2010 Summer Lingerie Styles

2010 Summer Lingerie Styles

Summer lingerie tends to have a cool and comfortable fit, with fun, vibrant colours and patterns that complement the sunshine. This year, there are a host of new innovative designs and trends from all the big players in the industry, all guaranteed to keep you looking sexy in the summer sun.

Generic summer styles that always fit into the fashions of the year are camisoles, cotton bras, bikinis, boy shorts and thongs – generally lighter lingerie items. Tight-busted corsets and heavy material are lingerie styles left behind with the cold.

Satin-Based Ranges

Satin-based ranges are being paraded on many catwalks this year, and are a beautiful trend that draws inspiration from vintage styles of the 1930s. With soothing and sensual colours like pink, peach, lilac and blue playing a prevalent role in manufacturers’ designs, you can take advantage of the alluring effect brands like Huit and Lejaby have produced this year.

Caribbean Beach

Another popular theme this year is the Caribbean beach trend. Tropical colours and patterns will make you stand out on the beach or by the pool, and brands like Marie Jo and Prima Donna have hot pink and deep turquoise colour schemes to help your lingerie scream exotic.

Floral Designs

Floral patterns and prints go hand in hand with summer styles across the board, and lingerie is no different. Whether they are small and delicate, or engulfed in pinks, peaches and lilacs, flowers always conjure up themes of life and nature, and make a big difference to your outfit.

Black White

For all these summer colours, there are some unique and interesting things you can do with simple black and white.

Black works with almost anything and can be a very sexy colour with the right design. Marlies Dekkers offer a range this year that emphasises strap detail and a rhinestone-based cup design to make black seductive.

White is another simple colour whose freshness and subtlety can enhance any lingerie style. Contrasting darker areas of a design with a sharp white presence can create an interesting look.

Summer Lingerie

Summer is the season when you can actually get out and show off your lingerie, meaning you can move away from the functional and the practical and focus on looking cute and sexy. Whatever your plans for the warmer months, fill up your summer wardrobe now and get out in the sun!
