8 Must-Have Pieces for your Lingerie Drawer
As a grown woman in my late 20s I have come to realise the importance of a well-stocked, lingerie drawer. It’s not big and overly fancy but does include a few great staples. Everything is well fitting and of course there are some cheeky pieces for those ‘sexy’ days. Here’s my must-have lingerie list:
1. Everyday Glamour (Push Up Dame de Paris)
A great push-up bra ensures my breasts are well supported and lifted each and every day. Take a leaf out of Marlies’ personal book and give the push-up an everyday place in your lingerie closet. Paired with everything in my wardrobe, I love the proportions it gives me! The best-selling Dame de Paris available in three all-occasion colours; black, white and red is my favourite.
2. Comfort Lingerie
A great ‘natural’ bra with a rounding shape is probably my #1 bra wish. Cue the balcony bra. It works well for just about every type of breast and comfort-wise you won’t go wrong. A balcony-bra with padding gives me extra support for all-day wear and a modest cleavage perfect for under a shirt or high-buttoning blouse (which I wear far too often).
3. Basic Knickers
In every lingerie drawer there should be a great selection of everyday knickers for you to choose from. If you’re a one-knicker women (I am talking style here) then stock up on those. I love to mix my selection up so you’ll find a few Brazilian slips, strings, Brazilian shorts and hipster knickers in there. To fill up your own knicker drawer, check out our Bottoms Promo!
4. A Signature Sexy Style
A signature, sexy bra is something that every lingerie drawer screams out for. A Friday at work followed by date night at the hottest new rooftop bar? Simply unbutton a few buttons, add a delicate necklace and a peek of your Spider Bra. Going from day to night in one swift move hasn’t been easier!
5. An On-Trend Style Set
I adore on-trend pieces of lingerie but tend to limit myself to one style piece per season. Adding colour to my lingerie drawer is especially exciting and I love that I can always trust m|d to create fun new versions of the everyday shapes I know and trust.
6. Sexy Strings
Lovers of strings are likely to have a drawer full – but rotate wearing only their favourites. Fill your drawer with just your favourites and avoid having to fish out the ‘washing day’ options.
7. Something Red
This is an obvious one. And oh! So! Sexy!
8. Your ‘ Underwear as Outerwear’ Body
Want to keep up with the hottest trend in lingerie? A body is the ultimate piece to show off as part of your outfit – not hiding underneath it. Here at m|d our bodies have been given a life of their own at music festivals, dinner parties, red carpet events and even to the office!

From the Erasmus Bridge and the Mercedes-Benz Museum to Qatar’s metro network; Ben van Berkel’s iconic landmarks bring people together in rapturous beauty, again and again. I talked with the Dutch architect and educator about sensuality, ‘healthy’ buildings and the remarkable parallels between our designs.

More than a feeling
Don’t ignore your emotions; they are much more powerful than you can imagine. By linking the magical world of emotions with hard science, Dutch scientist Pierre Capel, professor emeritus in experimental immunology, shows us the consequences of our feelings and the power of our minds. The message: we can do much more than we think. “Meditate. It’s the single best thing you can do for your health.”

Keto curious?
The fact that I feel bikini-confident all year round is, of course, a nice bonus. But for me, the biggest payoff of following the keto diet is the way it optimizes my health and gives me tons of energy.

Super (skin) food
‘If you can’t eat it, why put it on your skin?’. I pretty much live by this beauty adage. After all, with your skin being one of your body’s largest organs, anything – and I mean anything! – you put onto your skin will end up in your bloodstream.
