Underwear Drawer Essentials

At Simply Be we live and breathe fashion – but we know that it’s what’s underneath that counts! Even the most gorgeous of outfits won’t look its best unless you have the right underwear to do it justice. So we thought we’d take a look at the lingerie essentials that every woman should own. How many do you have?
T-shirt bra
Not the most glamorous of lingerie styles, but trust us, if you find your perfect fit you will want one for every day of the week! A T-shirt bra will give you a lovely smooth outline as there are no extra embellishments to interfere with the silhouette of your clothing.
Multiway strapless bra
Next time you’re shopping for a killer party dress, don’t let what’s in your underwear drawer restrict your choices. With a multiway strapless bra in your bra armoury (bramoury?) you’ll be ready for anything. Wear strapless, halterneck, crossover back or asymmetric strap and make it work for your outfit. This bra right here is actually the world’s largest strapless bra, available up to K cup – so please don’t ever think that you can’t go strapless if you’ve a bigger bust.
Plunge bra
For head-turning cleavage only one bra will do – it’s got to be a plunge. Plunge bras are low at the front making them perfect for deep, sexy necklines, and higher at the side of the cup, pushing your breasts together slightly for a va-va-voom look!
Bodyshaper
Depending on your body shape you may prefer pieces of shapewear that target specific areas, but a bodyshaper is a good all-rounder with the added advantage of giving a smooth line all over. A natural coloured one will be much more invisible under pale clothing than a white one.
Black tights
If you’re reaching for a fab dress in the morning, make sure you aren’t scrabbling around for tights aren’t bobbly and laddered to go with it! High denier plain black tights look chic and classy – and make your legs look fab! If it’s a plain dress, why not add interest with patterned tights instead?

Lovely Lingerie for a Summer’s Day!

Ah don’t you love it when you can start wearing your summer wardrobe! All those light, bright colours and strapless or strappy tops!
But there’s no point having a gorgeous summery outfit that’s let down by the wrong underwear – a greying bra strap on show just won’t do! Wearing the right bra is key to getting the most out of your summer look.
Here are our top tips to help you get it right.
The invisi-bra
White is a really big trend this summer, but one of the main mistakes people make is to wear a white bra beneath a white top. This will actually show up quite clearly because white + white = extra white. If you want your bra to blend in then what you really need is a skintone bra, like this one:
Multiway Magic
For halterneck or asymmetric strap tops and dresses you need a bra that can adapt to suit. This is where the multiway bra comes in!
Strapless wonder
For more delicate halternecks or strapless tops it’s got to be a strapless bra. Don’t be tempted to just take down the shoulder straps of your normal bra and tuck them in! Not only will you get lumps where you tuck the straps in but you simply won’t get the right shape and support. This strapless bra gives comfortable support up to an H cup:
