Bluebella is a UK brand, with some stunning designs I couldn’t resist adding to my collection. In my opinion, they are pieces of good quality, at a decent price point as well, and I would genuinely recommend this brand. Bluebella stocks the obvious lingerie sets (underwear, bodysuits), but also does nightwear, stockings, etc., so there will surely be something to catch your eye. Their style definitely leans towards sexy and seductive, so it may not be for everyone. But Bluebella does a discount with Student Beans, so I think it's worth having a look if you want something special!
As a site stocking tons of brands, you really can’t go wrong with a quick browse on ASOS - won’t lie, one of my favourite bras is from there. The benefit of getting lingerie from ASOS is that there is a big range in terms of both style and budget for absolutely anyone. I’ve also shopped both third party brands and ASOS’s own lines, and I’ve liked all of it. The last perk is that they provide free and easy returns as well, which with online shopping nowadays, makes me more reassured about purchasing.
Though I haven’t personally shopped from Parade, I have only heard good things about them. I’ve seen so many gorgeous styles on their social media, and their ads have started hunting me and my wallet. They pride themselves on sustainable fabrics (lace, mesh, cotton, seamless pieces) and inclusive sizing up to 3XL, plus their Support+ design to accommodate larger bust sizes. I’ve been eyeing Parade for a while now, and I think I’m going to take the leap because they have 15% off with Student Beans.
Good old Primark, where would I be without it? Sometimes I really just feel like getting lingerie without breaking the bank, and Primark does it at surprisingly good quality. There is also a varying range of coverage and styles, from everyday items you could layer as clothing, to see-through babydolls that will not be seeing the light of day after purchase. The ability to get a whole set for the price of a single bra at another brand is just too appealing for me not to gave a few of them in my drawer.
Whichever of the above places you decide to try, or if you’ve found another brand you like, the most important thing is comfort and how you feel. I get lingerie because it makes me feel pretty and confident when I have it on. Picking out what to wear for the day or even a special occasion is now a really fun part of my routine, so I hope some of you find the same joy I do.
