Hello. This is Kimura from the ApparelX Trend Blog.

The days are already feeling like summer, and I miss the brief period of pleasant spring weather.

This time, before the really hot weather arrives, we'll introduce "lingerie-like fashion," which is also a trend in layered fashion!

What is lingerie-like fashion?

"Lingerie-like fashion," a fashion trend for 2025-2026, is a style that incorporates lace, satin, and delicate straps—materials previously used only for lingerie and innerwear—into everyday wear, deliberately highlighting them as visible designs.

Another trend often cited as its origin is the minimalist fashion of the 1990s. In particular, British model Kate Moss is known as an iconic figure who established satin, delicate straps, lace trim, and slip dresses as "street wear, not loungewear."

It's not just about being sexy; it's being proposed by a wide range of brands, linking it to sheer materials, high fashion, Y2K, and romantic tastes.

Trendy outfit: "Layered look"

Current lingerie fashion is not about the "underwear feel" of the garment itself, but rather the "layered" look.

Rather than excessive exposure, boxy styles are predominantly used for creating a relaxed look or layering. For example, details such as jackets paired with lace camisoles, T-shirts with bustiers, denim with satin, and sheer tops with bralettes are characteristic of this style, as are the mixed materials used in styling. In particular, black and smoky colors (such as soft pink, ice blue, and citrus yellow in the 2026 SS trend colors), and matte materials with reduced shine are becoming more common, and this trend is spreading across mode, street, and feminine styles.

Recommended lingerie-like items

The focus of the trend is on materials and accessories that evoke a sense of "delicacy."

From among these, we will introduce recommended products made from lace, satin, textile fabrics, and other materials.

lace material

It features delicate patterns and sheer fabrics reminiscent of vintage lingerie.

raschel lace , Leavers lace, and tulle embroidery would be suitable.

SIC-7912 River Trimming lace/ 50mm

SIC-7928 River Trimming lace/ 65mm

SIC-7403 Stretch Trimming lace / 28mm

This Leavers lace series is recommended for trendy satin lace camisoles, which are the easiest to incorporate into lingerie-like fashion and are easy to layer. Changing the lace design depending on the brand image and concept will also change the atmosphere, so it's a good idea.

What is Leavers lace ?
Leavers lace is a type of high-quality, delicate lace made on a 19th-century "Leavers" loom.
This is a prime example of classic lace, often used in high-end French and Japanese lingerie.

Satin material

The subtle sheen and drape characteristic of lingerie are popular. Since the trend is "layering < lingerie use," we will introduce items that are relatively thin and have a flowing surface rather than those with functional features such as see through prevention.

SLK160 pure silk Satin 16 momme

This is a high-quality 16 momme satin silk textile made in Japan, available in 45 color variations. Recommended for dresses and blouses, this silk satin is also perfect for use as a compact inner layer that comes into direct contact with the skin.

41117 polyester Satin

A slightly thin satin made of 100% polyester. This standard material is characterized by its luster and soft feel.

52363 Glow Tint Satin

This elegant satin fabric uses bright monofilament for the warp threads, resulting in a wet-look sheen that changes color depending on the viewing angle.

The bouncy, elastic texture creates a supple silhouette, making it ideal for longer garments as well.

KKF2660 Acetate Melon Vintage Satin

This sustainable material uses acetate. In addition to its appearance features such as a silky sheen, vibrant colors, and suppleness, it also boasts excellent moisture absorption and quick-drying properties, ensuring comfortable wear at all times.

Dry cleaning is recommended, but hand washing is also possible.

KKF7494GS Platinum Split Fiber Satin Airflow

This satin fabric features a smooth drape and a wet-look sheen, achieved by using 20d split yarn for the warp and 75d live thread for the weft.

The textile's sheen looks even more beautiful when it's in motion, so please be sure to check out the introductory video posted on the product page!

Sheer material

Sheer fabrics, which create a translucent look, continue to be a trend. Their lightweight feel and flowing, nuanced design are popular.

2440 Palette Organza

This is a basic, wide- wide width polyester organza fabric available in a wide variety of over 190 colors.

It features a moderate firmness and body, as well as a granular sheen on the textile surface known as the "sand effect."

KKF4009-W Soft Chambray organza wide width

This chambray organza, made with 15d yarn, features a delicate sheen and transparency.

This item has a soft and supple texture, and a light, airy feel while still maintaining a sense of structure, resulting in an elegant, sheer look.

NN007-SP Air Fabric Metallic Sputtering

This fabric is woven with ultra-fine polyester thread and features a metal sputtering process (a process that applies a thin metal film), resulting in a textile so light it feels almost weightless, as if you're not wearing any fabric at all.

By layering metal films at the nanoscale, we have achieved a metallic sheen and color without altering the texture or weight at all.

The delicate texture and thinness of the textile make it soft to the touch, and this unparalleled ultra-thin organza can be used in endless ways, not only for dresses and skirts, but also for corsages and more.

SIC-117 sandwashed surface organza Ribbon

This is a delicate, shimmering organza ribbon with a sandwashed surface weave.

The material is 100% nylon, and the ribbon has a rough, textured surface.

1210 Center Satin organza

This organza ribbon possesses both the trendy glossy and sheer qualities.

Combining satin textile with the satin material in the center section would likely enhance the design.

HW-3036 organza Frill Gold Glitter Stretch Tape

This stretch tape features a feminine look with its nylon/polyurethane frills.

It's also recommended for design accents such as the hem and trim.
