Spicing up your Halloween night doesn’t have to mean going to the scariest haunted house or playing a prank on an unknowing trick-or-treater. Sometimes the most thrilling activities can be enjoyed right within the comforts of your own home. And this spooky season, you can give the ultimate Halloween treat to yourself (or a partner!) by adding a few more pairs of Halloween panties to your lingerie drawer.
ICYMI: according to TikTok, it’s no longer enough to simply worry about shopping out the perfect Halloween costume — you’ve also got to take your own Halloween-themed underwear into account, too. The cheeky style is already proving to be one of this year’s hottest trends, and for more reasons than one. Not only are these intimates festive, but they’re also sinfully sexy. You can wear a pair under your cute costume or forgo the costume all together (we’re sure your partner won’t mind).
These alluring undies go beyond the basic undergarment and truly capture the thrill and enchantment of the season. Complete with candy-coated prints and matching couple’s sets, check out this year’s most bewitching women’s Halloween underwear options. And don’t worry, you can thank us later.

Victoria’s Secret is known for its sultry silhouettes and bombshell looks, but the brand was most notably known for its annual fashion show. Catapulting the careers of models like Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel, and Tyra Banks, and cementing legends like Heidi Klum and Naomi Campbell as supermodels, the Victoria’s Secret Angel became iconic.
Although the brand canceled the annual fashion show, it is introducing itself with a fresh new format that takes viewers on a journey of more than just runway walks and elaborate wings. It’s also ditched the singular beauty ideals of the “Angel” and launched the VS Collective, a group of diverse women who represent the brand, including Adut Akech, Priyanka Chopra, Megan Rapinoe, and Naomi Osaka, to name a few. “Victoria’s Secret The Tour ’23,” available to stream on Amazon Prime Video, features behind-the-scenes footage and stories of creating the fashion event, but also dives into the inspiration behind the collection. The best part? You can shop the curated looks inspired by the show on the brand’s site and on Amazon as of today.
“The Tour ’23” features the VS20, a group of global creatives who ideated four collections inspired by the cities of Bogota, Lagos, London, and Tokyo. Glamour and allure are at the core of the designs, with a fresh, modern take on silhouettes and artistry. Featuring familiar faces like Gigi Hadid and Lily Aldridge, who have graced the runways of the brand’s fashion show in the past, along with Valentina Sampaio, Paloma Elsesser, and some of the VS Collective models, “The Tour ’23” is a beautiful blend of the brand’s history adapted to the present times. “The Tour ’23”-inspired collection features a wide range of lingerie, including bras, bodysuits, and bustiers, as well as lounge-worthy satin robes and pajama sets. Whether it’s a teddy you can wear as a bodysuit or a bustier that pairs perfectly with a blazer, you can style all of these pieces to your liking.
Ahead, we rounded up our favorite styles from the curated collection, so you can add a slice of Victoria’s Secret’s glamour and sexiness to all your outfits.
“These are the best panties EVER. No matter what you are doing- date night to running a marathon, these are the most comfortable and attractive underwear a lady can have. I have looked for years for an acceptable, lower-cost alternative for Hanky Pankies, but I have never found anything as comfortable and that last as long, despite the fact that I wash and dry these (which I’m sure you are not supposed to). After years of research, I have concluded that these are worth every penny.” — Review
“When Hanky Panky showed up, they redefined what comfortable, durable panties looked like. Yes, the price is high but we’ve been using this brand for 15+ years with no complaints. One of those products that’s simply worth their cost.” — Review
Fact: We love our bodies. But every now and then, we come across a moment where we want a little bit of extra control—especially where our butts are concerned. And for as many squats and lunges we do at the gym, having a butt like Jennifer Lopez or Beyoncé doesn’t come overnight. Luckily, when you want to give yourself an extra boost on short notice, there’s butt-lifting shapewear to help you out.
While you could always search for a pair of jeans that make your butt look the best it can be, why not do that with all your bottoms and dresses alike? After all, who wouldn’t want a little pick-me-up (sorry, we had to)? From classic briefs that will leave you with a seamless finish under all your clothes to sculpting shorts that provide complete support around your waist and thighs, scroll down to shop the shapewear that will make your backside look exceptionally good.
