Love yourself this Valentine’s Day, and beyond

By Chloe - 17:30

Sexy and sophisticated, courageous and calculated, Valentine’s Day encourages us to look our best, but maybe it’s more important to feel our best more days out of the year. A great set of underwear can be powerful – it can change you in ways that would surprise even the wisest of women. It’s time to trust your heart and feel goodas many days of the year as possible.

Your everyday lingerie should comprise of things that you make you feel your best self – whether that’s a purposefully insensible twin-set or your favourite comfy sports bra. Supple satin, luxurious self-indulgent silk or the bralette you like wearing on days around the house – choice helps curate your life. Decadence, practicality, prettiness or comfort the choice is yours. Whilst investing in your favourite style of underwear or a selection of new pieces to add to your collection may seem trivial, transient or temporary, it’s an enjoyable extravagance that should not simply be limited to special occasions like Valentine’s Day.

We all naturally gravitate towards pieces that reflect our mood, or what we have planned for the day. Pulling on your favourite style of underwear – whether that be colourful lace Brazilians, neutral cotton hipster briefs that accentuate your curves or a high waisted thong, underwear should help you bloom and feel your most comfortable, confident self. Sinking into your bed after a long day, slipping into a hot bath or taking a sip of a warm drink, putting on some lingerie and feeling good is obviously another one of life’s simpler pleasures. Why would you want to limit that feeling simply to one singular day? 

This isn’t to say Valentine’s Day isn’t great – what a fabulous time to look forward too after the dreariness that is January. It’s amazing that we all come together to celebrate the most wonderful of human emotions: simple, silly, love. The love we have for other people, whether that be our partner, or our best friends. But this year, alongside the other stuff, let’s make it a celebration of personal love. Love you, for YOU. Feel incredible in what you wear. Then, to top it off, let’s then make every day, self-love day. Although, if that’s a bit tough, settle for a confidence boost on a Monday or a smile in the mirror by Friday. 

So, what’s the moral of the story? Self-love is all the more important in 2019. Social media is rife with doctored images; erased stretch marks, tooflawless skin and cleverly edited figures so that perfectly normal tummy rolls aren’t seen. But enough is enough – self-love is the new in thing so it’s time to celebrate yourself this Valentine’s Day every day.
