Last year was weird, but I have high hopes that 2021 will be at least a little better than its predecessor. I don't know about you, but even though we have been existing in

this at-home lifestyle since March, it took the end of an entire year for me to finally accept that what I'm looking at might be the new normal. As someone who reports on fashion for a living, I am no stranger to the shift in the industry as everyone has gravitated away from fancy frills and towards a more low-key (and comfortable) way of dressing. Loungewear and athleisure attire are categories that are by no means strangers to us now, but there's something else on the docket I'd like to discuss today and that, my friends, is lingerie. 

You wear it every day whether it's lacey and matching or not, so it only makes sense that you give it the love and attention it deserves this year. Since all you're really wearing is sweatpants and underpinnings anyway, an article about this honestly just makes sense. I reached out to two of the biggest experts in the business—Jennifer Zuccarini, founder and creative director of Fleur du Mal and Sameera Hassan, chief marketing and customer engagement officer of La Perla—to get the scoop on what we can expect from the lingerie world in 2021. Including seductive hues, practical yet pretty bras, and more, the lingerie experts ahead are here to explain the latest and greatest when it comes to the lingerie trends that will matter most this year. The trends ahead are exciting yet practical and will no doubt make your year ten times better so long as you add a few of the products below to your cart.
