Vintage-Inspired Lingerie We Love
There’s something special about vintage-inspired lingerie. It’s nostalgic, yes - but more than that, it feels powerful. Think 1940s’ glamour with cinched waists and soft satin. Or perhaps you love the pin-up silhouettes of the 50s, all curves and confidence. And there’s something forever beguiling about old Hollywood icons wrapped in lace robes, sipping coffee in soft lighting. This timeless mood is exactly what inspired our Timeless Collection. It’s vintage, reimagined for today. It's about elegant details, flattering shapes, and modern fabrics that move with you - not against you. These pieces are made to feel just as good as they look.
What Makes Lingerie Vintage-Looking?
It’s all in the details. Vintage-inspired lingerie is all about building shape. Think balconette bras that lift and open up the neckline, high-waisted briefs that smooth and define, and soft lace trims, satin panels and sheer mesh that all combine to make a delicate yet structured piece.
Unfortunately, truly vintage lingerie wasn’t designed with women's comfort in mind. That’s why Boux Avenue has reimagined the classics in modern fabrics, with thoughtful cuts and fit-first design. You’ll still find suspender belts, bras, and bodies in this collection, but with stretchier fabrics, softer finishes and inclusive fits that work for real life and real women. We’ve kept the romance - just made it easier to wear.
Boux Avenue’s Timeless Retro Lingerie
We’ve pulled inspiration from different eras to create something classic but wearable. Here’s how we’ve done vintage, the Boux Avenue way.
Soft Romance & Lace
Imagine yourself in a Paris apartment with soft morning light pouring through lace curtains. The city is quiet, just for a moment, and everything feels still and romantic. That’s where this story begins.
This trend is all about lace sets and sheer mesh details that feel light and feminine.
The Naomi Sheer Lace Balconette Set is all delicate lace and elegant structure. Designed to flatter, its scalloped edges and soft mesh keep it light and wearable. Pair it with the Matching Suspender Belt for a little added drama – perfect for channelling that effortless French-girl charm.
Vintage Corsetry Reimagined
Picture a night out that starts with a tailored blazer, heels and confidence, and ends with you looking in the mirror, feeling effortlessly stunning and comfortable.
Say goodbye to the restrictive, uncomfortable lingerie of the past and welcome bodies, corsets, bustiers designed with comfort and style in mind.
The Isla Lace Bodysuit in Lavender takes the structure of vintage corsetry and softens it. It’s detailed with satin strips to create a subtle caging effect that defines your shape, while the underwired bust gives gentle lift and support. No boning here – just smooth lines, delicate lace, and a fit that works for both layering and lounging.
Prefer classic black? The Halle Lace Bodysuit offers the same flattering feel, with no boning and a silhouette that sculpts without restriction.
Old Hollywood Glamour
Think dim lighting, a satin robe slipping off the shoulder, red lipstick on the rim of a porcelain teacup. This is your Old Hollywood moment, and it starts with the Amelia set.
Old Hollywood glamour shines through in satin robes, balconette bras and silky camis that feel both luxurious and effortless.
The Amelia Satin Cami and Robe are smooth, slinky and made for those little indulgent rituals. Whether you’re winding down or dressing up, they bring an understated glamour to everything you do. For added drama, the Jordyn Balconette Bra offers that lifted silhouette, with lace and structure that feel made for the spotlight. Style with the Matching Brief and a little perfume, then step into your main character era.
Pin-Up Revival
The music’s playing, your lipstick’s perfect, and there’s a playful confidence in the way you walk. It’s giving 1950s pin-up, but it’s a little more modern, a little more you.
This style celebrates classic elements like suspender belts, plunge and push up bras, updated with a modern twist.
The Etta Satin Balconette Bra and Matching Thong are all about shape and shine. Smooth satin meets sculpted cups, designed to lift and flatter without fuss.
The Alyssa Sheer Embroidered Plunge Bra is perfect for when you want something bold but still beautifully detailed. Its sheer finish and embroidery bring a touch of retro elegance, while the plunge design keeps it firmly in the now. Complete the look with the Matching Thong – chic, confident and totally wearable.
How to Style Your Vintage Lingerie
Vintage-looking lingerie doesn’t have to stay in the bedroom. A lace body under a white shirt? Effortless. A satin cami layered under a blazer? So chic. Even something as simple as a hint of lace at your waistband can give your outfit a lift. These pieces are made to fit into your day, not just your top drawer. The right lingerie can change how you feel about yourself. It’s subtle, but powerful.
