Types of Lingerie Styles Explained
At Fleur of England, creating luxury lingerie is more than just designing beautiful pieces—it's about crafting experiences and empowering women to feel confident, sensual, and elegant. We understand that the perfect fit can elevate your sense of self, whether you're adorning yourself for a special moment or simply indulging in everyday luxury. This is why we offer many types of lingerie, each meticulously crafted with the finest materials, from delicate French lace to soft silk. Each piece is made to inspire confidence, femininity, and capture a sense of unparalleled luxury. In this guide, I will walk you through the many types of lingerie we offer, ensuring you find the perfect lingerie that compliments your body, lifestyle, and personal taste.
Also known as a balconette bra, the Balcony Bra is one of our most popular styles for its versatility and support. This style provides a natural uplift thanks to its underwired cups, making it the perfect choice for women who desire both comfort and shape. Whether you have a fuller bust or prefer the extra support that an underwire offers, the Balcony Bra is a staple piece in any luxury lingerie collection. The design gently lifts the breasts, creating a flattering neckline that’s ideal for a variety of outfits, from low-cut dresses to tailored blouses. It is called a balcony as it sits straight on your decolletage lifting your bust. This style is particularly good for curvier busts and narrow backs.
The Strap Balcony Bra takes sensuality to new heights with silk-encased straps that elegantly frame the bust, this bra is all about showing off your feminine allure. The Strap Balcony Bra is made to be seen, whether you're wearing it under sheer garments or allowing a hint of embroidery to peek out from under your clothing. It’s an empowering piece for the woman who wants her lingerie to make a statement as bold as she is.
For those seeking an extra dose of cleavage and comfort, the Plunge Bra is the ultimate solution. Its cups are cut low at the centre with a deep V-neckline, creating a naturally enhanced silhouette. The design of the Plunge Bra gently presses the breasts together, creating cleavage, making it an ideal choice for low-cut tops or dresses. At Fleur of England, we offer signature lace plunge bras that are lightly padded to create a smooth, rounded shape underneath clothing—truly a wardrobe staple for any woman who desires both comfort and sensuality. This style is particularly good for smaller busted women.
For those who prefer a more relaxed fit, our soft cup bras offer luxurious comfort without compromising on style.
At Fleur of England, we pride ourselves on the intricate design of our Boudoir Bra, a non-wired piece that exudes subtle sexiness. The triangle cup style is iconic in our collection, and it’s particularly beloved for its ability to offer light support through an elastic underband. This type of bra feels featherlight, perfect for summer or for wearing underneath sheer blouses. Despite its wireless nature, it still manages to capture a luxurious feel—ideal for women who appreciate a minimalist approach to sensuality.
A favourite for women with smaller bust sizes, our Strapless Bra is a necessity for strapless dresses or off-the-shoulder tops. Perfect for cup sizes A-C, the elastic underband and soft boning offer light support whilst keeping the bra’s shape throughout the wear. The Strapless Bra is the perfect way to show off intricate embroidery or lace without any distracting straps, making it a go-to for those special occasions when elegance is key.
A new addition to our types of lingerie, the Bralette, combines comfort with subtle support. With added structure around the ribcage and soft triangle cups that plunge to give you more cleavage, this piece is perfect for wearing under lower-cut silhouettes. Embodying the modern woman’s need for lingerie that looks as good as it feels.
Just as crucial as the bra, the right pair of knickers can make all the difference in your overall lingerie look. At Fleur of England, we offer a variety of styles, each crafted from exquisite materials such as our exclusive delicate French lace and sheer Italian tulle. All our briefs and thongs are cut to fit mid-rise.
Our Luxury Briefs are for women who desire fuller, more traditional coverage without sacrificing style. These are crafted with a combination of embroidery on sheer tulle or French lace and stretch silk. The classic brief style ensures comfort while providing a stunning aesthetic—perfect for those who appreciate a more refined, modest look in their luxury lingerie. Some of our briefs feature a stretch mesh back ( classic signature brief and Fleur du jour brief) This mesh is very soft and makes the briefs adapt to a wider size range.
Whether you prefer the Classic Lace Thong with its timeless elegance or the more daring Embroidered Thong with silk strap details, this style is both skimpier and sexier than our briefs. The lace thong features a front panel crafted from our exclusive fine French lace, combining comfort with an alluring aesthetic. Our embroidered thong, on the other hand, adds a touch of playfulness with its delicate silk straps, designed to make you feel as confident as ever.
The Ouvert Briefs are a bold addition to any lingerie collection. With a cheeky cut-out peephole detail at the back, these briefs are crafted from soft lace or sheer tulle. Perfect for those who love to add an element of surprise, these briefs are both playful and seductive.
