All we want for Christmas is… amazing underwear! OK, there are probably some other bits and pieces that would be nice, but you really can’t go wrong with fabulous Christmas lingerie. We’re all different though, so to do some of the thinking for you we’ve come up with our round up of the best ideas. We’ll cover the practical, the sexy and the fun so there’s something for every mood!
The Sleepy…
Cosy festive PJs have their place, sure. But sometimes you just want to slip on something soft and silky.
Nightdress
Why stop feeling elegant at bedtime? In the winter a bit more coverage can be practical, and stretch fabrics are ideal to balance the comfy with the sexy. A touch of lace makes this short sleeved nightdress both gentle on the skin and alluring on the eye.
Robe
Slipping on a satin robe really is the ultimate in luxurious indulgence at bedtime. Whether you’re fresh out of a candlelit bath or just chilling, this cute short satin robe will be a welcome gift for most women we know!
The Sexy…
Whether it’s a gift from your significant other, or more of a gift from you to them, these picks are Christmas lingerie to feast the eyes.
Corset
A classic boned satin corset is a must for any wardrobe! Whether you wear it underneath for its unrivalled form fitting properties or styled as a top, it’ll make you feel like a bombshell!
Bodysuit
Whether you prefer a sleek control bodysuit or something a bit more visual, like this underwired body, these pieces are lovely to wear. With popper fastenings on the gusset and comfortable shoulder straps, they stay in place and look great.
Slip
It’s just as important to feel sexy as it is to look sexy, and a slip invariably makes us feel fabulous. This chemise is made with stretch lace, so it skims the skin while giving you a bit of structure around the hips.
The Sweet…
Of course, lingerie comes in all shapes, sizes and vibes. SO we can’t ignore the cutest of cute pieces out there. They’re a little bit flirty and a lot of fun.
Tanks
This lace cropped tank top offers gentle support and lots of cute appeal. It’s something a bit different for your underwear drawer.
Shorts
You don’t have to wear a thong to be sexy. These boxer briefs are full coverage but elaborate enough to feel rather coquettish.
The Sensible…
Let’s not forget that underwear does need to be functional too! So these are the key pieces of all round reliable shapewear to see you through the next year.
Control Briefs
Classic and versatile, these high waisted control briefs are our go-to daily shapewear. They’re the gift that you’ll love every day!
Camisoles
A long line cami will give you a killer silhouette that smooths from shoulder to hip. You can pair it with any pants of thong that you fancy meaning that it’s super practical too.
The Separates…
What we love about separates is their versatility. A matching set is utterly stunning and can make you feel like a queen. But sometimes occasions and outfits mean that we need to be functional at the bottom but sexy at the top or vice versa.
Top
For necklines that need support without being invasive, this push up bra in leopard print is sultry and sturdy.
Bottom
These high waisted briefs have a front panel to maintain support, while the mesh fabric lends a provocative edge. A great garment to pair with any bra.
When you’re writing to Santa, don’t forget that variety is everything! We’re not always in the same mood, and our underwear needs to reflect that. We hope that your stockings are filled with lots of lovely and varied Christmas lingerie (and maybe some actual stockings…) And if the Santa in your life isn’t going to come up trumps, then why not treat yourself!
