There’s no denying that underwear is an essential part of our daily lives – and more specifically, our wardrobes. While we don’t often think about the ones we’ll throw on first thing in the morning or when we step out of the shower, having a wide array of options is important. Every outfit calls for a different type of underwear style, from cheeky options that won’t show lines under a bodycon dress to comfortable styles that you’ll be glad to lounge around in on a day off. This season, we’re making it our mission to only own and invest in quality and purposeful wardrobe essentials, and that goes straight down to our undergarments, too.
To help determine the best and most practical options out there, we shopped and broke down five essential types of underwear that are worth adding to your closet – and which precise styles you should be stocking up on from brands like Natori, ThirdLove, Skims, and more. Whether you’re looking for something sexy or comfortable, we’ve got you covered. From classic brands you probably know and love to new direct-to-consumer brands that make seriously impressive pieces, it’ll be hard to leave without wanting an entire new collection. Keep reading to see which ones end up in your drawer.
