But Devon-based online and mail order lingerie company Wickedelic Lingerie has noticed a new trend emerging from the ashes as customer service manager Nik Grant explains: “Sales of boots have fallen considerably but they’ve been replaced by a big surge in the sales of kinky shoes instead.”

Checking out the shelves in the Wickedelic Lingerie warehouse tells the whole tale, with row upon row of shoes which are in no way designed to be everyday wear as Nik continues: “We sell a large range of shoes which are mostly worn in the bedroom, out clubbing, for fancy dress, pole dancing or extravagant dressing up. High, high heels and platforms, shiny materials and vivid colours in sizes from 3 to 12 feature large in the range.”

At this point the penny drops and the linkage to the Kinky Boots theme becomes apparent – sizes up to 12 can only mean one thing, these shoes are meant for walking but a lot of that walking is surely being done by men as Nik is quick to confess: “It has to be said that our biggest customer base for our Wickedelic Lingerie range of shoes are indeed men – crossdressers just love the sheer exuberance of the range.”

So there you have it - kinky shoes are in this summer - especially if you are a man!

The Department of Health have advised staying in the shade during the hottest parts of the day, avoiding strenuous activities and to stay hydrated by drinking plenty.  Children and the elderly are most at risk.  Air conditioning fans at home are a good way to keep cool and having ice lollipops in is another way to keep fluid levels up.  As we are not use to such hot weather lasting for so long, it is important to follow the advice on offer.  Too much sun can lead to health complaints, some short term such as dehydration and heat stroke.  But these can easily be avoided by looking after yourself in the sun.

NetVoucherCodes provides a massive selection of retailers that can help you prepare yourself and your family for the hot weather. There are retailers covering sun cream, sun-hats, fans, aftersun, sunglasses, summer clothing and footwear.  These products can be essential in ensuring you stay safe in the sun.  You don't have to sepnd a fortune either, as many retailers on www.netvouchercodes.co.uk have offers, vouchers and Summer Sales currently on at present, some as much as 70% off!

Here is just a small selection of the retailers available on www.netvouchercodes.co.uk; Boots.com, Sunglasses UK, AirConDirect, Miss Selfridge, Simply Beach, New Look, Born2BeCool, Kids Shoe Factory, Debenhams, D&A Designer Sunglasses, Schuh and Superdrug.

So for all your summer sun needs, remember to visit NetVoucherCodes for special offers, deals and discount codes.

So when Devon-based online and mail order lingerie specialist Wickedelic Lingerie noticed a sharp upturn in sales of its classically styled Silky French Cami-Knickers they decided to investigate the customer profile.

As customer services manager Nik Grant explains: “It was plain to see that nearly 60 per cent of buyers were male and we initially assumed that they were purchasing on behalf of their partners. Imagine our shock when we discovered that they were actually buying them for themselves.”

It really would seem that Wickedelic Lingerie had tapped into a previously unnoticed seam of customers in the form of cross-dressing men.

Nik adds: “Luckily we offer our Wickedelic Lingerie Classic Range in quite large sizes and the word got around that we could easily accommodate men as well as the ladies.

“It would seem that cross-dressing men simply cannot resist the silky feel of our French Style Cami-Knickers. Not only that but the entire selection of traditional lingerie seems to find favour with this particular customer. We are doing a roaring trade in basques, suspender belts, waist clinchers and stockings too.”

It may well be then that Wickedelic Lingerie has inadvertently struck gold!

Reaching such a diverse audience has, on the internet, needed the use of specialist online advertising especially Adwords or PPC (Pay Per Click) to capture the attention across a wide range of possible search areas where competition is serious. UpperCup approached LexisClick after their results from their current agency did not appear to be producing the returns that they should have been.

Stephen Bavister MD LexisClick explains “We (LexisClick), after some in depth analysis, where able to ‘significantly improve turnover’ resulting in a 20% increase in sales in two months whilst halving the costs in one month. We are now looking to improve upon this with additional SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) work on the site that will ensure that UpperCup are upper most in all women’s minds when it comes to searching for that exclusive larger cup size”. He continued “Adwords can seem like a quick and easy option to get to the top of Google but it has to be watched constantly as costs can easily escalate and strip out any profit. We would always advocate a balanced approach to Adwords and where possible also consider the longer term steady growth that SEO brings”.

UpperCup are certainly now reaping the rewards of LexisClick’s endeavours and are looking forward to a growing demand for their range of plus size bras, lingerie and swimwear for the larger busted woman.

Devon-based online and mail order specialists Wickedelic Lingerie have been quick off the mark in spotting the trend and filling the gap as their customer services manager Nik Grant explains. “This year has seen a definite return to the classic styles and fashions of the 50s and 60s with the shortie and cami-knicker type of underwear becoming very popular.”

