Lingerie Trends of the Season: Glitter, Statement Colors, and Wild Prints
5.5.2026 | Ann Cathrin Schach
Lingerie is meant to be noticed this season! Sparkling details, sunny colors, and confident prints define the current lingerie trends, showing that lingerie is no longer just worn under clothing. Bras, bralettes, and bodysuits are increasingly styled as part of an outfit: visible under blazers, paired with sheer tops, or as a highlight for a festival look. Three major trends stand out: sparkling glitter bras, shimmering glitter bikinis, and statement pieces in butter yellow or leopard print. Here are the most exciting styles of the season:
Glitter Bra: Glamour for Everyday, Festivals & Parties
Glitter is back, but more modern than ever. Instead of conspicuous rhinestones, current glitter bras opt for elegant, subtle effects. With our True Glam Bra and the Elva Glam Bralette, the elegant shimmer is created by tiny sequins that gently reflect the light and give the look a glamorous yet sexy touch. Particularly exciting: the adjustable straps in the décolleté, which become a true design highlight. They frame your décolleté and make the glitter bra visible even under deep necklines or sheer tops. The True Glam Bra features a proven fit with pre-formed cups and underwire, creating a beautiful silhouette and providing optimal support. If you prefer something a little more relaxed, opt for the Elva Glam Bralette: unpadded, wireless, and incredibly comfortable, without losing any sexiness. Both models combine glamour and confidence. Which is exactly what current lingerie trends are all about.
Festival Style with a Glitter Bra
Especially at festivals, the glitter bra truly shines! Imagine a look consisting of high-waisted denim shorts, an oversized denim jacket, and underneath a sparkling glitter bra in Bordeaux or Black, with its straps peeking out from the décolleté. Paired with matching boots, a few necklaces, and sunglasses. And voilà! You have the perfect festival look with a glam factor!
Glitter Bikinis: A Statement on the Beach
This season, glitter doesn't stop at lingerie, as swimwear also sparkles. For us, the glitter bikini is one of the most exciting lingerie trends when it comes to summer styles. With the Valencia Glam Cup Bikini, the effect is not created by sequins, as with the True Glam bra and Elva Glam bralette, but by metallized fibers that give the fabric an elegant, flowing shimmer. The result: A glitter bikini that shines particularly intensely in the sunlight. The colors Silver and Bronze have very different effects: Silver is reminiscent of a glittering water surface in midsummer, while Bronze has a warm, golden depth that makes your skin look particularly beautiful.
Whether by the pool, on the beach, or playing beach volleyball: A glitter bikini turns every summer moment into a small fashion statement.
Butter Yellow: Probably the sunniest trend color of the season
Among all the glamour, one color is providing a particularly fresh accent this year: light Butter Yellow. Hardly any other shade manages to be so gentle, feminine, and optimistic at the same time. Butter Yellow evokes an early summer morning, sunlight filtering through light curtains, or the creamy color of melted butter on a warm croissant. It's a shade that exudes warmth without being flashy. Subtle, yet full of charisma.
That's precisely why Butter Yellow is appearing more and more frequently in current lingerie trends. The Bralette Emilia Butter and the Bustier Freeda Butter perfectly capture this trend. The light, soft color looks particularly elegant on the skin and can be combined in many ways, such as under white blouses, sheer tops, or open shirts. Butter Yellow is therefore the antithesis of the sparkling glitter bra: less drama, more gentle elegance.
Leopard print: the must-have piece among lingerie trends
Animal prints are fashion classics, but leopard print in particular is currently enjoying a major revival. No wonder: leopard print symbolises self-confidence, strength and a touch of wildness. The new Elva bodysuits in Black and Orchid pick up on this trend and make it suitable for everyday wear. The bodysuit works not only as lingerie but also as a statement piece in an outfit. You can wear it, for example, under a blazer, paired with high-waisted jeans or a skirt.
A special detail: a bralette is already integrated into the bodysuit, so you don’t need an additional bra. This ensures comfort whilst creating a beautiful silhouette. It is precisely this combination of function and style that makes such pieces real favourites within the current lingerie trends!
Conclusion: Lingerie is meant to be seen!
This year’s lingerie trends clearly show: lingerie has long been more than just a hidden essential. A sparkling glitter bra, a shimmering glitter bikini, delicate colours like butter yellow or a confident leopard-print bodysuit – all these styles bring personality to any outfit. Lingerie is becoming a visible part of the look, a fashion statement and sometimes even the centrepiece of an entire outfit. And that is precisely the appeal of the current season: the courage to embrace sparkle, colour and character.
