T-Shirt Bras! Lace Teddies! Sculpting Shorts! These Are The Lingerie and Intimates Our Editors Are Loving

Stylists and fashion people will agree that the behind-the-scenes work that proper undergarments do for a look is highly unappreciated. Yes, seamless thongs are necessary for a skin-tight silhouette; peek-a-boo lace bras are a 2026 lingerie trend spotted on runways; and silk slips can be the saving grace for an ultra-sheer moment. But comfort and confidence are the defining qualities of a good undergarment. Whether seen or unseen, intimates are exactly that, intimate. If you are feeling flirty, a lace-trim or satin finish will do. If practicality is your motivation, a Calvin Klein T-shirt Bra will suffice. If you're looking for support, Commando's Control Shorts. Or if you want your bedtime routine to feel special, a cotton nightgown is the answer.

The right undergarments are dependent on your needs. So, I asked our editor for their go-to intimates, loungewear, and shapewear to learn how they approach undergarment shopping. Be prepared for lots of pointelle sets, comfortable thongs, breathable nightgowns, and more.

Ahead, discover our editor's favorite pointelle sets, satin bras, lace teddies, T-shirt bras, and so much more. Expand your lingerie collection, solve any undergarment troubles, or simply make dressing feel extra special. Scroll on to shop our editor-approved finds from It-girl-trusted brands like Cou Cou Intimates, Fleu du Mal, LDMA, and Araks, 2026 lingerie trends, and relaxed everyday basics.

Gita Underwire Bra Glacé
