Best lace underwear: Fleur du Mal, Bluebella and more

When life gives you lemons, embroider them on a bra. Intimissimi’s Vacanze Italiane Balconette Bra conjures up images of summer spent in Italy, surrounded by citrus trees and dreamy countryside vistas. The non-padded piece is made from ethereal white tulle dotted with yellow lemons, trimmed with lace and features a crossover detail between the cups with a lemon charm.

All the It-girls are wearing Fruity Booty; here’s why. Not only are the brand’s glamorous designs the ideal blend of sultry and sweet, but they are also eco-friendly too.

The majority of the brand’s pieces are crafted from surplus fabrics, and for the pants that aren’t, Fruity Booty sources sustainable, high-quality materials for their creation. The packaging is 100 per cent recycled and the brand employs a zero-plastic policy when making the pretty pants.

Available in a variety of gorgeous pastel tones, these lace bloomers are a definitive aspect of the coquette aesthetic. Though bloomers would’ve been traditionally worn as undergarments in the Regency period, modern aesthetics and sensibilities have seen them become a summertime favourite.

A favourite among Gen Z influencers who focus on sustainable fashion, Stripe & Stare offers comfort-forward pieces to liven up your undies drawer.

According to the brand, the fabric is scientifically proven to be three times softer than cotton and is hyper-breathable.
