The Colour Purple: A Hot New Trend For Fall 2008

After hot pink making it big last season, we’re now seeing darker, more Autumnal colours making their way into the Boutiques. Varying shades of purple, including plums, aubergines, as well as lighter lavenders and mauves are stealing the limelight in this season’s collections. With so many beautiful variations on the purple theme there should be something to suit everyone this season; from simple to more elaborate, here are our favourite purple picks for today..

Frill and Flirt with Sexy Panties and Naughty Knickers

Sexy Panties and Naughty Knickers have got the purple trend spot on with their Flirt Underwire Bra, and Frill Triangle Bra; with stunning, soft, chiffon silk and a simple design, you can choose from the flirty, frilled thong or knickers to match your choice of bra. What we’re loving (apart from the vivid purple) are the new bigger cup sizes at S.P.A.N.K where the sizes for their underwire bras now go from an A – FF cup; the Flirt Bra comes with additional, removable padding for A and B cups, which is great news for those smaller cupped ladies who fancy a little more whenever they feel like it!

For US readers, the Bra Sets are available at S.P.A.N.K, the Flirt Bra is priced at $67, the Thong and Knickers at $39; the Frill Bra is priced at $54. For UK readers the Flirt Bra is available at Figleaves, priced at £19.50, the Frill Bra at £28 and the Thong and Knickers at £19. If you can’t find your size in the Flirt Bra go to S.P.A.N.K UK

Opin Divin by Aubade

A little more elaborate, and with a darker shade of purple, Aubade have brought out their Violet, Opin Divin Collection. The great-fitting bras, with beautiful, (non-scratchy) lace, give a beautiful shape and are all-round great bras for everyday wear as well as for a special occasion. Stunningly sexy, the Opin Divin Bra is adorned with a bow between the cups to add a little bit of je ne sais croix; the bottoms – a choice of thong or shorties – simple but equally sexy!

The Opin Divin Bra $119/£60 is available at both Figleaves US and UK along with a choice of Shorties $89/£45 or Thong $65/£33.

Charlotte at Rigby and Peller let us know that the Aubade Opin Divin Bra is now available up to an F cup!
