Calexotics Radiance Rhinestone Mesh Shoulder Shrug – Lingerie

A shrug is the piece that finishes an outfit: a cropped top that covers the shoulders and arms and leaves the rest of you on show. The CalExotics Radiance Shoulder Shrug is a sheer mesh shrug scattered with rhinestones, with full-length sleeves, so it adds sparkle over a bra, a bodysuit or a dress without hiding what's underneath.

What it's made of

The shrug is a soft, stretchy mesh set with rhinestone accents that catch the light as you move. In the photos it's shown in black. CalExotics describes the fit as body-forming and says it stretches to fit most standard sizes. A fibre breakdown isn't given, so we can't tell you the exact blend.

Ways to wear a mesh shrug

The obvious pairing is the rest of the Radiance line. Over the Radiance Deep V Bodysuit it adds sleeves and turns a halter-style piece into a fuller look. Over a plain black bra and high-waist brief it gives instant shimmer for a private evening. Out of the bedroom, it layers over a slip dress, a bralette or a festival top, and the sleeves bring a bit of coverage on a cool night.

Looking after rhinestones

The maker's instruction is hand wash only. Use cool water and a gentle detergent, press the water out rather than wringing, and dry it flat. Turning it inside out before washing protects the stones. Store it folded in a drawer or bag rather than on a hanger, where the weight of the stones can stretch the mesh over time.
