The exciting 2010 Collections of the leading names in swimwear, lingerie, hosiery, shapewear, sleepwear and activewear design have taken their cue from the very latest in local and international fashion trends for women, men and kids to create up-to-the-minute designs that still deliver on comfort and practicality. Innovation coupled with sophisticated design, particularly in womens shapewear and mens compression wear is an emerging and rapidly expanding category and black and white is back, together with grey tones and shades of off-white, in everything from womens swimwear and lingerie to mens pjs and underwear.

Swimwear

This season delicate, muted florals sit easily alongside bold colours and patterns and shimmering, sensual metallics in womens swimwear design. The Jets Swimwear Collection runs the gamut of influences from the vintage floral of "Kyoto Garden" to the ultra-modern 70s themed 'Denim Anthology'. As the name suggests, 2Chillies' Mexican-inspired designs have taken up the trend to the ultra feminine with the liberal addition of broderie anglaise while Baku uses stripes, plain bolds, exotic prints and metallics together with touches of frills and ruching to give a great fit with pizazz . Seafolly again demonstrate their 30 plus years of experience at the forefront of Australian swimwear design with fashionable, sun safe swimwear for all the family. Seafolly Girl is a gorgeous range of delicious designs for little misses and the Tiger Joe range for boys includes a great choice of rashies and boardies. Bond-eye, Funky Trunks, Funkita and Cupid Girl all have their eyes on the practical (for mum and dad) and the fashionable (for the kids) in childrens swimwear and accessories.

These days mens swimwear options are almost as diverse womens swimwear. 2Chillies has created the ultimate Aussie Cossie Boardshort in microfibre lycra for the true-blue blokes while Funky Trunks lives up to its name with briefs and trunks in a choice of colourful geometrics. Jets Man goes for the new season's black and white look for their board shorts, boyleg, briefs and trunks with an emphasis on racers in both contemporary and retro cuts.

Lingerie

Think feminine, think flattering - that's the key message in lingerie this season. Cut, style and fashion are integral and when paired with a colour palette that runs from the merest hint of rose pink to bold magenta to complement and contrast this season's focus on classic blacks and whites, that's the look for 2010! The black and white story is everywhere and whether separated or combined in fine polka dots, ginghams and sophisticated checks and an assortment of complementary trims, the feel is vintage, yet contemporary.

The always elegant Pleasure State introduces exclusive new generation woven fabrics into some of their pieces for a more tailored look to their high luxe collection. Lovable uses the season's colours across their collection, from everyday styles like the Ultrasonic Boyshort with fused waistband to the pretty Dominique line that includes French Knickers in black/blush (add a matching bra to complete the set) and with Jennifer Hawkins as the brand's ambassador, Lovable remains top of mind with its loyal customers. Esprit, exclusively available online at Trixan Body and always superb value for money, sprinkles powder greys and taupes into soft florals, goes bold with fresh ginghams and adds trim detail in lace, satin and ribbon. Both Fantasie and Freya have produced beautiful and contemporary collections of bras for women with larger cup sizes. Fine Lines brings something different - the 5 Way Convertible Bra and 5 Way Contour Bra (both with seamless cups), the convertible Plunge Bustier and, for truly special occasions, the new strapless and backless Back Off Bra.

Underwear

The style, cut and comfort we have come to associate with Bonds is all here in another impressive collection of womens vests, crop-tops and singlets as well as full and control briefs, maternity, bikini, hi-cut, boyleg and hipster pants. Men can choose from side seam, no-tag trunks, stretch woven boxers and classic Bonds briefs, trunks, boxers, tees, singlets and undershirts.

Jockey's Collection for men includes both Knit Boxer and Woven Cotton Boxer while for women, different pant styles and cuts come in all the latest tones of dusk, black, white, charcoal and vanilla. Their popular womens Almost Nothing line is made from eco-friendly bamboo fabric and has the bonus of being seamfree and anti-bacterial.

