For the longest time, my lingerie drawer consisted of black bras, big knickers, and very little else. I’ll be honest, I never really bought into the whole pretty lingerie thing, even when I was a teen and La Senza was at its peak. Being a size 32G, my options are already limited. When I did buy anything remotely fancy, I found it seriously lacked in support and shape. That, however, has long since changed. Now, there are plenty of brands creating beautiful bra and underwear sets that cater to every size out there and are encouraging me to breathe new life into my lingerie collection.
Of course, there are lots of gorgeous bra and underwear sets out there for those of you who don’t fall into the same DD+ as I do. From delicate triangle bralettes decorated with lace to unwired cups in bold hues, all with matching briefs, you needn’t restrict yourself to dull t-shirt bras.
Below, I’ve rounded up some of the most impressive bra and underwear sets you can buy right now, some from brands that you’ll have heard of, while others, I’m sure, will be new to your radar. Whether you opt for classic white cotton or saturated satin, wearing these sets will not only look great on, but they’ll make you feel great inside. Scroll on to shop them.
