We have been inundated with calls enquiring about the lingerie featured on Gok Wan's, 'How To Look Good Naked' last night. The beautiful range, worn by the equally as fabulous Adele, was Foxglove by Midnight Grace.
We are pleased to say the body-confident range, is now available exclusively here at figleaves.com
Now magazine can’t get enough of us – featuring figleaves.com as THE website of the week. With a range of sizes and an extensive summer swimwear collection Now are saying shop, shop, shop. So what are you waiting for...
Closer have picked our Figleaves Swim Hot Tropics swimsuit as a must–have, one–piece with the added bonus of control for a flatter tummy; allowing for that extra bit of indulgence whilst on your hols!
Today is Bastille Day or as it is better known across the channel, Le Quatorze Juillet, the 14th of July.
The storming of the Bastille fortress, on the 14th of July, 1789 was an early turning point during the French revolution. Remembered in history as a symbolic act of rebellion against the French authorities, the event succeeded in unifying the various unhappy elements in French society; the catalyst for the revolution.
To help celebrate the occasion and the subsequent creation of the 1st French Republic, Bastille day is an official holiday in France, marked with a grand military parade along the Champs-Élysées which is presided over by the president, Monsieur Sarkozy.
Throughout the country there are various civilian parades, musical performances, communal meals, dances, balls and of course spectacular firework displays.
History lesson over, we have selected some of our favourite French pieces to aid in the festivities with our continental cousins. From Rive Gauche chic to cheeky Parisienne stripes, these lovely pieces are sure to cause a little tête-à-tête with your lingerie drawer.
Pour les femmes
Chantelle - Rive Gauche Push Up Bra
Chantelle Rive Gauche – French Knicker
Pour les Hommes
Calvin Klein X – France Hipster Trunk
(Not exactly a French brand, we know, but we love them anyway)
Whether your celebrating on the Champs-Élysées or the South Bank here in London, we hope you have a Joyeux Quatorze Juillet.

With over one million people (including our lovely mayor), expected to join tomorrow's London Pride celebrations, the UK's biggest LGBT event, we thought it only fair to find a pair of undies that would fit the occasion.
Having ransacked the menswear department, again, I have come up with a couple of items that I think would be perfect.
These Alpha Male boxer trunks from figleaves, are easily styled to get your message across. Designed from a luxury cotton/ modal blend, the simple detailing and fun slogan make them a statement piece; ideal for any occasion.
These Hom Colour Therapy trunks are one of our best-sellers. The funky colour (my personal favourite), is styled in a low rise, hipster cut. The short cut legs offer flexibility and a no-fly, front pouch offers added support. Perfect for comfort, 24-7.
If you're heading out to the celebrations in Soho tomorrow, all of us here at figleaves hope you have a wonderful time. Fingers crossed for the weather.