Calvin Klein has added a splash of dash to its classic mens underwear with the Everyday Trunk in Country Stripe and the Relaunch Boxer brief in black, white or grey heather. Black and white and black lace dominates the womens range while Kayser briefs, renowned for catering for every woman's tastes and body shape, also showcase this season's colour statement. Speedo Underbody too sticks to the black and white and gingham themes adding contrast to its vibrant palettes for women while racers, seamfree trunks with compression lines, classic trunks and briefs and the new low brief in jungle check print are in for the men.

Hosiery

Hosiery is definitely the new 'must have' status symbol in a woman's wardrobe and completes the Autumn look. Indeed, 'Legwear' has never looked so exciting! Brands like Kayser, Holeproof , Voodoo, Sheer Relief, Leona Edmiston and Levante deliver new season looks that cover everything from the funky and frivolous to the comfortable and controlling as well as high-end glamour in a variety styles that include knee highs, tights, skinny pants leggings, stay ups, footless tights and fishnets. 2010 is definitely the 'Year of the Leg' with such an extensive choice of hosiery options from all of the leading brands and designers.

Shapewear

Shapewear continues to grow rapidly into a unique category that has expanded from womens wear to encompass compression wear for men. Pioneered by Equmen, the latest mens range uses high-performance technologies to create undergarments that not only optimise the body but also provide built in support that can assist with posture and gait by incorporating Equmen's exclusive Helix-Mapping technology into their range of tops, trunks and briefs.

Womens shapewear continues to innovate and delight using new technologies and cutting edge design to deliver the full spectrum of body sculpting options. Diversifying into glamorous evening attire and everyday active wear, the new season's shapewear includes camisoles, bike shorts, briefs, bodysuits and hip slips as well as a variety of pants to flatter the thigh, hip, bottom and tummy. Brands like Spanx, Nancy Ganz, Trinny and Susannah and the skimming, smoothing styles of Nearly Nude have advanced shapewear significantly into an ever-evolving choice of body-sculpting wear made from comfortable, breathable fabrics that control and flatter and bear all the hallmarks of contemporary, sophisticated design.

Two of the latest fabric developments being hailed across most fashion categories have the double benefit of being luxuriously soft next to the skin and made from naturally breathable fibres which makes them ideal for activewear, shapewear, compression wear and underwear. Fabrics woven with bamboo yarn cool the body by drawing moisture away from the skin, are fully machine-washable and have inherent anti-bacterial properties. Bamboo fabric is easy care but has the beautiful texture of cashmere and Model fabric, derived from the cellulose in beech trees, has the draping qualities of rayon, is anti-crease and naturally hypo-allergenic.

Activewear

Fitness and fashion do not have to be mutually exclusive! Shorts come in kick, running, sport and tight styles. Capri pants, yoga pants and kickbox pants all have their specific purposes and not all singlets are the same! Running Bare has interpreted what women want in activewear and translated that into creating many fashionable and comfortable styles and designs.Trixan Body also stock a great range of sports bras, including the Berlei Sports Bra, to complete the "working out girls wardrobe". There's also plenty of choice in training swimwear from Funkita and Funky Trunks and in the glamorous and ultra chic Jets collection.

Sleepwear

Black, white and shades of pink have also crossed over into womens sleepwear in the new collections. Long pant/top sets, long camis, cami tops and short sets all feature this season's predominant colour themes and come in a variety of fabrics including satin, cotton and silk. Gingerlily adds vibrant mauve tones to the mix and their Delux slips with adjustable straps are pretty and practical. Purchase any item in the Gingerlily range and it will be delivered in a beautiful box complete with a fabric cover that matches the sleepwear inside! Great gift idea for someone special - and take a look at their cute kids pjs too!

Mens sleepwear ranges each carry the unique stamp of their brand. Sloth away the weekend in Jockey's lounge pant for men - absolute cool comfort. The GL look for men this season is all about broad stripes, checks and geometrics while Coast does cruisy summer short lounge sets and Ben Sherman's Chillwear Collection is just what it says it is!
