Though lacy bras and negligées are cute for date night, the best lingerie brands sell pieces that can be wardrobe staples. Because hey, some days you really want—or need—to feel yourself, and a matching set or teddy can give you that hidden confidence boost. So many retailers and designers sell a range of sexy lingerie like bustiers, bodysuits and garter belts, far hotter than your go-to everyday bra and cotton underwear (not that we’re knocking these essentials). To help you find the best sets, Glamour’s shopping team curated a list of picks, broken down by popular lingerie brands. You can choose from silky bras, high-end bridal lingerie sets, detailed bralettes that could double as loungewear, and corsets with cutouts that leave little to the imagination. Ahead, pieces for every style, body type, size, and budget—many of which would make romantic Valentine’s Day gifts too.

The best lingerie brands by category

Most Accessible: Amazon

Believe it or not, Amazon has some of the best lingerie sets. That’s right, you can actually snag some gorgeous matching sets, body suits, bras, and teddies for some of the most affordable and accessible prices we’ve seen yet. But the best part is that the price tags don’t compromise the quality: many of them rival some of the more expensive counterparts on this list and consist of durable lace, mesh, and silks. There’s something for everyone in Amazon’s lingerie section, and for that it’s worth checking out ASAP. They’re a sexy gift idea for the special woman in your life.

Best Sexy Lingerie: Bluebella

Bluebella makes a distinction between lingerie, provocative lingerie, and nightwear. Its lingerie includes a mix of bras, underwear, and sets that feature bold colors and nature-inspired detailing like those you’ll see in this sheer, petal-patterned bra. Its provocative lingerie kicks up the kink, with moody styles and accessories that nod to bondage—cuffs, chokers, harnesses, and barely-there thongs draped in gold chains. The brand’s nightwear selection blends sexiness with the comfort of sleepwear (we’re partial to this silky blue chemise and the lace-edged satin pajama set). With flirty bodysuits, cutout bras, and cute sleepwear coming in at under $100, you seriously won’t regret adding this brand to your rotation.

  • Sold at: Bluebella, Free People, Nordstrom, Victoria’s Secret, Revolve, Shopbop
  • Sizes available: Bras, 30A–42G; underwear, XXS–3XL

The boutique also designs its own gorgeous bras, thongs, chemises, and sleepwear under the Journelle Collection label. Most of the styles are for everyday wear, like their push-up and plunge bras, balconette bras, demi bras, and briefs, but there are a few cheeky surprises (and buildable three-piece sets) if you want something more enticing.

Best Lingerie for Large Busts: Savage x Fenty

Sweet, but make it Savage. Rihanna’s lingerie line of embellished separates, onesies, and cheeky Brazilian cuts look best with clothes off and the lights on. The brand’s designs are flashy and fun and come in the biggest range of cup sizes on our list—all the way up to H—so it’s our top choice for plunging bras for large busts. Its bras have thick, adjustable straps that relieve pressure on the back. RiRi’s lingerie brand also has a subscription option for anyone who wants new lingerie hitting their doorstep every month.

Say hi to the bras that just might ruin all others for you. The brand is known for its beautiful, breathable bras and underwear that feature lace detailing and don’t dig into the skin. Its Natori Feathers Bra has a cult following, including celebs like Emma Roberts and Olivia Munn—and Glamour writers and editors too. Its mesh outer panels contour to your breasts for a seamless, supportive fit. There are a ton of classic and seasonal colors to choose from in Natori’s intimate styles as well.

We’re Lunya diehards, with the brand’s silk pajamas and luxe robes regularly topping our lists for the best sleepwear. Its high-quality PJs are soft and cool, with a pearl-like sheen that feels like the definition of luxury.

Best Bras: Cuup

Lingerie startup Cuup prioritizes fit and quality above all. You can actually book a free 20-minute virtual fitting with an expert to figure out what works best for you. The company’s airy mesh bras are a Glamour editor favorite—they’re minimalist but chic, with sheer cups and animal-print patterns, and they’re super comfy (but still structured). Thick straps add support for bigger busts, and you can choose from various styles (push-up bra, sports bra, T-shirt bra) and edits that focus on lace, mesh, and modal. Its bridal capsule is worth a callout, with its delicate, practically see-through white designs (like this beauty of a bodysuit). The brand makes bra-based swimwear as well.

