The secret M&S lingerie line you've probably never heard of but need to know about
With the year anniversary of the beginning of lockdown fast approaching, there's no better time to lift your spirits with a gorgeous gift-to-self. And we've got just the ticket.
While you're probably more familiar with the Autograph by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley collab, link url="https://cna.st/affiliate-link/3XBo9W39MuhaXcUV33e4EVBj4JdBfjPt2of14G1o4HY9Yxn8oDpqfFbB77sCvoaRJDuSZGZzf4Rng4xdUFMgLuP8wSNdxQZ4MedHswBCWoQQtZo?cid=61389228aa3b5acf3b0db9d2 nofollow="true"]M&S' Boutique lingerie collection[/link] is where it's at. Boutique has sold 1.7m units since launching and prides itself as being super size inclusive offering from 28A-42H (bras){: rel="sponsored" isAffiliateLink="true"} and 6-28 (knickers).
Following from the successful launch of M&S' Boutique lingerie collection last year, the British high street brand has teamed up with guest designer Damaris Evans - founder of luxury lingerie labels Damaris and Mimi Holliday - to curate the SS21 lingerie edit of dreams. And you're going to want every piece.
Inducing a pastel party in your underwear drawer, the collection is not only a celebration of British design (it teams over 90 years' worth of M&S lingerie expertise with the creative flair of the esteemed Damaris Evans) but a sure-fire way to help you feel confident and empowered as you step out into the real world this spring. No matter your size or lingerie style preference.
The contemporary and trend-led eight-piece edit marries soft apricot mesh with vibrant pops of yellow and delicate lace embroidery. Think the fun and flirty aesthetic of M&S' boutique label tied seamlessly with Damaris' signature playful colour combinations. There's a long-line bralette, high and low-rise knickers, a versatile cami set, a sexy suspender and a mixture of both padded and wireless bras. Something for every mood. Plus, Marks & Spencer ensure that 100% of the cotton for M&S clothing is now more sustainably sourced (including cotton sourced as BCI Cotton), so you don't need to feel guilty about your purchase.
Lingerie Queen Damaris Evans said of the collection: “As a British designer, and a lifelong loyal customer of M&S, it was an honour to be invited to work on the fresh new Boutique brand. Since the launch of my collections in 2001, I have dreamed of collaborating with M&S, to contribute high fashion design for the iconic brand that resonates with so many women I speak to.
"Most of us have owned a piece of lingerie from the brand at some point in our lives, so it’s a privilege to become part of that history. Working alongside the incredibly talented in-house team has been a fun and exciting partnership, and I love everything the Boutique brand encompasses. We have all worked hard to deliver an inclusive collection that incorporates my fashion forward handwriting with the fun and flirty Boutique aesthetic. I hope you enjoy wearing it as much as we all enjoyed creating it!”

Soozie Jenkinson, Head of Lingerie Design at M&S, added: “Following the successful launch of Boutique last year, we were delighted to welcome guest designer Damaris Evans to collaborate with us on our Summer collections. Working together with Damaris we have explored some gorgeous new styles, shapes and design details for Summer 21 which will appeal to customers looking for pretty, playful and lacey styles in stunning colours.
"This marks the first of several lingerie collections for Boutique that Damaris has designed in collaboration with the M&S team with the next collections launching in May."
The Boutique X Damaris lingerie collection launches online and in selected stores from Thursday 18th March and will be available in sizes 28A-42H and 6-28.
