Three sophisticated lingerie sets for Autumn

Departing from our recent burlesque theme, today we’ve picked out some hot new Autumn/Winter sets that are perfect for the Sophisticate in you. Rather than glamour and sex appeal, these picks are all about simple lines and a chic, clean look.

Araks “Ivana”

Luxury doesn’t have to mean silk, as New-York based Araks has proven with their luxe, simple cotton collections. This bralette (available only in a B-cup) is perfect for smaller sizes who are looking for comfort over support, with a healthy dose of urban chic style. The bralette is $155 at Nancy Meyer, and for other sizes, there’s also a lovely matching camisole (small, med, $200). The matching underwear is perhaps the loveliest of the entire set, and is available for $125.

Marlies Dekkers “Desire”

Looking for a chic-yet-functional set? How about Marlies Dekkers’ stunning “Desire” set? Just landing at Mio Destino, this microfiber and mesh set features a smoothline shape with accents of Marlies’ signature straps. Simple and refined, this basic set will really shine when you pair it up with a low-backed top for that extra wow factor. The bra is £64 (available in up to an E-cup) and the matching thong is £32.

Fantasie “Paige”

Finally, we found a simple little set for larger-cup sizes: Fantasie’s pinstriped and floral “Paige” set. The smooth moulded cup is perfect to create a great shape under your shirts, and the print adds a little personality without going over the top. The full-coverage briefs and shorties add an old-fashioned vibe to the set, doubling as a great control set when you want to look seamless and slim under your dress. The bra is £32 at Figleaves UK and $80 at Figleaves US, but strangely, the matching knickers are only available at Figleaves UK – we’ll keep an eye on this!
