Every season I spend weeks going through what is emerging in lingerie — tracking what the European boutiques are showing, what the top designers are pushing, and more importantly, what women are actually reaching for. Here is what I am seeing define lingerie in 2026.
Quiet Luxury Is Everywhere
The quiet luxury movement that took over fashion has fully arrived in lingerie. Neutral tones — champagne, ivory, warm taupe, soft blush — are dominating. The aesthetic is understated, high-quality, and deeply personal. This is not about being seen in your lingerie. It is about how it makes you feel when no one else is.
What I am picking for this: silk-feel chemises in ivory and champagne, lace bralettes in soft nude tones, satin sets in warm off-whites. These are the pieces I am most excited about right now.
Lace Is Having Its Best Moment in a Decade
We went through a period of minimalism in lingerie where lace was seen as fussy or old-fashioned. That is completely over. The lace I am seeing now is architectural — bold patterns with real character, worn as a statement rather than hidden. Lace bralettes worn as tops, lace bodysuits layered under blazers, lace sets worn with nothing over them in warm weather.
Comfort-First Silhouettes
The underwired push-up era is over. What women want now is support without restriction, shape without discomfort. Bralettes with soft cups, high-waisted briefs that are genuinely flattering rather than merely functional, and lounge sets that transition from bedroom to living room without looking like sleepwear.
Deep Jewel Tones for Evening
While neutrals dominate daywear, evening lingerie in 2026 is going deep. Rich burgundy, deep forest green, midnight navy and the colour I love most right now — deep plum. These are the shades that feel truly luxurious and photograph beautifully.
Everything I am describing is available in the Dentelle Karina collection, handpicked to represent the best of what 2026 has to offer.
