I used to be a lingerie fanatic. I bought my first bra at 13 (a traumatizing tale for a different day) and quickly graduated from my cotton old faithful to more exciting lingerie. I know I’m not the only one here who thought Victoria’s Secret was the height of sophistication, and once I discovered La Perla and Agent Provocateur, it was game over. I'd feel giddy, sliding on a decadent lingerie set underneath an otherwise innocuous outfit.
Somewhere along the way, I settled into a routine of simple and comfortable (if somewhat boring) daily underwear. I was spending a lot of time working from home in my sweatpants. Anything underneath it became an afterthought. That is, until earlier this year. While attempting a closet overhaul, I stumbled across a long-forgotten trousseau my bridal party had gifted me. My maid of honor organized a lingerie shower (a ripping good time that I highly recommend) at my bachelorette and my friends had not disappointed. Inspired by this collection of sexy, lacy, and frilly underpinnings, I set out to revamp my lingerie drawer. My WFH days are a lot more fun now that I’m pairing oversize sweatshirts with something cheekier below the waist.
Inspired to do the same? Whether you’re wearing them for you (or someone else), these are some of the prettiest pairs of underwear out there.
These high waist lace hipsters would be a cute upgrade to sleeping shorts. Plus they're 3 for $35 so you can stock up.
A cheeky stocking stuffer.
Don't be fooled by the lace panel - this pair disappears seamlessly beneath clothing.
Frilly and flirty.
You know Dita Von Teese knows what's up when it comes to lingerie.
Into the peekaboo detailing.
Little Miss Vixen.
Redefining "hot pants."
The perfect pair to curl up and watch Pretty In Pink.
A tropical moment.
The metallic sheen on these look like delicate brocade.
Are you kidding me with these tulle bows!
No green thumb needed for these blooms.
The gold beading on these are as dainty as anything you'd find on a vintage cocktail dress.
Equal parts sugar and spice.
There's no other word for it: these are a chic pair of panties.
Festive enough for the holidays, wearable all year round.
The butterflies add a touch of whimsy to this sweet white pair.
Almost contemplating getting married again just so I can wear these.
For when you're done with neutrals.
Channel your inner Paris Hilton in this micro micro (micro) mini.
The pink ribbons weaving through eyelet lace? *Chef's kiss.*
The lettuce edging feels simultaneously nostalgic and on trend.
Call me Ms. Saloon Madame.
You'll feel a frisson of delight slipping on this cheery yellow number.
