Trends Predictions: Lingerie Styles For Autumn/Winter 2024/25

This season is all about finding that perfect mix of comfort, confidence, and a bit of daring flair. Here are the trends heating up the season and see what you need to add to your drawer ASAP.

Velvet Vibes, A Touch Of Luxury

If there is one fabric taking over this winter, this is velvet. Soft, rich, and undeniably luxe, velvet lingerie is perfect for cosy nights or layering under your favourite sweater. This trend is not just about comfort; it is about making a statement, even when no one else can see it. Velvet bras, bodysuits, and high-waisted briefs are a nod to luxury, but they also offer that snug fit that feels oh-so-good against the skin.

Plus, the variety of shades this season is stunning. Think deep emerald greens, rich burgundies, and midnight blues that scream winter without being overly festive. Whether you are lounging by the fireplace or heading out on the town, velvet underwear adds a touch of sophistication that keeps you feeling glam even under your warmest layers.

Classic Whites: Stealing the Spotlight

Ph. cottonbro (pixels.com)

Forget the myth that white lingerie is only for summer: white lingerie is stealing the show this winter. This timeless look is getting a seasonal makeover with delicate lace details, mesh panels, and embroidery that feels anything but basic. The appeal of white lingerie lies in its ability to look fresh and modern while still offering that clean, minimalistic aesthetic.

What is really making this trend pop? The layering potential. Sheer white bodysuits paired under comfy cardigans or satin robes are giving major “effortlessly cool” vibes. It is all about pairing these delicate pieces with your winter wardrobe staples, making you feel put together even when you are just lounging at home. This winter, white lingerie is not just a colour choice – it is a style statement.

Redefined Lace, Not Just for Romance

Ph. leeloothefirst (pixels.com)

Lace is a staple in any lingerie collection, but this winter, it is showing up in fresh, unexpected ways. Forget the traditional red or black: you will find lace pieces in soft mauves, dusty pinks, and even earthy tones like olive green. These shades give lace a new identity, taking it beyond just a romantic evening look.

And here is the best part: it is not just a Valentine’s Day gift for your man. Lace, this season is all about celebrating you. Think lacy bralettes that can double as a layering piece under open-back sweaters or intricate lace bodysuits perfect for pairing with jeans for a night out. The versatility is unmatched, and the vibe is all about making you feel like the star of the show – no special occasion required.

Bold Prints And Playful Patterns

Ph. valeriya (pixels.com)

Animal prints, florals, and geometric patterns are bringing a bold twist to winter lingerie this year. This trend is for those not afraid to step outside the box and show a little personality. From leopard-print bras to floral lace sets that scream confidence, there is a playful energy to these designs that’s hard to resist.

The big pro of bold prints is that they can be as subtle or daring as you want. A floral lace bra peeking out from under a sweater adds a flirty touch without being too obvious. Or, if you are feeling bold, an animal-print bodysuit can turn any outfit into a statement. Embrace your playful side and find pieces that make you feel empowered, no matter your style.

Cosy Chic: Loungewear That Doubles As Lingerie

Ph. cottonbro (pixels.com) 

Not every lingerie trend has to be about lace and underwires. Winter is the perfect time to choose soft fabrics and comfy fits that still look and feel luxurious. From ribbed cotton bralettes to soft cashmere sets, these pieces are all about comfort without sacrificing style.

Think of it as the best of both worlds: loungewear that doubles as lingerie. Whether you are staying in or stepping out for a quick coffee run, these pieces are versatile enough to transition with you. Pair a ribbed bralette with matching high-waisted shorts and a cardigan for a laid-back yet put-together look. Or opt for a long-sleeve softly knitted bodysuit that can be styled as both loungewear and lingerie.

