This season, boyshorts and short shorts take center stage. Perfect for layering over colored hosiery or pairing with sheer skirts, these pieces bring a playful edge to the everyday wardrobe. Soft basics from Hanro, luxe options from Hundr, and sexier styles from Tallulah Love show how versatile this silhouette can be.


Building on the popularity of the hotpant and no-trouser look, we’re seeing textured materials like ribbed knits, plush velvet, and sleek leather. Gucci’s wide lace briefs embrace the lingerie-inspired hotpant, offering a chic yet sultry aesthetic.


Styling tip: Wear these shorts over textured hosiery for a striking autumn statement.


2. Waist Focus

Corsets and waspies return as a must-have for the season, combining classic structure with modern styling. Agent Provocateur's luxury corsets, Monique Morin's bodices, and Lunatic Femme's lace waist pinchers evoke a perfect blend of party-ready fashion and vintage charm. These pieces draw influence from gothic, punk romance, and even Y2K aesthetics.


Corset-inspired boning and wide elastics help define the waist, with durable materials ensuring these pieces last for seasons to come. Whether layered over clothing or worn as statement lingerie, they embody both empowerment and elegance.


Styling tip: Layer corsets over sleek tops or turtlenecks to make a chic, bold statement.


3. The Evolution of the Body

Bodysuits remain an essential part of modern lingerie collections, and this season is all about taking them to the next level. Whether it’s the simplicity of everyday pieces or the intricate lace and embellishments of special-occasion designs, the bodysuit offers a versatile silhouette. Ruched styles, like those from Coperni, and unique designs from Agent Provocateur, are key items to watch.


Knitted bodysuits and turtlenecks bring an element of elegant comfort, while ruched and gathered details add a fresh, modern touch. Asymmetry and cutouts provide directional styling, perfect for those seeking a party-ready look.


Styling tip: Pair a ruched bodysuit with high-waisted trousers for an effortlessly stylish look that works from day to night.


4. Modern Femininity

The essence of modern femininity comes through in designs featuring bold floral embroidery and structured, yet delicate, pieces. Soft cup bras from Hanro, vibrant florals from Empress Mimi, and gorgeous sets from House of Silk show how this trend combines comfort with high-impact style.


Floral embroidery is a standout feature, with large-scale patterns in rich jewel tones creating an air of timeless glamour. Bralettes continue to evolve, with refined fits and finishes making them a staple for both loungewear and layered looks.


Styling tip: Choose floral embroidered bralettes to wear under sheer tops for a romantic, feminine vibe.


5. Refined Fetish

A touch of dark sensuality defines the Refined Fetish trend, where leather, black lace, and strapping come together for a sophisticated take on gothic influences. Soft silks from Valnue Lingerie, gold hardware from Lunatic Femme, and playful embroidery from High Liquid are key elements of this trend. Sustainability is also at the forefront, with bio-leathers adding an eco-conscious edge.


Delicate lace softens the harsher lines of leather and strapping, while metal hardware brings a tough, luxe touch. This fusion of softness and edge creates a look that’s equal parts feminine and fierce.


Styling tip: Mix and match lace pieces with leather details for a bold, refined aesthetic.


The next two trends are ones to look out for. They are microtrends that have the potential to grow into something bigger.

6. Boudoir Skirts

Skirts are returning to the lingerie scene with vintage-inspired details like statement bows, lace, and floral prints. Boudoir skirts, often paired with delicate tops, are perfect for those seeking a playful, romantic addition to their lingerie wardrobe.


Floral motifs and decorative ruffles add a sense of escapism, bringing a feminine touch to lounging or intimate wear. Sustainable materials like FSC-certified silk and repurposed fabrics are also key to this growing trend.


Styling tip: Pair a floral-print boudoir skirt with a lace-trimmed top for an ultra-feminine, vintage-inspired look.


7. Diamanté Embellishments

Diamanté embellishments are the season's touch of glamour, adding sparkle to bras, bodysuits, and accessories. Whether as a subtle accent or a bold, shining feature, this trend is perfect for festive occasions and glamorous nights in.


Styling tip: Look for bras or bodysuits with diamanté detailing for an extra touch of luxe to your lingerie collection.
