Full briefs and bikini briefs are long-time favourites for everyday wear. Seamfree or microfibre styles are also great for no-show comfort under fitted clothes. And for those who love a barely-there feel, thongs and G-strings are a go-to.
Which underwear fabrics are best?
It depends on what you love. Cotton is breathable and natural, great for sensitive skin. Microfibre gives that smooth, invisible finish, while lace adds a little elegance. We stock them all, so you can mix and match your favourites.

Bleuforêt socks are made in France using top-quality fibres like cotton, wool, cashmere and silk. They're soft, durable, and thoughtfully designed for comfort all day long.
Which socks are best for year-round wear?
Lightweight cotton and cotton-lined wool socks are ideal for all seasons. They’re breathable in summer and warm enough for cooler days without being bulky.
Are there options for sensitive skin?
Yes, Bleuforêt offers socks with cotton linings so that even wool styles don’t irritate sensitive skin. They’re gentle, soft, and free from harsh seams or dyes.
Do you stock fun or patterned socks?
Absolutely. Alongside classic solids, our collection includes playful prints and subtle patterns—great for gifting or simply adding some flair to your everyday look.

Hosiery
Whether you're after sheer elegance or cosy comfort, our hosiery collection has your legs covered—literally. We’ve handpicked the best of Italian-made hosiery, featuring everything from delicate 8 denier sheers to warm, winter-ready 100 denier opaques. Designed for durability and all-day comfort, these tights are anything but basic.
Explore stockings, stay-ups, fishnets, patterned tights and everyday socks from brands like Trasparenze and Ambra, crafted from high-quality yarns including microfibre, wool, cotton and even cashmere blends. With options in a variety of skin tones and fashion colours, there’s something here for every occasion, outfit and season.
What denier should I choose for tights?
Lower denier (8–20) gives you a sheer, barely-there look—perfect for warmer days or dressy outfits. Higher denier (40–100) adds warmth and coverage, ideal for cooler months or when you want a more opaque finish.
Are Italian tights really better quality?
Yes! Brands like Trasparenze are known for premium yarns, strong seams, and elegant finishes. They’re designed to be both beautiful and durable—giving you more wears without compromising on comfort.
What’s the difference between stockings and stay-ups?
Stockings require a suspender or garter belt to hold them up, while stay-ups have built-in silicone bands that keep them in place on their own. Both offer a polished, classic look under skirts or dresses.
Do you have hosiery for sensitive skin?
We sure do. Look for styles made with cotton linings or microfibre for softness. Our cashmere and cotton-blend hosiery options are breathable and less likely to cause irritation—great for sensitive skin types.
Can I wear patterned or fashion tights every day?
Absolutely! A pair of fishnets or embroidered tights can add personality to everyday outfits. Style them with dresses, skirts, or layered under jeans for a subtle twist. Hosiery doesn't have to be basic—make it fun!
Silk Lingerie
There’s something truly timeless about the feel of natural silk against your skin. At The Foundation, our silk lingerie and sleepwear collection is designed to bring luxury into your everyday. Whether it’s a gift for someone special or a treat for yourself, our pieces—crafted from 19 momme silk—offer a perfect blend of elegance, comfort and practicality. From soft silk camisoles to full silk pyjamas, these layering pieces also provide year-round thermal comfort.
Why Choose Silk Lingerie?
Silk lingerie is a beautiful investment in comfort and style. Naturally hypoallergenic and breathable, silk helps regulate body temperature and feels weightless on the skin. The Foundation stocks the finest silk labels including Lotus Silk—our own brand made from premium 19 momme silk—as well as luxurious ranges from Ginia and more.
The Gold Standard: 19 Momme Silk
Unlike standard silk, 19 momme silk is denser, stronger, and more luxurious. It drapes beautifully, resists wear, and feels sumptuously smooth. Featured in our Lotus Silk collection, this higher-quality fabric elevates every piece—from camisoles and French knickers to full pyjama sets and silk slips.
The Foundation’s Signature Stitching
Every detail matters. Our Lotus Silk lingerie isn’t just about the fabric—it’s about construction too. Fine stitching ensures durability while keeping seams smooth and discreet. The result? Silk pieces that last longer and maintain their beauty through years of wear.
Care Tips for Long-Lasting Silk
To protect your silk, we recommend hand washing in cold water using a dedicated silk wash like Bon Savvy’s Silk Savvy. Gently blot dry with a towel and lay flat out of direct sunlight. Never wring or twist, and always iron on low with a cloth barrier. With the right care, silk only gets better with time.
Where to Shop Silk Lingerie in Sydney & Southern Highlands

Nope! High-quality cashmere is soft and smooth against the skin. Our collection is curated for comfort, so even sensitive skin types love them.
How do I wash my thermal garments?
Use a gentle detergent (like Bon Savvy for wool/cashmere), cold water and always air dry. Hand washing is preferred to maintain fibre integrity, especially for silk or cashmere items.
