10 of the best Valentine's lingerie
Sick of pink, red and black? Stay classy and use this season’s best trends to inspire your Valentine’s Day lingerie.
01. SLIPS. Well, that’s handy: underwear appeared as outerwear at Chloe, Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci and Celine. L’Agent’s Kaity babydoll plants embroidered flowers over black tulle, £95. www.lagentbyap.com
02. LACE. Moschino, Pucci and Preen by Thornton Bregazzi showed lace in unusual colours. I.D. Sarrieri's tulle briefs are embroidered with azure Chantilly lace butterflies,£90. www.net-a-porter.com
03. SILVER. Silver was seen head-to-toe at Saint Laurent by Hedi Slimane, Lacoste and Louis Vuitton. Skip the light fantastic in Dolce & Gabbana’s stretch-satin balconette bra, now £87. www.matchesfashion.com
04. FISHNETS. Think sports-inspired rather than 1970s streetwalker at Marni, Valentino and Sibling. Fleur Du Mal’s bewitching fishnet triangle bra hits the spot, £68.45. www.farfetch.com
05. BOWS. Oversized and gorgeous at Rochas, Oscar de la Renta and - my fave - MSGM. Try one of Mimi Holliday’s famous bow back knickers for similar effect, £225. www.mimiholliday.com
06. GEEK CHIC. Mismatched patterns and fabrics for smart girls at Prada. Though not technically lingerie, Equipment’s floral-print washed-silk pajama set is the clever girl’s choice of nightwear, £445. www.net-a-porter.com
07. RUFFLES. The most feminine of detailing made waves at Alexander McQueen, Balmain and Ferragamo. Lascivious’ Kitty Crystallised Bra features judiciously placed frills, £155. www.lascivious.co.uk
08. STRIPES. Rainbow stripes ruled in cruise collections and continued at Missoni, Tommy Hilfiger and D&G. This lively Love Lace bralette by Dutch brand LoveStories is a cunning mix of pattern and detail, £50. www.lanecrawford.com
09. HARNESSES. Straps gave floaty dresses edge at Simone Rocha, JW Anderson and Joseph. Fleur du Mal’s lace bondage body means business. Be the one in 1,000 who dares to wear, £245.82. www.farfetch.com
10. COLOURS. Strong, clashing, very very cool at Christopher Kane, Gucci, Balmain and Dries Van Noten. Topshop’s cheeky orange print knickers do the trick, £4. www.topshop.com
