Chantelle Chic ~ White Lingerie

I’ve been in Cabo now for just one week. Perhaps it’s the familiarity of this place for me after several years, but I have begun to notice innuendos of this environment. Past the vegetation and margarita Sundays exists an elegant idyll. For the last few days a bleached light has permeated the atmosphere. The sky is coated with a canopy of alabaster clouds. The beach is serene; the sand cool to the touch and one almost doesn’t need sunglasses to see. There’s an easy breeze. It feels comfortable and pure. It will not rain and I know it will change. The sun doesn’t mask itself very long on this Mexican headland, but for the moment, the understatement is very peaceful. White has a way of softening the tone.

Maybe that is why this clear fresh color is so accepted in the European Lingerie wardrobe. Here in the USA, we like our underwear to “blend”. White bras have been an anathema forever; but with the influence of French intimates on the North American landscape, there is a sea change in the air. One of the best is from Chantelle’s spring 2016 offer of white bras and panties. I count at least 10 separate collections anchored in this pristine hue. Pictured here, the new Escalante demi (30-44, C-G) and the Révѐle Moi 4 part bra (30-42, DD-H), excellent summer wardrobe solutions. I refer to this profusion of white as Chantelle Chic; beautiful design details integrated with award winning fit that together create a sense of well-being and quiet beauty for the woman who understands the color of perfection.
