July 2010: TREND REPORT

Boudoir-inspired styles are having a major moment right now and it’s all about lingerie ON SHOW this season – in a fashionable way of course!
Becoming the perfect seductive-chic mix and displaying your undergarments can be a decidedly tricky proposition, which is why it’s important to get directional dressing from trendsetters and those in the know!
Now while your mother might not approve of these bra-baring looks it’s an intriguing trend to interpret – especially because it’s all so luscious and feminine!
If you’d like to add this look to your wardrobe’s repertoire, DRESS ME has a few suggestions on how to execute the trend flawlessly…
First of all, it’s important to remember that your foundation pieces need to be up to par – Shop at Hong Kongs leading lingerie store – “ShowTime” – to customize the level of coverage you want underneath. And then add BALANCE! Pair a corset with a gauzy blouse over structured shorts. Opt for lots of leg coverage to temper the sexiness of their lingerie displays. Look for ensembles of wide-legged trousers or a gaping, draping, floor length gown. High-waisted hot pants, toned down with semi-opaque tights will keep you looking modest. And a sheer top, high in the neckline will add a touch of discreteness to this gorgeous trend.

To contextualize this trend, first familiarize yourself with the fact that you’re undergarments will be on show!
