‘Glowtini’ by Mimi Holliday at Porte A Vie
Ah, the three-piece black lace set…. this is what I consider the foundation of any luxury lingerie wardrobe . It is the set and style I recommend continuously to women who ask what a good ‘starting point’ for an epic lingerie collection is, to partners or friends wanting to purchase gifts, and everyone in between. It’s never fails. It is timeless. This is because it is versatile, functional and sexy, in equal parts. ‘Glowtini’ by Mimi Holliday has updated this staple with an on-trend, soft-cup style bra. Directional lingerie brands have recently moved away from the ultra-padded, push-up styles of years past, to more elegant, wireless bralette styles in light of customer demand. Fashion-forward lingerie lovers, it would seem, are a bit ‘done’ with ‘Bombshell This’ and ‘Very Sexy That’ in the form of 2 pounds of rubber foam, and are looking for a more natural silhouette. Without compromising beauty, ‘Glowtini’ incorporates a high apex triangle bra. This means more support than the more commonly seen spaghetti-strapped triangle shape (think, bikini top) and the addition of a front closure feels even more secure. The front closure also adds easy change factor for the uncoordinated, like me, who struggle to do up bras at the back (I’m a chronic ‘hook up then twist around’ type). Thebrief is comfortable and pretty for a lower-hipped style, with a more 1960s/70s vibe than anything sporty or casual. Ditto the suspender belt, which is a classic shape, flattering on basically everyone. The grips that are delicate and dainty, but still do their job of holding up stockings. For me, my favorite aspect of ‘Glowtini’ is the fabric- a black mesh with embroidered, stemmed roses. Especially the way they scatter around the neckline of the bra, providing opportunities to sneakily peak out of tank tops or blouses- nonchalant raunch. Essentially, this is a perfect, modern interpretation of an enduring style, built equally for comfort and seduction.
