Bedroom Fashion
Friday 11th October 2013 | Joss
I hate shopping. I find it tedious and stressful. I hate those clothes that look so good on the hangers but make me look like an exotic dessert or The Hulk’s deranged aunty.
I do, however, like shopping for lingerie. It’s fun, exciting and leaves you feeling a little bit naughty. This winter season, get to thinking about what’s under that big coat.
The Basque, The Corset, The Bustier: whatever you call it, it’s sure to keep you hot this winter. Reminiscent of French boudoirs and cabaret theatres, this little number is very sultry and ever so seductive. If you’re feeling a little ‘soft’ throughout the delicious Christmas season, basques hug your curves and redistribute your winter padding perfectly. I know that a corset is the only thing I feel sexy in after a big meal – and I mean a very big meal!
If you fancy yourself less ‘leather’ and more ‘lace’ then a tight black bustier might just be a bit too sexed up for you. A babydoll is fantastically flattering; cute, playful and feminine. The bra plumps up your breasts and the soft material drops down from your waist, giving straight body types that coveted hourglass figure.
Aprons are less domestic than they sound. Though I can imagine cooking a turkey in this festive piece would certainly spice up your holidays.
If you’re new to the wonderful world of lingerie, perhaps start off with a classic piece – the black t-shirt bra of bedroom attire. A garter belt is simple, elegant and easy to slip on. Even better, you can buy one for £10; a real investment if you consider how often you plan on wearing it.
If this all sounds too vanilla, strut your confidence in a body stocking. Fishnet stockings clipped to your garter belt can make you feel like a goddess – now imagine extending that fantastic feeling all the way up to your neck.
You don’t need a boyfriend or lover to validate buying any one of these items. Get yourself an early Christmas present and feel sexy, even if it’s just for you!
But if our feather duster doesn’t tickle your fancy…or your thighs…then we have a more simple and cost-effective alternative for you. Sometimes you’ll feel sexiest wearing nothing but a smile.
These garments are available at Ann Summers, Victoria’s Secret, Harmony and La Senza.
