Get bodysuit beautiful this winter and invest in an all-in-one lingerie treat to turn up the heat! The weather outside is frightful, so make the most of cuddling up to your significant other to conserve warmth in these tough conditions...

 

The Drama Queen

You want a statement piece, and you want it now. Be sure to mix your patterns and fabrics to create a dramatic juxtaposition of different textures. Ruffles, silks, lace and ribbons; you’re going to want to make a real impact, so go for as many as possible.

Choose intense, bold shapes and emphasise those curves with boned corseting, plunging cleavage and a frill-flanked bottom. Nothing says drama like layers and curves!

 

The Vintage Starlet

For gorgeous glamour look no further than something along the lines of this elaborate, figure hugging design in plush nude silk with black lace details. The balcony style cups are better for a smaller bust as they don’t offer extensive support due to the low centre front.

This meld of cool nude colours and statement tones is sophisticated and feminine. Try to also go for a design that hugs your curves, potentially with a boned corset-esque upper half. Look for a mix of textiles; the interplay between intricate lace and simple silk is traditionally an effective combination which is bound to ensure maximum impact.

 

The Dominatrix

You’re going to want straps and structure, and lots of both. The sensation of being nipped, tucked and pinched is particularly in line with your interests, and you’ll want to dress the part!

This lingerie range is perfect for the budding S&M queen, with so much detail that wriggling in and out of this beautiful black harness is almost more restrictive than a corset, and definitely a sexier look (if something sexier than a corset is possible!).  I’ll leave it to you to decide how you’ll be working this outfit to your advantage.

 

The Sweetie-Pie

This mix of fabrics is the perfect look, combining sheer and opaque textiles for a great meld of drape and shape! If you’re looking for something delicate and girly, opt for high necklines and little details such as capped sleeves or lace shoulder straps.

Don’t give too much away with transparent materials, and look for a relatively demure shape that covers more skin than your average lingerie. You know how the suspense of unwrapping a present is half the fun? It’s the same deal with a good bodysuit.

 

The Seductress

If you’re looking to assert your feminine wiles, be sure to opt for strong shapes and bold fabrics.  Sexy lace dresses and stockings abound; you’re not the dessert, you’re the main course!

A hint of transparency here and there will give glimpses of just the right amount of skin; if you want to indulge in something slightly more risqué then feel free, but it’s strategically placed panels that don’t give too much away that will serve as a real tension builder.

Try opulent fabrics such as silk, satin and fine lace, and try not to mix your colours. One bold colour running throughout your ensemble will make for the perfect statement piece.
