Trend Alert! Under the Sea: Aquatic-Inspired Mermaid Lingerie

I love doing trend features. Even though they age rapidly (a few seasons at most) there's something so special and so fun about their brief appearance. The fact that lingerie trends aren't expected to be around very long allows for a sense of whimsy and creativity, a "blink and you'll miss it" moment of something you might never see again.

Like many a child born in the 80s, Disney's The Little Mermaid was the first movie I saw in theaters, and I immediately fell in love with all things mermaid for many years thereafter. The idea of being part of a secret underground (or underwater, as the case may be) world? Yes, please! Sign me up!

Featuring tentacles, coral, jellyfish, and seaweed, the pieces in this post capture that undersea vibe perfectly with underpinnings for the mermaids, nymphs, sea witches, and sirens among us. Mermaid lingerie, indeed!
