s what’s on the inside that counts.

INSPIRATION

Creating alluring curves can be easy with the right know-how. Try this season’s body panelling, as seen at M&S, to create a coveted figure of eight without scrimping on support. Well-endowed? Dunnes Stores’ sexy side tie ribbon knickers balance out a top heavy figure, while lacy boy shorts from Passionata dress up our inner tomboy. Hot hues like papaya, tangerine and bubblegum pink also make getting (un)dressed a delicious treat. Prepare for the big reveal!

STYLE NOTES

Remember: wired cup sizes tend to run bigger than non-underwired styles. Try before you buy!

Big busted? A full cup bra offers separation and definition to the bust line.

Opt for styles high in the cup with thicker shoulder straps that sit close to the neck for maximum support.

Looking for a natural cleavage effect? Swap your push-up for a plunge bra which adds ‘oomph’ without compromising on support.

Bras should fit comfortably snug. The back and front of the band should be even and parallel to the floor.

Look leggy and lovely in high cut briefs. Perfect for gals with pear shapes, large hips or short gams.
