Sheer Lingerie in Mesh and Lace

Sheer lingerie in mesh and lace

Sheer pieces are among the boldest things we carry. They are cut from stretch mesh and finished with fine ribbon detailing, and the effect is exactly what you would expect: the fabric follows the body closely and reveals as much as it conceals. Most of these styles are designed to be comfortable as well as striking — which is not a given in this category, and is worth checking before you buy anywhere.

Sheer pieces are the natural starting point for building a set. Add a sheer dress over a mesh bra and briefs, and finish with jewellery. Or pair the lingerie with a semi-sheer top or a mesh bodysuit. Sheer lingerie also works particularly well with accessories — body chains, chokers and garters.

None of which requires much explanation. Sheer lingerie is unambiguous, and that is rather the point: it manages to be elegant and provocative at the same time. If you want to change the atmosphere of an evening, this is the shortcut. The full range is in erotic lingerie.

Revealing, but well made

Sheer lingerie reads as daring to a lot of people, and it is worth saying that this does not make it any less refined. The collection is defined by good cutting and fine fabric. Some pieces are striking enough that they will hold anyone's attention — which is why we treat this as a collection of properly made lingerie rather than novelty, suited to a bedroom and to any number of other occasions.

Revealing lingerie takes many forms, and we stock the kind that presents the body with some elegance rather than none. Sheer bras with ruffles, bodysuits and bodystockings, corsets with suspenders, sheer thongs and tops — all of them work with the natural line of the figure rather than against it.

Sheer, and softer than it looks

Sheer lingerie reveals the body through a fine layer of mesh, which is why it belongs to a certain kind of evening. The bras and briefs deserve particular attention — they are what give an outfit its edge.

It is worth remembering that sheer pieces are not only for the bedroom. A semi-sheer top is a good example: layer a black set underneath and you have something genuinely wearable and current. Everything in this collection is comfortable enough for daily wear, and nothing stops you putting a piece under ordinary jeans and a white T-shirt to go out for the afternoon.

Sheer lingerie may look revealing in photographs, but what it mostly is, in practice, is beautifully made. The colour range is deliberately versatile, which keeps it easy to wear. A light black robe or peignoir is a good illustration: airy, sheer and unexpectedly freeing to wear. These are for anyone who wants something refined rather than obvious.

For anyone willing to try it

Sheer lingerie is unmistakably for women who are not nervous about experimenting. It pairs particularly well with suspender belts and stockings, jewellery, evening gloves or a sheer wrap, and the result is a look that belongs entirely to you.

It also makes a good present. If you know what your partner likes, pieces like these tend to land well — and if you are not certain of the size, a gift card solves that problem neatly.

What sheer bras and briefs do

Our collection covers sheer bras and briefs across the range. Soft mesh sits lightly against the skin, and the combination of restraint and transparency is what makes these pieces work. You should feel comfortable in them, which is the whole point — nothing here is designed to be endured.

Sheer bras and briefs come in several colours — black, white and red — so you can match them to the rest of an outfit.

Worth trying

Life is short enough to spend it entirely in everyday lingerie. If something bolder appeals to you, there is very little to lose by finding out. With sheer pieces from Obsessive, Dkaren, Mediolano and Gatta, you get something that works as a layer under other clothes as much as it works on its own. The newest arrivals are in New, and we ship worldwide from our warehouse in Poland.