Making Lingerie Your Own This Winter

This winter, lingerie trends focus on blending style with comfort, letting you express your personality, and adding a bit of luxury to your everyday. From the classic appeal of white lingerie to the bold statement of prints and velvet, there is a vibe for everyone. So, whether you’re updating your drawer for yourself or for someone special, remember: lingerie is not all about what is underneath; it is about how it makes you feel. Embrace these trends, make them your own, and stay cosy and confident all winter long.

Life and nature see the recurrent happening of cycles, so your skin does. During the skin cycle process, your skin constantly renews and repairs and you can support it.

Ph. Cottonbro (Pixels.com)

The skin cycle is essential for maintaining the health of your skin but with ageing, it slows down. Your skincare products can play a huge role in this process.

What Is The Skin Cycle And How Does It Work?

The skin cycle is a natural process when your skin renews and repairs itself, where skin cells go through different phases, eventually leading to the shedding of dead cells and the formation of new, healthy skin. This cycle is essential for your skin's health, texture, and appearance.
 
The average skin cycle takes about 28 to 40 days in younger adults but, as we age, this cycle slows down, which can result in dull, uneven skin texture, as dead cells accumulate on the surface for longer periods.

Skin Cycle Steps And The Right Product For Each Stage

This renewal process goes through three different stages and each one is essential to the next one like the link of a chain. For each step, you can use a specific product to ensure your skin cycle works smoothly.

Stage 1: Cell Production (Proliferation)

Ph. Elizabeth Grant

In this phase, new skin cells are generated in the deeper layers of the skin. Stimulating healthy cell production is key, and products that boost collagen and cell regeneration, like Elizabeth Grant Skincare Professional Institute Collagen Booster Drops (£48, available online at ElizabethGrantUK), are beneficial here. These Collagen Booster Drops help strengthen and support collagen and elastin, helping to increase the vitality of skin, helping to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and resulting a visibly younger and more hydrated skin. 

'"I love all the products but my favourite has to be the Elizabeth Grant Skincare Collagen Re-inforce 3D Cleanser. It just quick and easy to use and feels soft and smooth. My face feels great after cleaning with this product, so 10/10 for me" - Deborah St. Louis (Director)

Stage 2: Cell Migration (Keratinization)

Ph. Elizabeth Grant

During the second phase, skin cells move towards the surface and begin to harden. Keeping the skin hydrated and protected is crucial. The Elizabeth Grant Skincare Collagen Re-Inforce 3D Advanced Face Lift Day Cream (£56, available online on Debenhams) is formulated with five different types of collagen and Torricelumn™ to help fortify the skin and visibly improve the appearance of skin firmness and facial contours. Day after day, the skin looks firmer and appears more lifted.

Stage 3: Cell Shedding (Exfoliation/Desquamation)

Ph. Elizabeth Grant

In the last stage of the skin cycle, the dead cells on the surface are naturally shed. This step is essential for revealing fresh, glowing skin. Helping this process with exfoliation ensures dead cells do not linger too long, which can clog pores or cause a rough texture. For this skin cycle step, the Elizabeth Grant Skincare Collagen Re-inforce 3D Cleanser (£21, available online on Debenhams) helps to fortify the skin's moisture barrier, leaving it feeling stronger and more resilient. This cleanser removes dirt, debris, dead skin cells and makeup and protects the skin from environmental stress that results in accelerated skin ageing.

Ph. Anastasiya Gepp – Pexles

This winter is all about feeling good, staying cosy, and looking effortlessly stylish with these wardrobe staples that will keep you comfy and chic all season long.

From soft textures to smart accessories, explore with us the winter must-haves everyone should have on hand to beat the chill and still rock a perfect look.

The Oversized Knit Sweater You Will Not Want To Take Off

Nothing says winter quite like a cosy oversized sweater. This year, the bigger, the better. A chunky knit sweater in neutral tones like cream, camel or even soft pastels is a go-to for layering over everything. The beauty of this staple is that it does not just keep you warm – it is versatile enough to pair with jeans for a casual day out or even a midi skirt when you want to look a little more dressed up.

