The Best New Lingerie Trends

Lingerie has always been like regular fashion in the sense that it changes with the seasons, evolves, and has trends. Over the years, lingerie has changed drastically and is now much bigger than a simple pair of underwear and a bra. 

If you are looking to start wearing lingerie, or want to upgrade what you have, here are a few trends that are dominating the lingerie world at the moment. 

Lingerie for All Sizes

If you take a gander at Bydee intimates, you will see that lingerie has evolved from something just made for catwalk models to something anyone can wear. One of the biggest trends we are seeing is lingerie made for all body types and shapes. 

Nowadays, no matter your size or shape, you are almost definitely going to find some lingerie that will suit you. 

Different Styles

Another trend we are seeing lately is the expansion of what “lingerie” is. Moving past the idea of lazy bras and underwear, more and more companies are turning different styles of underwear and undergarments into lingerie. 

Bodysuits, rompers, and robes are all getting the lingerie treatment, expanding your style and material choices. 

Color & Texture

Another trend that has taken hold is treating lingerie like an outfit. Instead of sticking with silk, satin, and lace, incorporating different materials, textures, and colors adds a different dimension to your outfit. 

Subtle Lace

Another trend is taking the classic lace look and dialing it down. Instead of making it the main focus of the lingerie, it is used as a way to highlight particular lines and angles of the underwear. 

This more subtle approach is also brilliant for those who feel a bit shy, as lace can sometimes be very revealing and often too revealing for some. 

Sustainability 

Finally, lingerie brands are aiming to become far more sustainable over the coming years. Unlike most other clothing items, underwear can’t be sold secondhand or reused if it has been worn already. 

This means that finding a way for it to be recycled properly is the first step to lessening the effect it has on the environment. Not to mention, a lot of lingerie is made from high-quality materials, meaning they will last longer too. 

How to Choose Lingerie 

Now that you know which trends to look out for, you may want to know how you go about choosing lingerie; considering how varied the options are, it can be hard to know where to start. 

Comfort

The first thing you need to do is choose comfort over style. There is no need to sacrifice comfort when there are so many options available to you, and while it can be tricky as you can’t spend your time trying underwear on, it is important to work out what you like and don’t like. 

If you are really unsure, purchasing a much cheaper pair of underwear with a similar shape and trying that on will give you a rough idea if the lingerie is for you or not. 

Know Your Body Type

While anyone can wear lingerie, not everyone can wear all lingerie. Different styles of underwear and bras suit different body types and shapes; what looks good on one person may look completely different on another simply because one person is a cup size bigger or has slightly wider hips. 

Once again, it will take some trial and error to figure out what does and doesn’t suit you, but it will be worth the effort. 

Do a Fitting

Lingerie fittings are a real thing and something you should take advantage of. Having a professional assist you will also help you find out your real measurements and what style of lingerie you should be looking at. 

An expert will also teach you the difference in materials and how they behave on the body;  a pair of silk underwear isn’t going to fit the same as a pair of underwear made of cotton, for instance. 

Quality Over Quantity

Much like many other pieces of clothing, lingerie is all about quality, not quantity. Unless you have an unlimited budget, treat lingerie like a luxury item; save up for the right set; spend extra money on high-quality materials and craftsmanship, etc. 

It also isn’t necessary to own multiple sets; having two or three that you save for special occasions will mean you make an effort in finding the right set. 

Mix & Match

One mistake that many people make is buying a set with one of the items not fitting properly. Not every person is going to have the measurements to fit into every set of lingerie that is apparently their size; this where mixing and matching comes in. 

There is nothing wrong with buying the perfect bra and a different pair of underwear; as long as you are comfortable in both, they don’t need to match; they can be complementary instead. 

Change with the Season

As mentioned, treat your lingerie like you would your regular clothes. Alternate the styles, colors, and materials depending on the season. This will also leave you feeling extra confident, as you will have a mini outfit on under your clothes.
