Everything Goes with Champagne

The color champagne is close to beige, with a little shot of very pale yellowish-orange. Like its namesake, it goes with everything and makes us happy. Need a New Year’s lift for your wardrobe? Sample a range of champagne hues in lingerie and loungewear from Jane’s Vanity.

Begin with sleek Ivresse Champagne Stay Up Stockings from Barazandeh. Hand-appliquéd Swarovski crystals dance up the front of both legs. Choice of clear and metallic crystals or punchy black. 

Let these elegant stockings peek out from the full-length St. Tropez SIlk Robe from Christine Vancouver, with its own floral design. Garlands in champagne tan guide the eye through a landscape of black, white, chartreuse green, sky blue, and coral. For more St. Tropez, there is also a drapey Silk Top. 

Have we made a “case” for champagne? It is just the beginning. The addition of beigey lace brings an unexpected and seductive touch to lingerie. Just one left of Marjolaine’s Floral Silk Slip in peaches and cream. The beige lace at bosom and hem contrasts nicely with the silk’s sprawling Belle Epoque print. Or, you might be in time to snap up the Prestige Shaped Set from Valery in champagne-patterned yellow silk. The surprise of beigey pink lace trim on yellow silk elevates the set (and you) to star status.

Yes, we’re veering into the territory of pink champagne. But, who could resist? Especially with the tempting opportunity to zip oneself into Gilda & Pearl’s Gilded Macaron Slip. Make its acquisition your New Year’s resolution. This piece will not only go with everything, but also with nothing! Add a flute of you-know-what, and have a lovely time.

Pink Champagne might be the name of the game for 2023, since color arbiter Pantone just announced its color for the year: Viva Magenta. Champagne is often made from the PInot Noir grape, also in the red family. Its mellow variations offer a great foil to the vibrancy of magenta. Also a nice segue to Valentine’s Day.
