Can over 50’s wear beautiful & sexy lingerie?

As a lady in in her fifties I can quite confidently say a big YES to this question! Age is not an excuse and there is no reason as to why your lingerie should not be beautiful and indeed sexy. Here are a few reasons why buying underwear that’ll make you feel slim, sexy and supported once you hit your 50’s – and beyond – will do you the power of good!…

Self Confidence

I can obviously indulge my passion for lingerie but I fit ladies all the time who might just pop in for a white or black bra but when they venture to try on a pretty one immediately change their minds. This is all too often accompanied by purchasing the matching knickers to complete the look and WOW! Just knowing you are looking your best in your undies does wonders for your self-confidence – regardless of whether or not anyone else sees it! Whether this is in the workplace or bedroom, wearing lingerie that gives you a boost will make you feel a million dollars.

Menopause

As we grow older, it’s all too easy to get stuck in a rut with your lingerie and not pay attention to how it fits or looks. When we hit our fifties and go through the menopause, it’s a really key time to update your lingerie as hormone changes can drastically change your body shape and of course your bra size. The menopause effects women in different ways and whilst some women will go down a cup size or two, some women will increase in both cup size and back size!

What type of bra is most flattering?

The most obvious change in a ladies bust as she gets older is that gravity takes over and we lose a lot of definition and fullness. This is where wearing the correct fitting bra for your bust comes into play and if you get this right can absolutely make a real difference to your silhouette making you feel and look AMAZING!

The Balconette

There are many style types but the most flattering for a bust that has lost its fullness is the balconette. This shape is the mature ladies best friend, giving you a great cleavage as it pushes you upwards so that you appear fuller. Its great to keep the curves in the right place whatever age you are!!