  • Sold at: Cuup
  • Sizes available: Bras, 30A–44H; underwear, XS–3XL
  • Price point: Under $100

Best Luxury Lingerie Brand: La Perla

It’s no exaggeration to describe La Perla as the pinnacle of luxury lingerie. The Italian brand has been around for more than 60 years, and celebrities like Taylor Swift, Kendall Jenner, and Beyoncé are fans. It’s known for its use of delicate hand-crafted lace and silk but also for its durability—each balconette bra and thong is lovely and indulgent but not so elaborate that you’ll be afraid to wear it repeatedly.

  • Sold at: La Perla, Amazon, Net-a-Porter, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale’s, Shopbop
  • Sizes available: Bras, 30A–44F; underwear, XS–XL
  • Price point: $80–$1000+, with most prices falling in the $200–$500 range
  • What it’s best for: Dainty lace-edged bras
  • Why we love it: Though pricey, La Perla’s lingerie is so beautiful and well-fitted that you’ll want to slip it on any time you want to feel special—even in just a T-shirt.

Best Underwear: Hanky Panky

If you’re looking for soft-cup lace bralettes, cheeky boy shorts, or comfortable thongs (yes, they exist) that you can wear every day, consider your search over. There’s something so unique about the fabrics Hanky Panky uses that Glamour contributor Krystin Arneson dubbed the brand her “one true lingerie love.” A bundle of its thongs is around $100, but its stretchy lace and lightly compressive fabric never rolls down or shows through your clothes, and it’s long-lasting, Arneson says. Hanky Panky carries teddies and bras in its soft signature material as well.

  • Sold at: Hanky Panky, Amazon, Nordstrom, Revolve, Bloomingdale’s
  • Sizes available: Bras, XXS–3X; underwear, one size fits most
  • Price point: Around $100
  • What it’s best for: Thongs and boy shorts that are actually comfy
  • Why we love it: Their undies are pretty and so soft to wear—a true pleasure.

Best Investment Lingerie: Agent Provocateur

Agent Provocateur is where to shop when you want something that’s moody and romantic.

On the opposite end of the vibe spectrum, Agent also carries Marie Antoinette-esque sweet, scallop-edged sets that may feel more approachable for frequent wear.

Best Shapewear Lingerie: Skims

If anyone was going to do shapewear right, it’d be Kim Kardashian. Skims’ collection of ribbed bras, cropped tanks, and boxer shorts work under all kinds of strappy backless tops and dresses, and the stretchy cotton fabric is comfortable enough to wear for hours on end. (We know because we’ve tried Skims’ bra collection ourselves.) Glamour editors are obsessed with Skims’ mesh underwire bra, which comes in a variety of nudes to match various skin tones.

  • Sold at: Skims, Nordstrom, Net-a-Porter

Most Affordable Lingerie: Parade

A fave of Gen Z, Parade puts inclusivity and comfort first. The brand offers everyday underwear styles like seamless bralettes and stretchy briefs, but it’s worth highlighting its lingerie too. Its bodysuits, bras, thongs, and corsets come in playful, nostalgic patterns and prints—rainbows, galaxies, plaid, pasta, and roses—with unexpected features like detachable sleeves. The brand also sells sleepwear and loungewear—all in sizes that swing from XS to 4XL.

We might not be stocking up on “PINK” sweatsuits anymore (or, maybe you are?), but you can find pieces that hop onto today’s most popular trends. Take this cherry-blossom-emblazoned set—it’s positively coquette. VS carries luxury lingerie brands as well, such as For Love & Lemons, Bluebella, Adore Me, and Leonisa.

Most Iconic: Intimissimi

If you’ve ever gone shopping for lingerie before, chances are you’ve heard of Intimissimi. They’re best known for their lacy bodysuits, low-rise panties, fine-crafted corsets, and silky slips in sophisticated colors and styles, and the best part is that most of their pieces will only run you around $100 or less. We can’t resist their slip options, including this form-fitting lacy piece that goes up to size XL and this velvety-lace bandeau bustier that you can pair under a billowing button-down and a pair of jeans.
