T-shirt bra
“The most important aspect of the T-shirt bra is smoothness, making it great to wear under almost every item.
"Stick to the rule of three pairs of knickers for each bra – have some styles with coverage as well as thongs.”
Colourful triangle bra
“Pretty enough to be glimpsed under a shirt, a spring style essential even for those not used to flashing their intimates.
"Or wear with low-cut tops to reveal a peep of colour without looking tacky.”
Super-sexy set
“Something frivolous and oh-so-seductive is worth it, even if you wear it only once.
“Every woman should have at least one set of lingerie for a weekend away or when you are in the mood to really wow
Convertible strapless
“A lingerie no-brainer that can easily switch from regular to strapless or T-back, and worn with just about anything.
“This bra is your evening wear’s new best friend, so keep the colour simple with black or nude.”
Shape control set
“The secret essential.
“The best shapewear is both pretty and practical, with powerful panels.
“If you want to flatter your tummy and give your waist some shape then opt for an all-in-one body style suit.”
