Feel Confident and Comfortable in This Sophisticated Lingerie

Remember French-cut briefs? We feel like we haven’t thought about them in a while, but they’re making a fierce, sexy comeback. Grab a new pair (or three) today, because this reader favorite brand just debuted a new, thigh-high cut you’re sure to j’adore. It’s supportive, but a far cry from frumpy.

This cotton bra is the next best thing to wearing nothing but an oversized T-shirt. The soft material doesn’t itch or pinch your chest, plus it is smooth under tops, making it undetectable even under fitted clothing. An underwire provides lift and separation, creating cleavage tasteful enough to show off.

Women have unique methods of putting on their bras, but if you prefer to not do the “clip and twist” or contorted reach-around method, a front-clasp bra is the way to go. A smoothing back and wide straps mean this one won’t dig into your skin, and the clip in the front makes for easy dressing — or undressing.

Busty ladies, rejoice! No need to settle for beige, boring bras ever again. This sheer, lacey number from Understance comes in band sizes 30 to 48 and cups DD to K. Reviewers say it’s super-supportive and the straps don’t dig in or slip, and mention that it’s great for those with breasts that are fuller toward the bottom.

There’s nothing sexier than being confident in your own skin, and this unlined bra lets your natural curves and shape take center stage. Double-layered microfiber cups give you support and coverage without extra padding, and the fabric feels like butter against your skin. Plus, it basically disappears under clothing, making it great for everyday wear.

Who said briefs can’t be hot? These high-waisted panties offer support and smoothing in the belly area, all while being seamless and basically invisible under clothing. High-cut legs and a cheeky back add a flirty touch, and they come in sizes 6X to XS and in a range of nude colors and fun neons.

Ana Ono is one of our favorite brands for those who’ve had breast surgery: They have options for shoppers who’ve had lumpectomies, mastectomies, flap reconstruction, and implants (as well as for those who haven’t). This mesh camisole is made from fabric that won’t irritate scars or incisions, and the built-in shelf bra has pockets for modesty pads, breast forms, or breast prostheses, too.

We just couldn’t resist throwing in a pink, heart-adorned number for Valentine’s Day. It’s not only holiday-appropriate, it’s made of stretch satin that’s comfortable and romantic, and there’s a playful cutout in the back that shows just enough skin.

Slipping on a satin dressing gown can make any occasion feel special, even if you’re just doing your nighttime skincare routine. This one from Parade is longer than some others on the market, offering additional coverage and an elegant feel, and it’s perfect for getting…unready at night, or for hiding a special Valentine’s Day lingerie set.

Pajamas can be just as tantalizing as lingerie, especially when they’re made from silky soft fabric and edged in lace. This set from Uwila Warrior comes in four colors from sizes 3X to XS, and you’ll probably find yourself wanting to order more than one color at a time. You can wear the two pieces together or as separates, as the top can easily be styled as a tank under sweaters or jackets, and the underwear are comfy enough to wear through the day — not just for the main event.

We’re all about versatility here at Katie Couric Media, which is why we love mesh and lace bras that disappear under T-shirts and button-ups. Not only are they chic and sexy, but they’re practical, too. This balconette bra from Cuup offers a lift without heavy padding, and it comes in a ton of different colors and sizes up to 44H. You can even make it a set by adding on a matching pair of undies. 

Bodysuits tend to feel like they’re designed for those with smaller chests, but this one offers support in the bust area without a suffocating built-in shelf bra. The lace design is subtly see-through in the bodice, but the lined cups and adjustable straps hold you up like a traditional bra would, creating some cleavage without feeling over-the-top.

Dress up this versatile top with a skirt and leather jacket for your Valentine’s day dinner, or opt to wear it with underwear and nothing else later that night. When you need to, you can toss this in the laundry with the rest of your clothes because it’s made of washable silk — no dry cleaning needed. 

You don’t have to look like Kim K. to don her lingerie, underwear, or pajamas. Skims strikes the perfect balance between sexiness, simplicity, and comfort, and this plunge bra is the perfect example of the brand’s aesthetic. Its deep-V neckline provides plenty to admire, but it’s cut in a silhouette that steers clear from typical lacy lingerie. Still, the effect is just as alluring — and you can get the matching panties or thong, all at a reasonable price.

Lunya is known for its washable silk pajamas, but they make beautiful slip dresses, too. This one has delicate straps that gently sit along your collarbone and trace down the center of your back, while slits in the side seam show a little bit of leg. We’re sure this would be a hit in the bedroom, but it covers enough to wear it out to dinner under a blazer or leather jacket, if you’re feeling saucy.

The name of this bodysuit may be suggestive, but it actually refers to the fact that you can wear it as lingerie, a swimsuit, or as a top under pants or skirts. The body is made from stretchy recycled jersey that feels like your favorite T-shirt, and the cups are covered in a delicate lace. Because the cups are lined, you won’t have to worry about showing too much, or feeling itchy lace against your skin. 

Sometimes bodysuits pinch and squeeze in all the wrong places, but this one is sexy and non-constrictive. Made from stretchy lace that contours to your body, it’s like shapewear and lingerie in one. A panel in the tummy area smoothes and supports, while the lace cups help shape and hold up your chest without squishing. This one comes in seven different colors, and the brand carries nine other bodysuits if you want something that isn’t lacy. 

Sweat and leaks happen, but you don’t have to wear a panty liner to ensure you stay dry. These lace panties are made specifically to replace pads, panty liners, or tampons, as they easily soak up and wick away light bladder leaks, sweat, and blood — so you always feel fresh. These keep you feeling supported on days when you’re bloated, and the lace details add some sultry flair as an extra boost during those rare moments when you aren’t feeling your hottest. 

Buck traditional beauty standards and style motifs that don’t speak to you with woman-owned and -founded Thistle and Spire, which offers unique and powerful designs in sizes 3X to XS. This lace and mesh bodysuit is sheer in all the right places, but it still offers coverage where you need it. You can even style it with jeans for a suggestive and confident outfit.
