Summer Dressing Series: Part 1
Part One: Prints, Brights and Black
The weather is warm and the sun is bright. The official start of summer is just around the corner. Dressing for summer events is fun but sometimes a challenge. In part one of the series, we’ll talk about Prints, Brights and Black. In parts two and three, we’ll cover beige bras and being ‘invisible’ as well as white bras and ways to work cool summer lace. Here’s to keeping yourself stylish and well supported this summer!
Black Bras – Take a Plunge!
Plunge styles are available up to an H cup! Have you tried Panache’s “Tango Plunge”? It’s amazing. It’s low enough that it works under wrap tops, plunging necklines and it even works under many styles of bridesmaid’s dresses, because the straps are wider set. Try this bra with low cut tanks, square necklines and more. Black bras work great under grey and black as well as any darker colour like navy or green. Try it under white…if you dare!

Brights! Brights! Brights!
Beige is not always best. Yes we offer beige bras because they disappear under white clothes, but we don’t think they are your only summer solution! Other colours such as pink and orange are often invisible under light clothes as well. Further to that, so many wardrobes feature colour in the summer, why not use your bras to mix it up? We happen to think having a hot pink bra strap peek out from a bright blue top is fun. How about soft pink under a summer blouse? We love to layer colours and make the bra part of our fashion look.
Now in store we have Freya’s “Summer”:

Love love love LOVE Freya! This pretty set has fab pink straps. Try it with bright colours for a look with maximum punch!

Prints Charming
White can be right! White is often the base colour of printed bras. In July, we’re celebrating white lace at secrets but before we talk about pure white, let’s enjoy white as the base for this pretty-in-pink option. With stunning lace across the upper cup and opaque white print across the lower cup, you’ll be surprised by how versatile this bra is.
Try adding white into your lingerie wardrobe with the stunning new “Felicity” by Fantasie:

This set is just so darn pretty. The white lace will contrast in such a lovely way against sun kissed skin, and the pink flowers add a touch of delicacy. But this set is quirky too – the print is vibrant, the straps are funky and we love the white, pink and green combination this set provides us. The floral print is super trendy this summer, and will look great under other floral prints for a pretty layered effect!

We’re feeling more pumped for summer events already! Now, off to a patio for a rum punch to celebrate our new summer lingerie style!
