At the Phillip Lim showroom today, we got to spend a lot of quality time with the designer’s ravishing fall collection. We were all over the cozy, multi-textured coats; daring little leather shorts (more on these later); jeweled bib necklaces; and cute Clarks-style wedges.

But we also had a chance to get a closer look at the designer’s new loungewear/lingerie collection, 3.1 Phillip Lim Initials. (As in, it’s the first, “initial” layer that goes on your body.) What we love about it is that it’s something a girl can wear without feeling like she’s trying too hard. After all, an Agent Provocateur lace corset with garters isn’t for everyone.

Everything has that invitingly girlish-yet-slightly-boyish feeling, and though it’s all very pretty, there’s not one piece that asks you to sacrifice an ounce of comfort. The collection, which also includes supersoft t-shirts and cardigans that double as robes, has just hit stores, and is available at lagarconne.com; net-a-porter.com and the 3.1 Phillip Lim boutiques.
