In the lingerie world, flamingos are more than just a shade, they’re a style icon. A sartorial nod to tropical fun, the colour is a hot-button for designers and has led to everything from flirty dresses to seductive bralettes, with some swoon-worthy sets even doubling as swimwear. So, whether your giftee is a fan or not, we’ve got her covered with a collection of the best flamingo-print lingerie.
For your go-to lace-embellished pieces, look to Agent Provocateur. This British lingerie label has become the place to be for sultry, hyper-feminine sets that are more than just your average lingerie. Founded by Vivienne Westwood’s son John Corre, the brand delivers a subtle punk insouciance to its hyper-feminine designs with lashings of black and plenty of sexy bows and lace. The coveted ‘Florette’ set is perfect for adding a touch of sexiness to her wardrobe, with its embroidered flowers and sheer fabric.
If your giftee prefers a more minimal approach to her underwear, Calvin Klein is the place to head. A firm favourite of the Kardashians and Kate Moss, the minimalist label is renowned for its underwear that feels as good as it looks. Embroidered florals and barely-there finishes are a signature of this coveted line, with lace embroidery and soft nude stretch tulle proving popular options. The likes of Kourtney Kardashian, Dua Lipa and FKA Twigs are fans of the line, wearing their Calvin Klein bras as outerwear in warm weather, proving just how versatile these pieces really are.
One of the few brands to cater for DD+ cup and band sizes, Cosabella is another high-street label to rely on for pretty, oft-lace sets that will fit comfortably. Shop the ‘Blossom’ collection for delicate pink and blue sets with sheer lace and a more minimal finish, or choose from other more full-coverage styles including thongs and panties in up to an I cup.
Unlike some lingerie labels, eberjey offers bras and panties in up to an H cup with a wide range of pretty styles from which to choose. Look out for a lace peek-a-boo bralette and thong set, or the Anouk boythong, which combines lace with a silky sheer material for a more layered look.
Another lingerie brand to consider if you’re shopping for your plus size gal, LA MUSA fuses fashion-forward design with ethical production. With each piece designed, crafted and produced exclusively in the brand’s Polish factory with zero waste and using upcycled fabrics where possible, the line is a go-to for sustainable, trend-led lingerie that’s also super-soft and comfortable to wear.
Another plus size lingerie brand to consider is Lilysilk, with a selection of sultry silky bra and panties sets to suit your giftee’s needs. Whether you’re looking for a sheer balcony bra or crotchless panties, this is the place to go for long-term investments in gorgeous lingerie that won’t date.
