Feel Confident and Comfortable in This Sophisticated Lingerie

Remember French-cut briefs? We hadn’t thought about them in a while, but recently they’ve been making a fierce, sexy comeback. Grab a new pair (or three) of these from a reader-favorite brand: They have a leakproof no-show cut you’re sure to j’adore. It’s supportive, but a far cry from frumpy.

We just couldn’t resist offering you a pink, heart-adorned number for Valentine’s Day. (Go ahead, call us corny.) It’s not only holiday-appropriate, it’s made of stretch jersey that’s comfortable, cooling, and romantic. If you prefer something without a pattern, this nightie also comes in black and navy.

Women have unique methods of putting on their bras, but if you’re not a fan of the “clip and twist” or contorted-reach-around methods, 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.

Not all lingerie has to be made from satin or silk — this chemise is made from stretchy jersey that feels like your favorite T-shirt, but the lace cups and back add a touch of romance. We appreciate the longer length and the fact that it’s not sheer, so you can leave a bit more to the imagination (if that’s your style).

Rihanna knows a thing or two about sexy, and this floor-length nightgown from her brand does not disappoint. We love that the keyhole at the chest is adjustable, based on how much or little you want to show off, and the longer length means you won’t have to worry about any wardrobe malfunctions in the derrière region.

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. 

Lunya is known for its washable silk pajamas, but they make beautiful slip dresses, too. This one has a flattering scoop neckline that doesn’t feel overly revealing, and the slits in the side seam show a little bit of leg. This would be a hit in the bedroom, but it also covers enough that it can be worn out to dinner under a blazer — or leather jacket, if you’re feeling extra saucy.

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. Plus, it basically disappears under clothing, making it great for everyday wear.

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

Who said briefs can’t be hot? These mid-rise panties offer light support in the belly area, all while highlighting your assets. High-cut legs and a cheeky back add a flirty touch, and the fit options are bountiful: These come in sizes 6X to XS and three classic colors.

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 options 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.

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

We love mesh and lace bras that won’t show 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 comes in a ton of different colors and sizes up to 44H. You can make it a set by adding on a matching pair of undies. 

Bodysuits tend to be 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.

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 shapewear and lingerie in one. A panel in the tummy area smoothes and supports, while the lace cups help shape your chest without squishing. This one comes in eight different colors, and the brand carries tons of other bodysuits if you want something non-lacy. 

Busty ladies, rejoice! There’s no need to settle for boring beige bras ever again: This lacy 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 they also mention that it’s great for those with breasts that are fuller toward the bottom.

Buck traditional beauty standards and traditional styles, with the help of woman-owned and -founded Thistle and Spire, which offers unique and bold designs in sizes 3X to XS. This lace and mesh bodysuit is sheer in all the right places, but still offers coverage where you need it. You can even style it with jeans, for an outfit that says you’re not to be trifled with.
