As is traditional at this time of year, this month we’re focusing on pretty underthings. The older I get, the more I realise how important it is to get the foundations of your outfit right first.

Your style questions answered
Q. I am a 34D and I am wearing a dress with a very low back to an event in a few weeks. I don’t feel comfortable going without a bra, but I don’t want to have the band showing. What are my bra options? A. Perhaps the most feared of the formal looks are […]
