The spring-summer collection of Marie Jo L’Aventure takes you on a trip through South America. Both the color palette and the graphic lines used in the collection were inspired by the work of Mexican architect Louis Barragan. With sleek designs, fashionable prints, surprising combinations and a range of fantastic fits, Marie Jo L’Aventure makes a statement. Daring lingerie for strong women!
Discover the animal print 4.0
The animal print has been conquering fashion hearts for seasons. This spring the trendy print gets a new twist at Marie Jo L’Aventure. The Marie Jo L’Aventure Xavier lingerie series combines a striking Italian lace with animal print with a contrasting print fabric. An absolute must-have is the trendy triangle bra in this series: a cosy, lace bra without underwire that proves that sexy and comfy really can go together.
Marie Jo L’Aventure William is also summer lingerie with a subtle animal print in light pink. The smooth bras in this lingerie series are the ideal T-shirt bras under light summer tops, blouses and dresses. The studs on the shoulder straps immediately give your look an edgy and tough allure.
Top in graphic lace
Bras with the looks of a top are totally on-trend this spring. The Marie Jo L’Aventure design team went in search of a way to integrate the support and comfort of a regular underwire bra into a trendy top. With success! This is proven by the lace top in the L’Aventure Ricardo series. The graphic lace conjures up a beautiful play of lines on your skin: sporty and sensual at the same time.
Summery pied de poule
In addition to the animal print, the plaid motif is also a stayer this season, as the Marie Jo L’Aventure José series proves. The oversized pied-de-poule print in poppy pink will instantly put a smile on your face. Pure feel-good lingerie… And what’s more, these smooth bras and panties can also be worn invisible under light summer outfits. But don’t hide those poppy shoulder straps! They’ll give your outfit that extra punch.
Minimalist chic
Pure designs, out-of-the-box inspiration and clean lines are in the DNA of Marie Jo L’Aventure. This summer the lingerie brand surprises with a new, minimalist chic line: Marie Jo L’Aventure Louie in a timeless pink and taupe hue. It is light, comfortable lingerie, with a quirky sexy and elegant twist.
Less is definitely more with this series. The designs excel in unexpected material combinations: a super soft microfibre fabric is combined with transparent tulle. Don’t miss the innovative spacer bra of this Marie Jo L’Aventure Louie. It is the perfect summer bra in a feather-light, high-tech fabric and with a top fit that flatters every woman.
It’s almost time for Spring Break! The next few weeks will see students from all over hitting the road with family and friends to take a week off and relax. If you’re taking advantage of the time off to visit a warmer climate, keep these lingerie essentials in mind while you’re packing:
1. MULTIWAY BRA
When space is at a premium (whether you’re stuffing a group of people into one car or just trying to pack light on the plane), a multiway bra is invaluable. Straps that are convertible or removable make it easy to wear one bra with a variety of styles like strapless dresses, racerback tanks, and halter tops, so you don’t have to pack separate a bra for each outfit. Just make sure to pack more than one – each bra needs at least a day between wearings to let the elastic “rest.”
2. SWIMSUIT
I know, I know: total no-brainer. But it would be awful to forget it! For the most flattering fit this year (not to mention the best support), try ordering a bikini that comes in bra sizes.
3. LINGERIE WASH
You never know what will happen on Spring Break! Maybe you’ll get caught in a downpour. Or get seaweed in your bikini. Or fall in the mud while tossing a football. So bring some lingerie detergent with you in case you have to wash up your lingerie and swimwear mid-trip. I like Soak – it’s ridiculously convenient. Just soak and hang to dry (hang on your hotel balcony to give the boys a tease!).
4. CUTE PJS
Chances are, you’ll be sharing a hotel room, cottage, or campsite with other people. This is a good time to upgrade your bedtime wardrobe. Here at TLP we never encourage you to wear saggy sweatpants and holey t-shirts to bed, but especially when other people are there to see!
5. SOMETHING THAT MAKES YOU FEEL AWESOME
I know women who always travel with a cocktail dress, even if they have no plans for a nice dinner or glam party. They want to be prepared for any invitation. Same idea here – you never know who you’ll meet or what you’ll be invited to, so it’s always a good idea to bring a versatile bustier or a favorite bra that gives you jaw-dropping cleavage just in case.
