The Thousands

Sensible cotton undies and t-shirt bras never got a woman anywhere. Except perhaps to the prime ministerial office. (Sorry J-Gill – you say no to gay marriage, I infer you have boring underwear.) Sure there may be a world of comfort in saggy boy leg Bonds, but by no means are they appropriate attire for lolling about your abode drinking dandelion tea and arranging freshly-cut peonies in your airy loft studio. And loll we must, we are ladies after all.

Specifically designed for such activities, LONELY Collection II is the latest lingerie collection from NZ label Lonely Hearts, after enlisting the help of widely acclaimed knickers shaman Ella Sarjant (previously lead designer for Stella McCartney’s lingerie range). What we have here is a nineteen-strong pastel and paisley army of vintage-inspired, sexy yet whimsical women’s undergarments – and not a g-banger in sight!

Think silk mesh cut outs, frenchy black chantilly, dreamy chiffon, and web trim detailing, across a range of teardrop bras, ’50s-style mid-waist briefs, bodysuits, and silk cami and boxer sleep sets. Ladies, you could wear a taco costume on top of these frilly bits and still feel like a million bucks.
