This Brand Is Making The Most Perfect Summer Outfits That You Won’t Want To Stop Wearing

I’m willing to admit that, for years, I didn’t understand the power of well-fitting underwear; if it was vaguely comfortable, I didn’t mind. The moment I found Lounge, the British brand founded in 2016, this all changed. Suddenly, I realised that perfectly fitting underwear could change how I felt in my clothes for the better and it really was true: it can make or break an outfit. Something even more exciting? The all-female design team have taken their expertise around fit, contouring and generally understanding a woman’s body and applied it to ready-to-wear, too. Now, we can all have the perfect fit from head-to-toe.

For summer, Lounge has a range of collections to suit every kind of plan. My favourite is the British Garden range, which is full of easy-to-wear pieces which will elevate any outfit. The red checked maxi skirt, for example, will make a white tee and trainers look more exciting than ever, or you could dress it up with the brand’s excellent corset top for a picnic outfit that will win the day. The top is a perfect example of Lounge applying its incredible craftsmanship to clothing, rooted in the technicalities required to design brilliant lingerie; it will give you a perfect silhouette without sacrificing comfort.

Of course, there is lingerie, too, in the British Garden collection, including a perfect balcony bra and matching thong, both of which will add a dash of luxury to your everyday outfits. Some of the prettiest clothes in the same range include a sheer asymmetric top and matching maxi skirt, which is perfect for throwing over your pretty Lounge underwear.

More excitingly, the British label has launched its debut footwear collection, including some of the year’s best summer shoes. From the chic square-toe flip-flops to the wear-with-everything kitten heels, these sandals are made of the highest quality leather in Portugal, rivalling some of the biggest design houses.

Whether you’re going for gingham, on the hunt for the perfect ballet flats or need an easy outfit that’s also high impact, Lounge is the brand you need to bookmark now. After all, when the secret’s out, you’ll be hard-pressed to add these pieces to your basket before they sell out.
