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.
