Sexy and sophisticated, racy lingerie is all over the runways – and it’s no surprise. Elegant, romantic fabrics like lace, silk, and chiffon have a saucy side that leaves women feeling confident and feminine.

From the Kardashians to Bella Hadid, celebrities around the world are donning lingerie in bold new ways – think lacy bodysuits, peek-a-boo bras, lace-trimmed camis, slip dresses, silky shorties, and lace-up tops. For the first time, it’s actually socially acceptable to wear your slinky nightgown to a holiday party or on an unforgettable first date.

For a classy – not trashy – look, shop the versatile styles at Avec Amour. Hong Kong’s best lingerie store is right on trend, with a range of bodysuits that are sexy and versatile enough to pair with jeans, a skirt, or an edgy leather moto jacket.

For instance, the Miami Glam Corset from Heidi Klum Intimates¹ oozes sophistication, while Stella McCartney’s Olivia Humming Bodysuit² will elevate any outfit. For sex appeal and lots of lacy details, the Stella McCartney Georgia Glowing Bodysuit³ comes highly recommended.

If you’re still warming up to the idea of wearing lingerie during the day, look for a more modest bodysuit from Maison Close, some of which offer more coverage. Another way to ease into the look is to wear a romantic body suit with high-waisted jeans or a lace-line skirt⁴ to balance out coverage or throw on a cashmere top over a peek-a-boo lace bra for just a tiny hint of what’s underneath.

And for those daring enough to bare a bit more? With its hot red hue and lace-up cleavage, Pleasure State’s Chloe Abigail Bodysuit⁵ will also turn heads.

Stocked with the most fashionable looks from leading international designers, Avec Amour⁶ Singapore Lingerie offers body suits and lingerie-inspired looks at every price point – both online and in store. So whether saving or splurging, Hong Kong women can take inspiration from the runway in everyday life.

The best part? When you wear lingerie during the day, your intimates wardrobe works double-time. Here’s to hoping the lingerie trend sticks, so we can all enjoy more guilt-free lingerie shopping.

It’s safe to say that Fifty Shades Of Grey stirred up a little something in all of us. Whether you’re just a little curious or totally turned on by BDSM, there’s nothing hotter than an open, honest, and adventurous sex life.

Share Your Fantasies

If you’re ready to take things to the next level, start with a conversation. After all, it’s usually better not to spring handcuffs and blindfolds on a person without discussing it first.

Sound daunting? Ask your partners about his or her fantasies: What are they into? Where do your fantasies overlap?

From there, you’ve opened a door to bring up what’s been on your mind. But before sneaking between the sheets, be sure to outline soft limits, hard limits, as well as a safety word.

Shop For Supplies

There’s a whole spectrum of BDSM (which stands for Bondage, Discipline, Dominance, and Submission or Sadism and Masochism), from light foreplay to heavy hitting.

If you want to do anything more than spanking, you’ll probably want to stock up on sex toys and gear to make your fantasies come true.

Aside from the obvious paddles and handcuffs, there’s a whole new world to navigate. And not all sex toys are created equal — some can actually be quite dangerous if poor quality or used improperly, so do your due diligence and only buy from reputable stores.

Avec Amour’s online lingerie shop is stocked with the Fifty Shades Of Grey signature line of accessories — think wrist ties, handcuffs, blackout blindfolds, masks, and much, much more. No matter if you shop the intimate accessories collection¹ in store or online, we promise discreet service every step of the way.

Dress The Part

Think of this arousing new adventure as the perfect excuse to fire up your wardrobe at the same time. Avec Amour is home to all kinds of sultry numbers, from corsets to crotchless panties, playsuits, cupless bras, and seductive chemises.

Both in store and online, we stock sexy lingerie collections² from high-profile brands — think L’Agent by Agent Provocateur, Pleasure State, Mimi Holliday, Nichole de Carle, Stella McCartney, and Lascivious, just to name a few.

Powering success, happiness, and work-life balance.

If your complicated convertible bra is getting you down, don’t worry: The experts at Avec Amour are here to help you find the best strapless bras in Singapore!

We’ve all been there: Tugging at a strapless bra during dinner and praying it won’t fall down as soon as you hit the dance floor. Many women think all strapless bras are created equal — but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. The best convertible strapless bras have a few things in common: A perfect fit, a textured trim, high-quality fabrics, and a smart design.

The fit is crucial: If your convertible bra doesn’t fit perfectly, it will shimmy down your back and potentially leave you exposed, or at the very least self-conscious. Don’t be surprised if your usual bra size doesn’t do the trick. Women often wear a smaller size in strapless bras, because the band is the only source of support.  Just beware that too small of a band can then become uncomfortable and worse yet, create unflattering bulges of excess skin.

The larger your bust, the more difficult it can be to find a reliable strapless bra. If you’re well-endowed, you’ll get much more support from a wider band with three to four hooks in the back. Another option is the convertible “longline” style, which has a bodice for extra support below the bust. Not only will you get maximum lift, but the bodice has a slimming effect as well.

You’ll save yourself loads of time and energy — not to mention money — if you opt for a professional bra fitting on your next trip to Avec Amour. The service is free and discreet, and will totally change your strapless bra experience.

One of Avec Amour’s top selling brands is Fine Lines Lingerie. Aimed at women on-the-go, this leading Australian brand has developed a cult following for its slip-free designs and all-day comfort. One of the brand’s most popular styles is the Satin Strapless bra¹, which converts four ways and is made with a super soft fabric. The Refined Low-Cut Strapless bra² is another fan favorite — it converts six ways (normal, cross-back, strapless, halter, normal with low back, halter with low back) and features concealed side boning for a sculpted silhouette plus a low cut front to cater to any plunge neckline. That skin-hugging strapless dress will thank you.