And it doesn’t stop there as Nik continues: “We are seeing a big demand for old fashioned foundation garments, waist nippers, vintage-style suspender belts and of course stockings!” No doubt music to the ears of British men as a straw poll of Wickedelic Lingerie’s male workforce revealed the not surprising fact that the suspender and stocking combination rules supreme.

Wickedelic Lingerie seem well placed to meet this new demand with an extensive range of classic, traditional-styled knickers, suspender belts and foundation garments in their range - all of which are delightfully manufactured by an established Nottingham-based company.

And Nik was quick to extol the virtues of buying British. “We are proud to buy British - not only do we benefit from superb quality and a quick turnaround but, with the Pound so weak against the Euro and Dollar, we are getting great prices too.”

Wickedelic Lingerie has built an enviable reputation as a supplier of bedroom and daily wear lingerie at reasonable prices. Their 12,000sqft warehouse and dedicated call centre houses some 3,000 different lines ready for immediate dispatch.

The line includes ladies lingerie such as babydolls, bustiers and corsets, gowns, chemises, camisole sets and thongs, as well as specialising in bridal lingerie. The new expanded range also consists of men’s underwear, fancy dress, plus-size lingerie and shoes.

The site, which receives over 1,000 visitors a day sells tops, dresses, underwear and more. The site’s forte is its range of dresses, which it is able to trade for a mere £9.95 each, to a maximum of £18.95; the same dresses which were originally for sale at up to £90 in high street stores. Savings have increased as visits to the site have allowed for bigger bargaining power, and have allowed for the introduction of the iShopStyle.co.uk summer sale, with all prices being guaranteed to be up to 80% off the original retail price in the high street stores. The online shop now boasts of selling fashion products previously seen in stores from Topshop through to Ralph Lauren.

Jamie Dickinson started the online store after seeing the high price women were paying for style and fashion, and comparing them to the cost of producing such items, he said “I felt the high street stores were cheating consumers with extortionate prices, and had to find a way of helping people out, especially with the media being riffled with recession problems and job cuts”. Jamie invested in over 1,000 products, at massive reductions and passed these savings on to consumers.

Up until now, the British consumer has had no real way of combating the high prices high street clothes are sold at. The introduction of Primark stores helped to see low prices in basic wear, but brand name fashion has always been highly priced, especially in stores such as House of Fraser. Inspiration for the online store was reached after a visit to a nearby T K Maxx store outlined the emphasis for low priced designer goods, but their haphazard approach to store layout has disappointed many customers who have found that it takes extensive periods of time to search through the masses of clothes available; iShopStyle.co.uk has eliminated this problem by allowing all products to only be available through their easy to use online navigation system.

Once the customer has discovered their desired clothing, the online stock management control, allows them to see whether their selected clothes are in stock and displays a variety of high fashion alternatives also available.

Dickinson said, "The site has revolutionized the consumer’s ability to challenge the price of high end fashion, and has raised the bar in such an ever growing industry", which seems to be important as retailers fiercely compete with each other for valuable consumer pounds.

According to Devon-based mail order and online lingerie specialists Wickedelic Lingerie, their Marilyn Monroe costume is an all-time best seller.

Nik Grant, customer services manager at Wickedelic, tells us why. “Marilyn Monroe is a sex symbol and our customers just love to dress up just like her. So much so in fact that we have created a special ‘Some Like it Hot!’ outfit comprising a Marilyn inspired dress, wig, shoes and retro look pants.”

He adds: “The total look is incredibly authentic and we even do a set of fake boobs to further enhance the illusion. Fake boobs? Well it seems that the chaps cannot resist dressing up like Marilyn too.”

Henleys was founded in 1996 and has fast established itself as one of today’s most influential and innovative fashion icons in the UK. Originally Henleys started out as a mens shirt brand, eventually the brand branched out and went into casual wear in the late 90’s. The ladies however had to wait until some time in 2002 before Henley’s would cater for them. Today’s Henleys is much different, the wide range includes its iconic Henleys Jeans, jackets, t-shirts and accessories. Henleys fast became a real lifestyle brand. More recently Henleys have become renowned as an urban brand and is in the same league as G Star and Bench, at the fore front of the brands recent success is the bold printed design t shirts which became incredibly popular helping Henleys to move into the more commercial market and help the brand to expand over all.

Henleys Philosophy

The philosophy of Henleys is to offer a lifestyle brand, for men and women with a luxury sporting theme. Pioneering new trends and keeping its passion for quality and keeping fresh and innovative are all qualities that have helped to define the brand and enforce its growth throughout the UK. Every garment is over seen from design to production to make sure the quality adheres to Henleys high standard the brand has set. Henleys claim the key to their success as a brand is the ability to capture a distinct personality that shows in each garment to enhance the wearer’s life style.

