Marie Jo Twists the Timeless Trend that is Bluejeans

Everyone has a pair of bluejeans in their closet. In fact, if you're like most people, you have a few. This is because the look of jeans can go from classic, to stylish, to trendy and more. And what never fails is that a dark navy makes us look good.

So, can a lingerie design do the same thing for under those classics? Well, Marie Jo thinks so and Marie Jo's new design, the Robbie, proves it.

The Robbie, by Marie Jo, is a new take on the navy trend that combines a handsome design with a feminine feel. The Robbie is made from an ultra-soft microfibre that feels sumptuous on and offers tone-on-tone stripes both on the top and bottom. Semi-transparent in places, opaque in others, Marie Jo's Robbie hints at what's underneath without giving it all away.

Find the Robbie by Marie Jo in sizes 32-40, cups A-D and make sure to check out the matching bottom in both a brief and a thong in sizes M-XXL.

A New Take on the Look of Lace by Marie Jo

Lace and embroidery are hot, hot, hot this summer and these details inspired the Flynn, by Marie Jo L'Aventure. The Flynn is a contemporary take on these details and it certainly isn't going to be confused with your grandmother's underthings.

The Flynn is available in flamingo - a hip colour that will definitely stand out in your drawers and goes well with pastels. Marie Jo calls this the "perfect t-shirt bra" so if you're looking for something that will be invisible under your thin, summer fabrics, this is the one for you.

Less is More in the Latest Marie Jo L'Aventure

Some women are looking for the basics, and the basics are okay, but we like it when the basics are kicked up a notch, like with this new design by Marie Jo L'Aventure. In this line, the Clark, Mari Jo shows us that basics with a flare can be best.

The Avero - in Blue Bijou

The Marie Jo Avero is one of our best-selling bras - so much so, we've kept it in stock for years. You'll know the Avero from its classic tone-on-tone, checkered pattern on the cup and a striking, flowered strap. These are the straps you want to let slip out from your neckline.

This season we've brought in the Avero by Marie Jo in the fashion colour bleu bijou. And Marie Jo has kicked the design up a notch by adding rhinestones to the center of each flower on the straps.

The Avero is a seamless, underwire cup, which is one of the reasons it's so popular - it provides a smooth look under even thin fabrics. It's a formed cup, but it's not padded. The result is great support and gorgeous, round breasts.

Find this timeless and yet modern look in sizes 32-38, cups A-D.

Marie Jo's Dante, in Ivory

Many women know about the "t-shirt" bra. It's a bra with a molded cup. It provides a flattering shape with a little bit of padding on the cup. It's perfect under thin fabrics where a smooth silhouette is a must.

But one of the downsides with a molded cup is that some of them can be a bit stiff and so finding a perfect fit can be tricky. This is not a problem with the Mario Jo Dante as its molded cup is soft and supple against the skin.

The brand new Marie Jo Dante is in a classic ivory and features embroidered details both at the top and in between the cups. The straps are split for a unique look.

The Dante is available in 32-36 cups A-C with matching brief bottoms.

New Marie Jo L'Aventure - Maximus

We're starting to see more of our spring and summer fashion pieces arriving through the doors of Secret Drawers Lingerie. This week it's Maximus by Marie Jo L'Aventure.

This is a classy look with a twist. The Maximus stays contemporary with tone-on-tone gray colouring and a subtle print on the cup.

Marie Jo's little surprise is found on its split straps: freely moving round and cylindrical beads. This touch of whimsy, only seen up close, reminds us that even a charcoal gray suit needs a flash of fun.

We're carrying this seasonal piece up to an F cup and have matching panty and thong available.

Are you Jane? (by Marie Jo)

The last time Marie Jo Haute Lingerie came up we mentioned that each of their pieces requires 25 to 30 minutes of manual work, which is 25% to 50% more than the average in the lingerie industry. I hate to repeat myself, but Jane by Marie Jo proves these facts are true, yet again.

In Marie Jo's words:

Jane's body speaks of class thanks to the filmy embroidery, which gives her curves a gentle, sensual sheen.

And really, I couldn't say it better myself. This luxurious set comes in the burgundy seen in the image. We're carrying the smooth, molded cup which looks great under everything from a t-shirt to a silk blouse, and as always, it is available in a range of sizes.

Because the cup is smooth the embroidery frames every inch of the cup. This provides a scalloped edge against the skin producing striking lines. This is breathtaking lingerie that demands your attention. It's a look that cannot be missed.