Once you’ve found the perfect bra and the right fit, it should last you for years to come. The next question is: How to wear a strapless bra? It’s totally up to you. Strapless bras are incredibly liberating — wear them with skimpy sun dresses, bandeaux tops, wedding gowns and, of course, with strapless dresses for those steamy date nights.

Powering success, happiness, and work-life balance.

Of all the sexy things to be found at Avec Amour, the Singapore online lingerie shop might just steal the show. Launched in September 2016, the intuitive and user-friendly shop is home to everything from saucy special occasion intimates to comfy everyday casuals.

There are a million reasons to love Avec Amour’s new website, but here are a few of the highlights:

1. International Brands You Know And Love

It’s great to see familiar faces — and Avec Amour has a reputation for bringing the most talked-about lingerie brands to Asia. The boutique’s vast collection features several top names including L’Agent by Agent Provocateur, Stella McCartney, Heidi Klum Intimates, Cosabella, Hanky Panky, and Mimi Holliday. While diverse in style, shoppers will notice that they all have a few things in common: High-quality fabrics, beautiful designs, and amazing fit.

2. Diverse Collections For Diverse Women

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach at Avec Amour. The online lingerie boutique embraces diversity, catering to all kinds of body shapes and lifestyles. After all, a 20-something student will need a style and price tag that’s completely different from that of a nursing mom, serious athlete, or bride-to-be. Avec Amour prides itself in its versatile range of intimates, stocking everything from back-to-basics everyday wear to ultra-sexy and scandalous numbers. The collections are expanding every day, so you can look forward to a constant stream of fresh new offerings in swimwear, shapewear, loungewear, sexy panties, sexy bras, and more.

3. An Intuitive Shopping Experience

Online shopping in Asia has a bad rep for a myriad of reasons — think info overload, intimidating interfaces, and unclear product descriptions. Knowing the headaches all too well, Asia’s leading lingerie boutique has taken thoughtful steps to ensure that the new site is approachable, easy-to-use, and attractive, too! Avec Amour has made it a breeze to shop online with logical search functions, clear product details, and an obvious check-out procedure that works just as well on your desktop as it does on a mobile phone.

4. Flexible Price Points For Every Budget

Do we stock some of the world’s most prestigious international lingerie brands? Yes, of course. But right alongside those special-occasion playsuits, Avec Amour offers racks of affordable brands that won’t blow up your budget. We are proud of our wide range of price tags, but one thing we won’t compromise on is quality — every brand at Avec Amour has been hand-selected by our lingerie experts based on its superior quality, fabric, and fit.

5. High-Speed Delivery To Keep Up With Your Busy Lifestyle

Gone are the days of waiting two weeks for your delivery to arrive – that’s no fun! This is why Avec Amour has introduced next-day delivery in Hong Kong. Live elsewhere in Asia? Not to worry: Avec Amour has set up five-day delivery to China, Macau, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Cambodia, Brunei, Laos, India, and Vietnam.

The perfect thong underwear: Is there such a thing?

Why yes, yes there is! Say hello to Hanky Panky, the world’s most comfortable thong – which you can now purchase at the Avec Amour lingerie boutique in Singapore!

As we all know, shopping for comfortable thongs in Hong Kong isn’t always an easy errand. But Avec Amour will have you in and out in just 10 seconds flat! How is that possible? With Hanky Panky’s famous one-size-fits-all thongs.

Known for its original low-rise lace design, Hanky Panky thongs feel invisible on your body, thanks to breathable cotton and a signature stretchy lace. They move when you do and make panty lines disappear completely, so you’ll never need to worry about bunching or unseemly wrinkles. From tight dresses to clingy knits, leggings, and even wedding dresses—you can wear anything you want with confidence.

There is so much to love about Hanky Panky. Not only do the signature lace thongs fit perfectly, but the brand itself has values that we can all get behind. Founded in 1977 by American designer Gale Epstein, Hanky Panky has always been devoted to craftsmanship since it launched more than 35 years ago. Epstein’s story is fascinating: She hand-made the very first thong design using embroidered handkerchiefs, hence the brand’s quirky name.

Since then, Hanky Panky has become the industry’s go-to thong specialist, constantly heralded as the best in the business for decades. Setting the standard for thongs, Hanky Panky has been praised by leading international magazines and newspapers for its comfortable, innovative, and high-quality thongs which no one has even been able to replicate successfully..

In 2004, the Wall Street Journal referred to Hanky Panky’s revolutionary design as “lace butter,” and Glamour Magazine continuously ranks these saucy numbers at the top of the magazine’s lingerie lists. Lacy but not too racy, these modern numbers add a touch of glam to your underwear drawer with a rainbow of colors & prints to choose from. Look for everything from pale pink to fuchsia, aqua, emerald, and everything in between.

They’re made entirely in the US, using the best materials on the market. The one-size-fits-all concept requires stretchy, soft fits—think Supima cotton fibers and knitted lace. Each thong requires more than 30 yards of thread to produce, which results in a higher number of stitches per inch and a more durable product.

Environmental responsibility is one of the core values at Hanky Panky, which is why you’ll find 100% recycled paper packaging used for all of the brand’s products. Over the years, the brand has expanded its repertoire to include lingerie, underwear, sleepwear, and more—but the lace thongs remain a staple in every savvy woman’s wardrobe.

Powering success, happiness, and work-life balance.
