Lingerie, at its core, is about supporting and celebrating the female form. It’s a beautiful form of self-expression as well as a way to feel confident and beautiful in your own skin. In recent years, we’ve seen a shift towards embracing sheer fabrics, adding a touch of alluring transparency and spice to this intimate wear. Let’s take a peek at why…
Why Sheer?
- Confidence Booster: Sheer lingerie can be incredibly empowering. It’s about owning your sensuality and embracing your body on your very own terms.
- Versatility: From delicate lace to bold mesh, sheer lingerie comes in a dazzling array of unique styles and textures. It can be dressed up or down, worn as outerwear or simply as a confidence-boosting secret beneath your clothes for yourself and partner.
- Playful Exploration: Sheer fabrics add such an element of intrigue and mystery. They can be a playful way to explore your own sensuality and discover what makes you truly feel confident and beautiful.
Tips for Rocking Sheer Lingerie
- Find the Right Fit: Like any lingerie, finding the perfect fit is key. Ensure the sheer elements flatter your individual shape and provide you with the comfort that you need.
- Confidence is Key: The most important accessory that you can wear is confidence. When you feel good in your own skin, it truly shows in all that you do.
- Experiment with Layers: Sheer pieces can be layered with other lingerie pieces such as slips, bras and bodysuits to create a unique and personalised look.
- Consider the Occasion: While sheer lingerie can be worn for any occasion, be mindful to consider the level of sheerness and the overall look for different settings.
Sheer lingerie is about far more than just looking good; it’s about feeling good in your own skin. It’s about celebrating the beauty of the female form in all of its unique glory as we honour our curves. I’ve learned to embrace the sheer, celebrate my sensuality without body shaming myself, and enjoy the heaps of confidence that comes with it.
Essenther’s Sheer Range
When I spotted the sheer range at Essenther it was love at first sight for me; I couldn’t resist stocking up on a selection of sheer bra staples for my wardrobe. With so many colours, styles and sizes to choose from, their store is a treasure trove of all things underwear!
I selected the Essenther’s In Lyric Sheer Mesh Demi Bra, Mesh Plunge Bra and Sheer Front Closure Bra, all made from 45% polyamide and 55% elastane, available in band sizes 32-42 and cup sizes A-F. The mesh demi bra features a flirty balconette neckline and sheer, unlined cups for which their nipple covers team perfectly and look undetectable. With a supportive underwire for extra lift and adjustable straps to ensure a seamless fit, this bra makes me feel effortlessly feminine and comfortable at the very same time.
The sheer mesh plunge bra enhances your natural shape whilst again being very comfortable and supportive. The stretchy, ultra-fine mesh fabric is both lightweight and soft against the skin, with a barely-there feel. Perfect for wearing beneath a low neckline or blouse, I adore how versatile this style of bra is for formal and informal wear alike.
Finally the sheer front closure bra is designed for effortless allure. With its iconic soft mesh, as with the other two, the front closure design of this bra offers a seamless blend of comfort, support and sass. Once more, the unlined cups and underwire provide a subtle lift with adjustable straps for a flawless fit.
Whether you’re feeling bold and daring enough to let a little mesh peep out from beneath a blouse, or prefer having a sexy-mesh secret beneath your blazer, there’s no denying the confidence boost that sheer lingerie instantly provides. So rock mesh, in your own unique way, with style, grace and enthusiasm, and walk a little taller throughout your day with a twinkle in your eye. You deserve it!
