THOSE itchy and flimsy red lingerie sets we always get for Christmas quickly end up at the back of our knicker drawer, soon to be forgotten.
But retailers have finally wised up to what we REALLY want from ruby-reds.
Here, former Page 3 model Peta Todd slips into some of the more flattering, affordable and comfy options on the market and shares her verdict with Fabulous Fashion Director Tracey Lea Sayer.
So long, scratchy G-String...
THIS is a fresh look at the classic red bra and pant set but without the scratchy “cheesestring” thong.
The brief fit was comfortable but still sexy with lace and sheer panels. The delicate lace trim on the longline bra is just what I wanted.
Lacy bralette, £14.99, thong, £5.99, both New Look
So flattering
I LOVED this set – a very grown-up, classy red, while the lace detail under the cups was really pretty and gave a flattering line.
I liked that the knickers were easy to wear high-legged or lower, depending on your preference.
Red bra with bow, £32, thong, £18, both Boux Avenue
Silky soft and special
THE open lace panel down the side gave a cheeky look at what was – or wasn’t – underneath.
The style and the silky feel meant this was great to wear. It definitely felt special.
