Buyer’s edit: Valentine’s lingerie you’ll love

February 6, 2017

Buying lingerie can be tricky at the best of times… it requires good lighting, large luxurious changing rooms and a good pinch of body confidence… so it’s no wonder that many of our other halves get it wrong on Valentine’s Day. They know cheap red lace is out – but what’s in? Fear not – we’ve put together our edit of the prettiest, wearable pieces that will see you through February and beyond. Feel free to share with your BAE!

If you love a statement

This Stella McCartney chemise is hands down our favourite piece this season– it’s elegant, gorgeous and beautifully made. If you’re lucky enough to be going away for Valentine’s this is the perfect piece to wear as you relax in your hotel room – post-spa and pre-drinks! The bralet and knickers make a perfect gift that’s a little different and guaranteed to make you feel like a goddess.

If you love vintage:

You can always rely on Stella McCartney for beautiful lace and this season is no different. The soft blush and cream tones in these Bella Admiring pieces compliment almost every skin tone and really channel the ‘English rose’ look. The bra has an unusual front fastening with the wide pink band giving the illusion of a smaller waist. We love the hint of lace on the romper and it’s ‘English country garden’ style print.

If you’re a girly girl:

Cosabella is a perfect choice for delicate Italian lace. The Never Say Never bra is one of our best-selling styles and this new mint green colour has just landed in stores. It looks great against a tan and is ideal to wear beneath semi sheer clothing. Available in small (8-10), medium (10-12) and large (12-14) – it’s an easy fit and a style you will want in every colour! You can also get the matching french knickers to make a cute set.

Never Say Never Sweetie Mint Green £43 >

Never Say Never Hotpant £29 >

If you want cosy and comfortable:

Eberjey is the brand to head to if you want pretty pastel shades with the softness of every day lingerie. Beautiful soft greys and salmon pink make this collection really stand out on the shelf. With limited stockists in the UK, this Aussie brand is the new kid on the block for easy to wear styles and quality fabrics.

Amazing hot wax as always! I’ve been coming to Strip for ages now and even though I’ve moved away from the area, I always make the journey because it’s more than worth it for a top class wax and as pain free an experience as a hot waxing can be. All the staff are always lovely and welcoming. Thanks ladies!
This was my first Hollywood Wax and I was nervous. The reception staff were extremely helpful with my questions beforehand. Holly my waxing technician, was extremely friendly, helpful and really put me at ease. It hurt a little, but nothing to how I thought it was going to and it was over very quickly. Definitely will be coming back! Thank you to the whole team for a fantastic service!
This place is awesome. Every time I’ve come they have offered top notch service. They make me super comfortable, they are beyond friendly, and the wax is done to perfection. All of the Strip locations are great but I think the City location is the best for customer service and friendliness. Highly recommend everyone go here for!!
I have been going to Strip Wax for years, and it never disappoints. They always do an excellent job, and make the experience as pain free as waxing allows. Staff are always really helpful, the rooms are gorgeous and they use great products. Would highly recommend.
Just had my very first Brazilian wax and was pretty nervous, but Isobel put me at ease straight away. I felt really cared for and it wasn’t embarrassing at all; and not anywhere near as painful as I’d feared.

I’ve signed up for their special offer of 5 for the price of 4. Isobel has completely changed the way I think about waxing. Thank you!
Absolutely amazing wax with Martina today. The whole experience from Terri on reception to the treatment was fantastic and I cannot recommend this salon enough. Having recently undergone extensive surgery for Crohn’s disease, I was nervous for my first wax in a few years and Martina was just amazing she listened to me and made me feel totally relaxed and in safe hands. The wax they use is fantastic and you barely feel a thing. Can’t wait to come back!
Honestly the best intimate waxing in London. Quick and as pain-free as it’s gonna get. My favourite therapist is Luciana – she’s such a pro and makes the whole experience easy and stress-free.
I have been looking for a hair removal salon since leaving NYC. A lot of beauty salons use mediocre wax, however at Strip they use the proper black wax which is the best and most comfortable way to remove hair it is also super quick. Staff could not have been more friendly helpful and professional. I will definitely be returning to Strip!
Hands down the best wax I have ever had. This was my first time going to Strip and there was no pain whatsoever and it was over so quickly! I have very sensitive skin and am always in pain whenever I get a wax however, I had none of these issues here! Will 100% be back.
