Lingerie and Colour Trends: Find Your Perfect Match for Every Season

Writer's picture: Sabine JanssensSabine Janssens

What you see on the catwalk and in the latest fashion collections also appears in lingerie. This winter season, you can once again enjoy rich, warm colours that are perfect for autumn and winter. Of course, there are also a few classic shades that make a comeback every season.


The Trend Colours of Autumn-Winter 2024


This season brings a palette of deep, atmospheric colours that suit nearly everyone. The trend colours for autumn-winter 2024 are:


  • Aubergine and purple tones – think rich purples that lend a beautiful, mysterious look.

  • Green shades like dark moss green and other warm tones that look gorgeous on many skin tones.

  • Brown and bordeaux shades – these hues provide a classic, stylish appeal.

  • And let’s not forget classic black and the occasional red. Black remains a staple in winter collections, while red can appear in more subtle ways, depending on the trends.


Autumn-Winter vs. Spring-Summer: How Does It Work in the Lingerie World?


In lingerie, there are two main seasons: autumn-winter and spring-summer. Warm, dark colours return year after year in autumn-winter collections, with black always being widely available. You’ll often find variations of red as well, though its prominence can vary from season to season.


In spring-summer collections, we see lighter shades, with soft colours that suit summer outfits beautifully.


Summer Classics


Spring-summer collections often feature airy, light tones. Think:


  • White, ivory, and champagne shades – variations of white that look great under light clothing.

  • Skin tones – these come in many variations, depending on your skin tone, from pale beige to camel and rich browns. A good skin-tone bra can be worn under almost any colour without showing through. Just make sure to pick a shade close to your own skin tone, as a too light or too dark skin-tone bra can still show through under, for example, a white blouse.


Red in Summer – Yes, Please!


Red also makes an appearance in spring-summer collections. Although it’s often more subtle in spring, you’ll see it more in summer. For some people, red doesn’t show through under white clothing, depending on the material. A red brief works well under white jeans, and a red bra can pair nicely with a white T-shirt with a print or a summery white knitted jumper. Be cautious with thin linen blouses, though – red can still show through, making a skin-tone bra a better choice.


A Summer Full of Colour


Summer trend colours also depend on fashion trends. One year we may see lots of neon shades, while the next might be more pastel-focused. Generally, summer is filled with lots of colour alongside the light basics.


Matching Your Outfit: Trends That Continue


A fun advantage of these colour trends is that you can match your latest dress or top in a trendy shade with a lingerie set in the same colour. How fun is it to complete your outfit with lingerie in a matching colour?


Shopping at the Best Time for Basics


Lingerie brands follow fashion trends for their colours. Basics like white, black, and skin tones are available year-round, but if you want a wide range of white or skin-tone bras, spring-summer is the best time to shop. Black bras are, of course, always available, but in autumn-winter, you’ll usually find even more variety.


With all these tips, you can make the best colour choices every season. Whether you’re looking for timeless basics or something that’s totally on-trend, the right colour lingerie completes your outfit!
