I was recently very kindly gifted a beautiful matching bra & briefs set from D+ lingerie and swimwear brand Panache. I chose the navy and vanilla Arquette balconnet bra and briefs from the Masquerade collection, pictured below. Panache describes the bra as “a sumptuous and stylish balconnet bra designed for luxurious uplift and shape. Perfect for a special occasion with delicate fan embroidery trim”, which I would wholly agree with! It is slightly padded allover which provides comfort and a flattering shape without boosting your bust as a heavily padded bra would. Unfortunately for smaller busted ladies, Panache caters for D+ only, however it does carry sizes such as 28D which are often very hard to come by on the high street! You cannot buy lingerie directly from the Panache website, however you can browse all their collections and products, and find both online and in store stockists all over the world in just a few clicks.

I am almost embarrassed to admit that the majority of the time I am not an obsessive matching underwear girl! Sometimes my underwear matches and sometimes it doesn’t, and from a practical perspective it is the clothes I plan to wear on top which usually dictate what underwear I put on. That being said, my a new Panache lingerie set is making me want to be a part of the ‘matching bra and brief brigade’ more often.