Focusing on customer feedback that clearly showed a demand for classically styled briefs, French cami-knickers, girdles, waist clinchers and suspender belts, Wickedelic Lingerie commissioned a long established, Nottingham-based, family-owned manufacturer to create a unique range.

"Our customers were constantly telling us that they were finding it difficult to source high quality, traditionally styled lingerie and corsetry. Our new range caters to the needs of these discerning consumers,” said Sonia Jeffery, purchasing manager at Wickedelic Lingerie.

"We were determined that our latest additions to the Wickedelic brand would be made to exacting standards in the UK. We were extremely fortunate to find a rich seam of experience and unusually high standards in our chosen British manufacturer."

The Wickedelic Classic Range features a dozen lines including seductive French silk style Cami-knickers in a variety of sultry shades, six-strap suspender belts and vintage style waist clinchers inspired by the forties and fifties. A very extensive range at very reasonable prices.

The entire range can be purchased online at Wickedelic Lingerie’s revamped website - www.wickedeliclingerie.co.uk

Wickedelic Lingerie has been trading since 2006 from its base in Lee Mill, Devon. It has rapidly established itself as one of the UK's leading online and mail order suppliers of sexy, "bedroom" lingerie at competitive prices.

Their 12,000sqft warehouse and dedicated call centre houses some 3,000 different lines ready for immediate dispatch.

Sonia is rightly proud of Wickedlic Lingerie: "We firmly believe that we hold more lines in stock than any other retailer and our pricing is really keen too,” she explained.

”In these difficult times we offer our customers fantastic quality and even better value for money with some of our most popular and sexiest lines available at an average retail price of £20"

Wickedelic Lingerie prints and distributes a 96-page catalogue six times a year - one look tells you that you really have found the mother lode when it comes to choice, quality and value for money.

Inspired by the work of Lady Duff Gordon (1863-1935) and the original revolutionary Lucile brand, Lucile lingerie is the brainchild of Camilla Blois, the great-great-great granddaughter of Lady Duff Gordon.

‘I love lingerie; it’s my favourite part of my wardrobe and is so important to how women feel about themselves. My grandmother had beautiful couture houses in Paris, London and New York and was the first house to make lingerie for women, freeing them from constrictive corsets and Edwardian dress.’

Feeling frustrated at the lack of choice in desirable and functional lingerie available, Camilla decided to open her own store, ‘where women can come in and feel inspired by the beautiful products on offer and be comfortable buying for themselves in a private and luxurious environment. I thought of everything I wanted from a lingerie store and incorporated them all into Lucile.’

We believe that every woman should be able to wear beautiful, luxurious lingerie everyday whether they are running errands, absorbed in meetings or spending the day in bed.

Our boutique only offers the finest fabrics from the most covetable brands such as Damaris and Mimi Holliday, divine pieces from one of the most sought after lingerie houses in the world to make you feel like a goddess, Madame V s which is sophisticated, sensual lingerie and gifts that create a truly seductive experience for you.

Lucile, the beautiful lingerie boutique on Police Street, Manchester has been has been acquiring a cult following since their opening in November.  Inspired by the Lucile couture houses founded by owner Camilla Blois’ great-great-great Grandmother, Lady Duff Gordon in 1890, this beautiful boutique has quickly established itself as a must stop shop for women in the North West.

Frustrated by the lack of desirable and functional lingerie available, Camilla has packed Lucile full of exclusive to Manchester brands such as Myla, Marie-Jo, Mimi Holliday, Simone Perele, Fleur of England, Aubade, Empreinte, Coco Ribbon and Prima Donna as well as beachwear from Heidi Klein and Myla.

The Lucile boutique is reminiscent of the infamous Rose Rooms where Lady Duff Gordon first introduced Edwardian society to lingerie, throwing away corsets and slipping them into beautiful handmade silk negligees instead.  Camilla has created a haven away from the hustle and bustle of the high street, with the plush changing rooms with the all important adjustable lighting and where there is always a glass of wine to hand! Family photographs and pictures of original Lucile designs are nestled amongst the beautiful lingerie giving the shop a truly personal feel- a refreshing change from the harsh lighting of department stores!

Lucile promotes a Parisian approach to lingerie, emphasising the power of lingerie  and the importance of ensuring that your undergarments do justice to your carefully considered wardrobe by flattering your figure and instilling a confidence in women that will take you from the boardroom to the bedroom.  ‘I think beautiful lingerie adds to the feminine mystique’ says Camilla ‘There is no point wearing a beautiful dress with killer heels and glittering jewels if underneath it all you are wearing greying pants with snapped elastic!’

As we all know wearing the right bra size is an absolute must, ‘I have seen women transform their figures by finding their true bra size. It corrects your posture, defines your waist and instantly makes you lose a couple of inches’ Camilla explains ‘the difference it can make to a woman is amazing and of course this change in body shape instantly makes you more confident.’

