Marsala and Lingerie

Pantone Color of the Year 2015

Pantone has chosen Marsala as the 2015 Color of the Year. This color has been gracing shop windows, magazine colors and fashion blogs for about a month now and although you can easily find makeup, accessories or outerwear in this shade, what about lingerie? Which brands carry this sumptuous shade of red and do I have to break the bank to find it?

Aubade - Russian Cancan - Luxurious Marsala

Although Aubade has only released it's Fall/Winter 2014 calendar, there are still a few beauties you can collect mid-season to start off your 2015. Top of the list is the Russian Cancan in Spicy (which also comes in Black and White). Sizes include 32 A-F cup up to 38 A-F cup. It also comes with a variety of matching bottoms.

Unless you enjoy "dressing up" under your work attire, this set is most likely limited to the bedroom. There's a reason this color is called "Spicy." The pompoms set into the bridge probably don't lie flat under a t-shirt, either.

The Curvy Kate Ritzy is another Fall/Winter selection that will send you a for a spin. The photo from the website shows a brighter, more orange red than what you see in real life. Their Spring '15 collection has a Black Poppy color that more closely resembles Marsala if you want a subtle but still bold choice. Also, it comes in a Babydoll! What more could you want? Sizing goes from 28 to 38 D to J cup.

Approximately $60 (bra) $90 (babydoll)

Cacique - Push Up Demi Bra - Affordable Marsala

Photo from Cacique.com

Perhaps the TRUEST and closest to marsala bra is the Cacique Push Up Demi Bra in Ruby Red. It is also (coincidentally) the most affordable. With a 4.5/5 rating on the item page, plenty of ladies love this bra. This does have a limited size range 36 C to DDD, 38 DD to DDD and 40 DDD but that price (and color) knocks the socks off of everything else on this list.

$36 from Cacique
