Off-Duty Bra

Nothing says comfort like an unstructured off-duty bra. From lounging around the house to weekend chores, it pays to have a selection on hand. Triangle shapes are perfect for smaller busts whilst soft moulded styles offer more support.

Supportive Bras

They might not be pretty, but any expert will tell you supportive bras are essential for women’s health and can help avoid long term issues. Moulded smooth cups are great for everyday and under t-shirts. Stock up on nude, black and white for a comprehensive selection.

Sexy Bras

Nothing will give you a confidence boost quite like a sexy bra. While you might not wear it every day, it’s worth having a few you feel good in. We love black lace – like this sexy and feminine Anine Bing style.

Strapless Bras

These might not get the most wear, but they will definitely come in handy when you’re going out. A low-cut cup in black, nude and white will cover the bases now – and well into the summer.

Sensible Knickers

Sometimes, you can’t beat a pair of sensible knickers. Whether it’s your time of the month or just a casual weekend, they’ll play a big part in your underwear drawer. We love these Stripe & Stare ones.

Thongs

Love them or hate them, thongs are an essential. Whether you wear them every day or keep them for wearing under slinky fabrics, it’s worth getting a pair that are comfy and practical. Size up to avoid any obvious lines under slip dresses and skirts.

Shapewear

Whether it’s panelled tummy pants or cycling shorts offering extra support, shapewear has come a long way in recent years. Lightweight, breathable fabrics that lift and sculpt are game changers but with so much choice, it can get overwhelming. We recommend Skims for the most comfortable fit.