The knowledge of the Lucile staff is second to none , using traditional measuring methods (without a tape measure in sight) these girls understand about fit, comfort, fabric and colouring even working in conjunction with a local tailor to ensure the perfect fit for every individual.  With a range of sizes starting at 28 backs and going up to an H cup, there is something for everyone at Lucile.

A 240-page book titled ‘Never Trust A Man in Alligator Loafers’ has been released which claims you can judge a man by the type of shoes he wears, and how he walks in them. Author and professional shoe-ologist, Donna Sozio believes that through the patterns in shoes and the message that a person projects, a person can be read very clearly. She believes shoes have energy lines that no one really notices, such as maintenance or stitching.

“It’s an intuitive gift. Some people read palms. I read shoes,” she says.

The book features a range of information about different styles of shoes and how men wear them. It discusses the art of reading shoes and links the findings with personal advice, especially when dealing with relationships.

“We choose our shoes. It's a reflection of who [people] are, what they think is possible,'' she adds.

''The book's basis is that you can only love someone else to the extent that you love yourself, and your shoes are a really good indicator of how much a person loves himself.”

To make sure that you get the look that you want to portray to others, FMFootwear.com have a range of men’s and women’s shoes for you to buy. And to stick with Dr Sozio’s tips, here is a sneaky peak of what the book suggests about the shoes men wear and what you can read from it. The book suggests that if a shoe is really clean and the stitching moves in one direction, the person may be balanced and organised

However, on the other shoe, Dr.Sole suggests that if a shoe has cluttered stitching, than the wearer may welcome chaos in his life. FMFootwear have a range of men’s smart shoes for business and casual wear across a range of top quality makes with a range of various stitching, including, Full Circle, H by Hudson and Firetrap.

The sole searching book, also says that if a man’s shoe has long laces then the man has boyish characteristics. If this is the look you want to portray to others, FMFootwear have a range of trainers and pumps from Caterpillar, Onitsuka Tiger, Replay, FLY London and Firetrap.

On the other foot, Sozio claims that if he wears no shoelaces, his is more of a serious type. FMFootwear have made sure that they are serious about what they sell and offer a range of boots for you to buy online. Customers can find a wide range of boots from H by Hudson, Caterpillar and Full Circle.

However, if you want to follow the strict style of Dr Sozio, she suggests that her favourite shoes for this year are boots in the autumn and flip-flop or sandals for spring. She says they are both sturdy and attractive shoes that are made to last.

FMFootwear have a range of men’s sandals for you to buy to make sure you look sturdy and attractive through the spring and summer months. Customers can browse a range of styles from a variety of brands including, Havaianas, Frisky, H by Hudson, Full Circle and Replay.

Sozio sees her work as a product of science. Known as “soleology” Sozio works through the art of what she calls the Trickle-Down Theory. Her work explains that a man’s relationship with himself trickles down onto every relationship he has, which includes his relationship with shoes and his relationship with his significant other.

Sozio found her interest in men’s shoes after realising in her own life looking at men’s shoes made dating easier and fun. She remembers a time when her date asked if he needed to get a new pair of shoes to go out with her. “I have been with guys that I say to myself, `Oh, he's great, but the shoes are ugh,”' says Sozio.

The shoe doctor started her work by renting a booth on the Venice, California boardwalk, were she hung up a shoe psychic sign. She recalls making a $20 tip for one reading. ''I saw that my advice was helping people and you could see it in their face,'' Sozio says.

Sozio's work reflects the state of the state of the economy and how it is affecting the nation. She advises people to wear better shoes to kick this downturn. She has seen many people opt for comfort shoes because they are worried about the current market, which don’t make a good statement.

''Success is always started from the bottom up,'' she says. “Don't just rest on your heels in marshmallow-white sneakers and wait until it blows over.''

This year, retailers have seen the bargain shoe slip back onto the shelf, while women opt for the more tasteful, less ‘sole-destroying’ footwear to keep their feet in tip top condition.

While this option may seem the least cost effective, women are realising that they are spending more on cheap shoes that don’t last a rainy day, and in the long term, buying reliable pricier shoes, works out cheaper.

About.com, through a number of polls has found that women are looking for comfort and style when searching for the perfect shoe. A recent poll found that 19 per cent of women looked for comfort when buying new shoes and only 5 per cent looked at the actual cost of the shoe.

Yet in this current recession, many women don’t have much choice other than to save the pennies for the latest Jimmy Choo’s or splash the cash on cheap bargain pairs, were the sole falls out at the end of the day or the heel snaps off. However, help is at hand with the aid of FMFootware, an online shoe company offering the latest designer shoe brands at fantastic prices.
