The Strip guide to lingerie: new bra trends

At Strip we take pride in bringing our clients only the best women’s lingerie, with the most luxurious fabrics and top designers such as Stella McCartney and Heidi Klum. We all know how much clothing changes with the seasons but do you know what the trends are in lingerie? Read on to find out what to stock your underwear drawer with this winter.

Innerwear-As-Outerwear
Sometimes, with tricky outfits, you simply have to accept that part of your bra will show. It then becomes a matter of accessorizing, matching your bra (or having your bra contrast) with what you’re wearing. That naturally has given rise to bras that are meant to be seen. Layering innerwear with outerwear is such a great way to make an outfit your own. The idea of seeing a hint of lace or strap peek out of a low-cut neckline can add personality and individuality to any outfit. Our Cosabella Never Say Never Sweetie Padded Bra is a perfect garment to add something extra to your outfit.

Athleisure/Sporty
The athletic and streetwear influence has become very strong in lingerie/loungewear, meaning we’re seeing certain fabrics from that realm seep into intimates. If you’re feeling like comfort wins over looks on a lazy Sunday then try our Bjorn Borg Iconic Classic Sports Bra – underwear that is designed to make you look and feel active and attractive.

A Lil’ Something Extra… 
Lingerie trends go beyond bras and panties. Nowadays, the scope of underwear also includes little extras, like the fan-favourite bodysuit and the corset. They are not only sophisticated and alluring, but they are functional as well. You can layer them under your #OOTD, or incorporate them into your ensemble by wearing them with culottes or a high-waisted skirt. Try these ideas with one of our favourite Stella McCartney pieces; Meg Alluring lace bodysuit.

All About Fit (& Less About Padding)
We’re seeing more and more women trade in their padded push-up and moulded bras for more natural looking, tailored lace lingerie. Today, shoppers are focusing more on finding (and investing in) a great fit. This means we’re seeing a rise in unlined or seamed lingerie; the embroidered cups on this Eberjey Delirious Triangle Bralet are made of the softest lace and are available in an array of soft, vintage shades.

Bandeau-Style
The ’90s revival doesn’t simply end at the outer layer of your wardrobe. We’re seeing resurgence in the bandeau-style bra — and not as a layering piece, but rather for the straight, horizontal neckline. We’ve got you covered with our Cosabella Trenta Bandeau; the bandeau is shaped specifically so they lay flat on the body for a beautiful seamless effect. It features a pull-over style with silicone strips so you don’t have to worry about slippage.

Bottoms Up
As far as underwear goes; it’s less and less about thongs and g-strings, and more about the “vintage-inspired, sophisticated look of the high cut brief. This means high-rise waist, full back, and other panty features that focus on comfort and coverage. (Think a stylish Bridget Jones). This gorgeous, luxurious Stella McCartney take on an everyday seamless range featuring subtle jacquard leopard print and signature gold hardware sits alongside pretty floral corded lace detailing.

Happy shopping!

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • Got a Brazilian here and it’s the most painless waxing experience I’ve ever had. Also very good wax job, and she really made me feel relaxed and comfortable too… which is not easy when you’re half naked getting waxed! Will def go back.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • As it was my first waxing I was quite nervous. There was no need to be. The staff were friendly and professional. Eva put me at ease by explaining everything. She did an amazing treatment, virtually pain free. Will definitely be back. Thank you Eva and all the staff .
