Floral lingerie features flower-inspired designs, including embroidery, prints, appliqué and floral lace. The look can range from subtle patterns in a single colour to bright, contrasting blooms across cups, briefs and bodysuits.

Floral describes the design, while embroidered describes how a detail is made. Floral lingerie can feature printed flowers or flower-patterned lace as well as embroidery. Embroidered lingerie can include flowers, but also other motifs such as hearts, birds and decorative patterns.

Start with the colours and shapes you already enjoy. Small flowers and soft shades can create a delicate look, while larger blooms and contrasting colours make more of a statement. If you usually wear black, a black set with floral details is an easy way to explore a little colour.

Floral doesn’t have to mean frilly. If you prefer a simpler look, try flowers in a single colour, subtle embroidery or a black base with just a few floral details.
