The Press Is Obsessed (And Honestly, Fair)

For knickers with style and substance, it has to be Stripe & Stare. The female-founded brand’s range of underwear, bras and pyjamas are designed for style and comfort.

When luxe pyjama brand Stripe & Stare announced a collaboration with Rixo, all of its pyjamas went straight on our wishlist.

If you’re looking for a gift that feels genuinely special (and not at all last-minute), I can’t recommend Stripe & Stare pyjamas enough. I own several pairs of these, and honestly, I don’t think any others compare.

Florals not your bag when it comes to a tea dress or blouse? Try wearing them on your knickers.

When recently sorting out my underwear drawer during a stint of pre-spring cleaning, I was amazed (and slightly horrified) to discover I’d been hoarding more than 20 bras stretching (literally) back a decade or so…

There's just something about de-shedding; it feels like the ultimate act of self care. That moment of transition is truly unmatched IMO. I love a good loungewear set or tracksuit, too, but a pair of snuggly PJs hits different, doesn't it?

Like the iconic underwear they make, Stripe & Stare's bras are made of that supremely soft fabric the brand is utterly adored for. I love the lace detailing of this style, it makes it feel like I'm wearing special-occasion lingerie as opposed to something ‘everyday’, and yet it's unbeatably comfortable.

Katie Lopes, co-founder of Stripe & Stare, agrees: “Wired bras can create a very localised compression, especially under the breast root and along lymphatic pathways, so if you’re wearing them all day every day, that pressure and friction can start to add up. 

With a touch of lace and tons of fun colors, it's anything but grandma-y. Plus, it's so soft and comfy, I actually want to wear it all day. I've even slept in it-it's full coverage but feels buttery smooth and cozy.