The secret to finding the perfect oversized knit? It is all about balance. You want something that is roomy enough to give that effortless vibe but still has some shape so it does not feel like you are swimming in fabric. Whether it is turtleneck, V-neck, or crewneck, this piece will quickly become your favourite for the cold months.

All About The Accessories: Scarves And Handbag Trends

Ph. Alexy Almond – Pexles

Scarves are an essential cold-weather accessory, offering both style and warmth. Chunky, oversized scarves that you can wrap yourself up in like a blanket are the way to go this season. Play with colours: bold reds, classic plaids or deep emerald greens will add a pop of colour to any outfit.

The other winter accessories everyone needs to consider are handbags. Winter handbag trends this season focus on function just as much as style. Think about tote bags in rich leather or vegan leather with enough space for your essentials and some extras. In colder weather, we tend to carry more (gloves, hats, extra layers), so opting for a bag that is roomy and structured makes all the difference. Handbags in deep hues like wine, navy or chocolate brown bring a winter-ready touch to your look while still staying practical and polished.

Pair Your Women's White Sneaker With Anything

Winter shoes can be tricky. You need something stylish, practical and comfortable enough to carry you through the day, no matter how cold or wet it gets. While boots are an obvious choice, do not sleep on sneakers – even in the winter. The right sneaker can bring that unexpected, laid-back edge to your outfit. This year, a women’s white sneaker paired with cosy socks and a long coat is the perfect mix of casual cool and winter-ready.

A standout pair of white sneakers adds a crisp touch to even the most bundled-up winter outfit. Whether you are running errands, heading out for brunch, or getting ready for a casual night out, this sneaker trend is here to stay. Keep your pair looking fresh with a little care and protection from the elements, and they will serve you well through the season and later.

Layer Up With Cashmere And Wool

When the cold really starts to bite, layering becomes more than just a fashion statement – it is a necessity. This is where quality fabrics like cashmere and wool come in. A lightweight cashmere sweater is perfect for layering under jackets or oversized cardigans, while a wool coat is essential for keeping the chill at bay when you are out and about.

Investing in high-quality, natural fabrics ensures warmth without the bulk. Cashmere is luxuriously soft and lightweight, making it an ideal base layer, while wool’s ability to trap heat makes it your best friend on colder days. When layering, aim for a mix of textures – soft cashmere under a structured wool coat creates a dynamic look that is both practical and stylish.

The Perfect Winter Coat: Long, Tailored, Timeless

No winter wardrobe is complete without a standout coat. The coat you choose will be the most visible part of your outfit for months, so it is worth investing in one that checks all the boxes. This year, long tailored coats are dominating the scene. Think classic wool in neutral colours like grey, black or camel. These coats are perfect for pulling together any outfit, whether you are heading to work or a weekend hangout.

What makes a great winter coat? It needs to offer warmth without being too bulky, have a timeless cut that flatters, and be versatile enough to wear with both casual and more polished looks. Belts or cinched waists on these coats add a flattering touch, while the length ensures maximum warmth and a sleek silhouette.

Cosy Lounge Sets For Long Indoor Days

Ph. Katrin Bolovtsova – Pexels

Winter means more time indoors, and you deserve to feel just as stylish at home as you do when you are out. Enter the cosy lounge set. Matching lounge sets made from super soft fabrics like fleece or cashmere are perfect for those days when you are binge-watching your favourite show or enjoying a lazy morning with a cup of coffee.

The beauty of lounge sets is that they are cute enough to wear while relaxing at home but stylish enough that you can run out for a quick errand without feeling like you have just rolled out of bed. Opt for muted tones like blush pink, heather grey or oatmeal for that effortlessly chic look. Bonus points if your set includes joggers or wide-leg pants with a cropped hoodie or soft sweater.

Whether you are stepping out into the crisp air or curling up indoors, these pieces ensure you are as comfortable as you are fashionable all season long. Embrace the chill and let your winter wardrobe do the talking.
