Your Ultimate Lingerie Overhaul for 2016
Valentine’s Day is coming—but that’s not the only reason why you should update your smalls. How are you meant to give all those amazing outfits you’ve been planning for the year ahead the best start if your undergarments are all wrong? Realistically, you only need four different types of bras—skin colour, black, lace-cup and strapless to make every outfit work.
Keep scrolling to read why you need one of each and shop our ultimate lingerie edit.
Lace-cup bras are made for sheer shirts and for showing off under low-cut singlets.
Gooseberry Intimates Innocence G-String ($34)
Lonely Lingerie Cyd Tri Briefs ($36)
ASOS Remi Lace Thong ($13)
Calvin Klein Hipster Briefs ($35)
Wear under any of your dark tops—especially handy if you happen to be in a photo with a flash—a black bra will stop you from showing off what you shouldn’t be.

L'Agent By Agent Provocateur Penelope Stretch Briefs ($42)
Calvin Klein Underwear Perfectly Fit Stretch Briefs ($37)

Calvin Klein Underwear Icon Stretch Satin Briefs ($30)
Heidi Klum Intimates Sunrise Love Lace Thong ($59)
