Forget the boring neutral multipacks, sensible undies and greying bras – summer lingerie should be a celebration of colour and frivolity. Think feel-good dressing in a sweet-shop palette of neon brights, playful prints and delicate lace trims.

To complement a summer wardrobe, look for lightweight fabrics such as sheer mesh, unlined cups and seamless designs that won't add bulk beneath breezy dresses and linen separates. If you're opting for bright colours, make them part of the outfit rather than something to disguise. A flash of colourful strap beneath a sundress or a vivid bralette peeking from an oversized shirt can look effortlessly chic. Bodies are another summer hero, offering light support while adding texture beneath a blazer or open shirt.



Whether you're looking for a contrast bra strap to complement a favourite dress or a pop of colour beneath a crisp linen shirt, these lingerie buys will bring a little sunshine to your top drawer.
