Autumn reveals its softer side, so why not curl up in delicate laces and soft knits in muted shades of berry, amethyst, toffee and tobacco? Choose bejewelled, embroidered or layered over a contrasting colour, blacks and berries undoubtedly dominates this season, lending a theatrical look to the autumn lingerie collections.

Attention to detail ? look at the intricate embroidery, delicate overlays, keyholes, boning and slim satin ribbons incorporated in lingerie items giving this season's special occasion lingerie a handcrafted feel.Stronger than summer's pastels, this season's deep blues feature in many of the best fashion pieces

But remember - ensure you are wearing the right size bra, so that you get excellent support and an impressive flattering shape. Stick to smooth bras for wearing under fitted or sheer tops as these are best for not showing through these coloured tops.

Wear streamline or fitted shapes - more flattering than baggy clothes. Choose tops with seams or darts under the bust - these will define your waist and make you look slimmer.
