Common misconception: Shopping for underwear for women is pretty basic. Yes, panties are basics (ha, ha) but if underwear shopping feels like a slew of ehh-thatâs-not-great-but-itâll-do compromises, youâre not alone. There are so many factors to take into account!
Comfort is obviously key, because even the most fire outfit canât make up for underwear that rides up, pinches, scratches, or bunches up against your skin in the most miserable way. Style is also an important factor, bc that confidence boost you get from knowing youâre wearing pretty undies is powerful. And then thereâs the question of fitâthong, hipster, bikini, brief, or boyshort? High-rise or low-rise?! Basically, matching the right undies to your OOTD is a full-time job.
But no matter which type of underwear you prefer, I donât want you stressing over finding the perfect pair to check every box (you have way more important things to think about) so Iâve gathered the best underwear for women from top brands that provide the support, comfort, cuteness, function, or spice youâre in need of, ASAP.
