Ok listen.
We are not lingerie people.
But we sort of want to be lingerie people.
After a long day of writing articles (like this one) and reminding our husbands for the 4th time to follow up with the school counselor and making dinner (every night!!) and wedging in some shred of godforsaken “me time” which just consists of taking a bloody walk, sort of the last thing we want to is wriggle into some pointy scratchy stupid bra.
Right?
And yet.
We do want to see what all the fuss is about.
Will we feel extra attractive knowing we’re wearing a lovely matching set instead of a stained sports bra and the bottom of an old bikini because it’s laundry day? Well, we wanted to find out. And the answer, perhaps unsurprisingly, is yes.
We might not don one of these pieces every single day, but we must say, we do enjoy having them as options. Options are the cornerstone of a fuller life.
So here they are. Ten pieces of lovely, wearable lingerie if you, like us, feel a little bit silly about all of this, but are still wildly curious.
Let’s go.
1. If you want to dip your toe into sexy stuff but it also makes you feel sort of dumb
Cosabella Never Say Never Crop Cami* and Comfi Thong*
This is for those of us who aren’t opposed to looking sexy but require comfort at all times. The cami is wireless with no over-the-top padding but has glorious, hoisted support that gives us bouncy, round shape. Plus, it’s the perfect base layer for when you want a bit of lace peeking out from under a silk button-down* or a low-cut blazer.
If you’re size DD or above, you can find the curvy version* of the came HERE*.
And you can use the code THECANDIDLY for 20% off.
Price: $110 for the cami, $29 for the thong
* Gifted
2. For a Sexy Without Spilling Out Everywhere Kind Of Look
Yet it’s sheer, but the bra is supportive, the bodice a bit like shape wear, the skirt skimming, and the built-in panties are high-waisted to flatter the lower tum. The result is a stunning, sheer nightgown that we actually feel our most confident in.
Price: $145
* Gifted
3. the most comfortable, flattering thong that’s still wildly sexy
We first crowed about this thong HERE, but we were mostly talking about how it’s the most flattering, comfortable, soft, addictive thong we’ve ever worn. The fact that its sexy to boot and comes in every shade under the sun is a mere bonus. Sizes up to 4X.
Price: $18
4. the most “lingerie” idea we all have in our heads except comfortable and wearable
That OG idea of “lingerie.” But because the pattern is more sweet, the sexy shape is almost a gorgeous contradiction. Like you.
And an incredible size range.
Price: $88
5. Sexy underwear that’s also a little bit shapewear
Spanx Undie-tectable® Lace Hi-Hipster Panty*
We don’t want to have to choose! And we don’t have to. It’s both. And it’s spectacular.
Price: $28
6. Same for this, but a bodysuit
Pinsy Sculpting Lace Shapewear Bodysuit*
Another piece of shapewear that looks exquisite with wide leg black pants, and because it’s a bodysuit, you wriggle into only one piece, and then you’re done. Or..out of.
Price: $98
7. A sexy bralette with Actual support
Sexy things don’t have to mean saggy things. Or padded things. But so many bralettes don’t offer enough in the way of support for us to feel comfortable. Enter, this bralette. We wrote a whole screed about it as it’s the only “dainty” bralette we’ve ever tried that really supports a heavy bosom. It softly supports us to the heavens while still being low cut and flattering.
Price: $80
* Gifted
8. the best plus size set
Mapale Lace Underwire Bra & Panties Set*
This set is sexy but extremely easy to wear with its supportive underwire bra and high-waist bottom. Stop searching. This is the one.
Price: $46
9. The prettiest chemise you will ever wear even if you’ve never worn a chemise before
Montelle Intimates Darling Chemise*
Our initial reaction to this chemise was: we are not worthy of something so delicately perfect. Our second reaction was: we are working on our self esteem and this chemise is the answer. Feel free to use that justification for yourself if you want to swap out your ratty college t shirt for something so sumptuous and silky you won’t just look sexy in it for someone else. You’ll feel sexy in it. For yourself.
Price: $110
10. And finally just the prettiest lingerie we’ve ever seen
