The best women’s lingerie: 22 favourites for every mood and budget
Lingerie isn’t about dressing for someone else. The best pieces feel comfortable, supportive and genuinely good to wear, whether they’re an everyday staple or an investment item. Design has never been better, with brands focusing on comfortable materials, breathability and support as well as style; sometimes the finest details matter more than extra frills.
Affordable everyday sets include Lemonade Dolls’ signature lace bralette and matching Brazilian knickers, made from recycled nylon and stretch lace with fuller-bust adjustments, while Triumph’s balconette uses at least 75% recycled fabrics and mesh side panels for a lightweight fit.
Boux Avenue pairs satin and decorative lace for a breathable, supportive option that reads as high-street elegance. For special occasions, Intimissimi’s tulle slip and Lounge Underwear’s Valentina bodysuit offer refined silhouettes, and sustainable labels such as Stripe & Stare and Dora Larsen use Tencel fibres and recycled nylon.
