‘I’m a fashion writer and these lingerie gifts will boost your confidence’


Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and if you want to treat yourself or surprise your loved one on February 14, there’s still time to get a gift no matter what your budget is.

Lingerie retailer Lounge Underwear opened a store in Westfield Shepherd’s Bush, London last year and in the shop, you can find their new Valentine’s Collection on display.

The limited-edition “Fall Harder” designs include romantic love-heart embroidery and delicate lace details.

But other than the Valentine’s range, there’s comfortable loungewear, men’s boxers, accessories and other classic lingerie styles such as the bestselling Blossom bra.

As a fashion lover, I found five £40 and under items that make the perfect Valentine’s Day gifts.

Whether you are a fan of Lounge or you want to try out the brand for the first time, our top choice is undoubtedly the Blossom bra. The wired balcony design features lace and a brand logo on the band — it’s sporty yet feminine.

Or pick “Maroon”, a fiery red so hot that’s bound to boost your confidence when you wear it. The £40 bra has full-cup wiring but the shop manager suggested to go one size bigger for the band due to the design of the bra.

Don’t worry if red is not your go-to hue, as Admire Balcony Bra has a lovely monochrome colourway. The black mesh bra has a strip of satin wrapped around the the bust and all the way up to the strap – and it’s both sexy and elegant.

Also priced at £40, the Admire Balcony bra is easier to match with your daily outfit, meaning you’ll get more use out of it.

For couples, Lounge’s boxers for men have proven one of the popular products among all customers. I was told by the manager that some female shoppers prefer to wear men’s boxers and show off the thick band with the Lounge logo embroidered across.

Made with soft bamboo fabric, the Everyday Boxers (three for £35) are also very soft and if you want to make it a “His & Hers” gift, you can match it with the Bamboo Triangle Bra, £30.

With 11 colours to choose from, it’s a thoughtful gift that doesn’t break the bank.

You can also “pick and mix” three underwear pieces as a gift set for £35. Whether you want embroidered pieces, lace lingerie or sexy G-strings, simply choose your top picks from the wall and have them wrapped in a box.

It’s worth noting that online options are slightly limited and you might find more options in-store.

If you want padded bras or push-up bras that will flatter your bust, Intimissimi offers styles with heavily-padded moulded cups for extra support.

Shoppers with fuller busts can consider Boux Avenue, with prices starting from £10.
