15 Best Lingerie Brands for Women: A Guide to the Best Brands for Bras and Undies

Looking to refresh your top drawer or up your lingerie game? You’re in luck. Vogue has broken down the best lingerie brands that can help you do just that. No matter what you’re looking for, we believe that what you wear underneath your clothes should make you feel just as great as the outfit itself.

We also stand by the idea that there are no rules against wearing your most romantic lace bralettes under a pair of sweats. We could also argue that most of these every day, fit-focused lingerie brands would hold comfort-wise against even your most luxuriously soft PJs.

Perhaps you’re having a date night at home with your partner or dressing up for something special. Or maybe you just like to roam free in your apartment—in nothing but a great set of bras and undies.

Minimalist lingerie startups and e-commerce sites have become masters of fit and are challenging what lingerie should look and feel like in this day and age. And if you’re looking to shop small or consciously (or both), there are options for that too. We’ve rounded up all our favorite makers of bras, bralettes, and briefs in Vogue’s ultimate guide to the best lingerie brands—plus, where and how to shop them.

Editor-Favorite

Cuup was founded on the basis that the majority of women wear the wrong bra size, largely thanks to old-school lingerie brands that confined women to a small and unrealistic range of fits. To counter this, Cuup has invested in designing bras that fit to perfection by challenging the former size scale, without compromising a flattering look or pleasing aesthetic. The brand offers five bra styles, four bottom silhouettes, and 40 inclusive sizes—balancing just the right amount of sensuality with everyday practicality.

Fit Comes First

Life in Color

Add some vivid color to your underwear drawer by way of sustainably focused and consciously minded lingerie brand Araks. The label mixes laid-back cottons with unexpected colors for a twist on playfully sweet bralettes that comfortably enhance your natural shape but don’t cross the line into overly sexed-up intimates. If you’re looking for something that ticks the boxes for both everyday and special-occasion lingerie, look no further.

The Highly Reviewed

When a brand offers more than 80 sizes, you know it’s serious about putting comfort first. ThirdLove’s debut 24/7 bra is made from memory foam that actually molds itself around you—no matter your cup size—without having to conform to a certain shape. It has just under 41,000 reviews with an average rating of four and a half out of five stars. You do the math. According to ThirdLove, the best lingerie is the kind you never think about, and its range of undies and bottoms certainly live up to that promise.

Lust-Worthy

Prior to starting Love Stories, founder Marloes Hoedeman felt that the lingerie options available to her fell on two opposite sides of the spectrum, either “sporty spice or tutu-romance.” The Amsterdam-based brand looked to find the right balance, providing women with lingerie as versatile as they are. From comfortable camisoles and robes to sweet undies and bralettes, there’s something for everyone.

Lingerie, Redefined

Rihanna’s earth-shattering fashion show debut for Savage x Fenty was a total reinvention of what traditional intimates and lingerie presentations should look like. Both her line and runway shows celebrate fearlessness and inclusivity, and at an affordable price, no less. For something more cheeky, consider a cutout panty, a charmed thong, or even a delicate lace baby doll top from Savage—as the brand describes it, it’s “when dainty meets dayum!”
