On any given occasion, it’s quite possible for us to spend hours picking out the perfect outfit, so why shouldn’t what we wear underneath get the same attention? Gorgeous lingerie is one of the best pick-me-ups and confidence-boosters we can think of. Our list of favorites are sure to do just that, whether you’re looking for something sexy, comfortable yet pretty, luxury, or all of the above. (We also hope this list gets you as excited for tonight’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show as we are…)
Figleaves Boudoir Carmen B-G Underwired Bra and Brief (£25-36.00)
We’ve seen countless high-end designers incorporate bondage into their pieces, including Givenchy, Balmain, and Alexander McQueen. Figleaves’ Boudoir Carmen B-G Underwired Bra (£36.00) and Brief (£25.00) bring the trend to lingerie in this set. Even better, the bra is available up to a G cup size, accommodating curvy girls.
Victoria’s Secret Strappy Crossback Push-Up Bra and Matching Thong (approx. £17.84-45.88)
As much as we wish we were a Victoria’s Secret Angel, something tells us it’s not going to happen any time soon. However, you can shop looks straight from the famous runway, like Victoria’s Secret’s Strappy Crossback Push-Up Bra (£45.88) and Matching Thong (£17.84). Sadly, Doutzen Kroes’ figure is not included.
Stella McCartney Georgia Glowing Soft Cup Bra and Matching Boyleg Brief (£45-85.00)
Finding lingerie as comfortable as it is attractive can be quite a challenge, but it seems we’ve found just that in Stella McCartney’s Georgia Glowing Soft Cup Bra (£85.00) and Matching Boyleg Brief (£45.00). The bra’s wide straps and wire-free cups feel like a dream, while the lace detailing gives it a pretty touch.
Agent Provocateur Love Demi Bra and Matching Thong (£55-95.00)
French lace and bows obviously make everything better, which is why we’re in love with Agent Provocateur’s Love Demi Bra (£95.00) and Matching Thong (£55.00). The scalloped edges and silk straps are lovely touches, and we love that the demi style gives a nice lift without the use of padding.
Myla Eustacia Non Padded Balcony and Matching Mini Brief (£125-180.00)
Soft, romantic, and dreamy, this set is one of the most divine lingerie sets we’ve seen. Made with Swiss tulle, French eyelash lace, rose gold fittings, bespoke bow, and crystal charm, Myla’s Eustacia Non Padded Balcony (£180.00) and Matching Mini Brief (£125.00) are just too pretty to hide under clothes.
La Perla Tearose Underwired Brassiere and Matching High-Waisted Briefs (£301-312.00)
Although by far the priciest and most luxurious of the bunch, La Perla’s Tearose Underwired Brassiere (£312.00) and Matching High-Waist Briefs (£301.00) were just too gorgeous to not include. Featuring a tea rose design over exquisite Chantilly lace, this Brigitte Bardot-esque set is positively heavenly.
