The New Lingerie Trends Every Woman Should Know About

last updated 30 October 2017

For some women, lingerie is used only for special occasions, is tucked away in the back of a drawer somewhere and is definitely not invested in on a regular basis. Bring this up with Journelle's CEO, Lyn Lewis, and prepare for a lecture on how this mentality is oh so wrong. In her expert opinion, lingerie should be treated like any other fashion item, especially considering you do wear lingerie every day. (Yes, even the pretty sheer lace kind.)

Just as it is with ready-to-wear fashion, there are trends that come and go within the lingerie market, and Lyn was so generous as to share her breadth of knowledge in the world of all things delicate and pretty with us here. Whether you're still too timid to wear this kind of lingerie on a regular basis or are on the hunt for the next best piece to fill your negligee collection, we suggest you pay attention to the hottest new trends in lingerie, according to Lyn. Ready to be wowed by the next best thing you'll wear underneath it all?

Go on to shop the biggest trends in lingerie right now according to Journelle's CEO, Lyn Lewis.
