Loungewear has seen better days of late (onesies, anyone?) and with the autumn/winter season looming, it’s time to up the ante with something a little more luxe.

We can’t get enough of Claire Judge’s vintage-inspired lingerie label Alöe and now they've teamed up with high street favourite & Other Stories to launch a capsule collection of cooly elegant lingerie and loungewear inspired by ballet dancewear.
A Central Saint Martin’s graduate, Claire launched her label in 2003 and has since gone on to garner interest from an impressive celebrity clientele including Sarah Jessica Parker, Kate Moss and Gisele.
And with this Co-lab collection, it’s easy to see why.

With their neutral colour palette and soft washed fabrics, the loungewear pieces are designed be layered over the lingerie with widely cut necklines to expose the coloured ribbon straps of camisoles and bras reflecting Claire’s vision that 'stylish lingerie should be worn to be seen, not hidden away.'

We couldn’t agree more.
The Alöe Co-lab collection will be available in stores and at stories.com from 22 August 2013.