I’ll admit it, I’m somewhat of a lingerie snob. Especially when it comes to panties / underwear bottoms. There’s nothing worse than overpriced, uncomfortable undergarments that not only don’t feel great but can actually ruin your outfit. Which we don’t want. Oftentimes people overlook the fact that undergarments are key to having a stylish wardrobe. I’ve seen way too many looks ruined by underwear lines or underwear peeking out of a look, but not to worry – they’re are 7 underwear brands that always get the job done. These 7 are the backbone of my underwear collection, and as someone who is a self proclaimed panty snob you’re going to want to check these out.
Keep scrolling to see which underwear brands I swear by.
There’s no denying that underwear is an essential part of our daily lives – and more specifically, our wardrobes. While we often don’t think about the ones we’ll throw on first thing in the morning or when we step out of the shower, having a wide array of options is important. Every outfit calls for a different type of underwear style, from cheeky options that won’t show lines under a bodycon dress to comfortable styles that you’ll be glad to lounge around in on a day off. This season, we’re making it our mission to only own and invest in quality and purposeful wardrobe essentials, and that goes straight down to our undergarments, too.
To help determine the best and most practical options out there, we shopped and broke down five essential types of underwear that are worth adding to your closet – and which precise styles you should be stocking up on from brands like Natori, ThirdLove, Skims, and more. Whether you’re looking for something sexy or comfortable, we’ve got you covered. From classic brands you probably know and love to new direct-to-consumer brands that make seriously impressive pieces, it’ll be hard to leave without wanting an entire new collection. Keep reading to see which ones end up in your drawer.
If there’s anyone that can appreciate a good pair of underwear, it’s a fashion editor. Choosing a great outfit is only half the part. What good is a beautiful dress if the undergarments beneath aren’t up to par?
While we’ve covered a few of the specific lingerie styles our editors swear by in the past, we thought we’d dig a little deeper into the key underwear brands we have on speed dial. These brands are not just for comfort, but they’re also high quality, meaning they’ll actually last. The best underwear is only as good as how it stands up after countless wash cycles.
So with all that in mind, keep scrolling to check out which underwear brands we’ll always have stocked in our lingerie drawers. From the pretty to the pragmatic, they’re the quintessential building blocks of any wardrobe.
Kylie Jenner is promoting her new Kylie Cosmetics Gloss Drip shades with a wet-effect campaign image, posted to her Instagram page on July 31. The 25-year-old beauty mogul often strips down for brand photo shoots, but this latest series presents an elevated take on the naked trend, as Jenner’s sequin crop top and high-waisted nude briefs are the exact color of her skin tone.
Jenner, who launched Kylie Cosmetics in 2014, stares directly at the camera with her darkly-lined lips pursed to show off the liquid-like appearance of her famous product. Her dark hair is wet and tossed effortlessly across her face, and there are noticeable water droplets on her thighs, as if she just took a dip in the pool. Jenner opted for a translucent, square-shaped manicure for the shoot, as well as pink cheeks, plenty of highlighter, and caramel-tinted eye shadow.
“So comfortable! I had never actually owned any boy shorts before but I wanted some fully cotton underwear for sleep and these are perfect. Obviously, lots of coverage especially compared to other Skims underwear options but my boyfriend complimented them and it barely even feels like wearing anything at all.” — Hannah
“I love the Skims Cotton collection! I have bought all styles and colors and I just keep buying. I am truly a die-hard fan of this brand of undies and bras! She definitely knows what women need.” — Tina G.
“I was going for comfort when purchasing but was pleasantly surprised that it accentuated my bum the best of all the models I purchased here. It just holds my entire badonkadonk and gives it a little lift. I’d go for this over other styles.” — Phoebe K.
“Love the fit. Love the feel. Love the colors. I went back and bought 5 more pairs in each color. Recommended them to my cousin and she loves hers too. We are different height/weight… Pretty sure these will look and feel great on every body. Love!!!” — Laney L.
Though our jeans, T-shirts, sneakers, and tanks get tons of use throughout the year, not even our most frequented wardrobe items are employed as often as our underwear, aka the starting point for every good outfit. Because of this, it’s essential that the pairs we invest in are good, meaning that they fit well, are comfortable all day long, and don’t show through whatever’s worn above them. It’s a big job and one that’s rarely achieved on all fronts.
For those who happen to wear a size above 16, finding a pair of panties that checks off every box is all the more difficult due to the fact that many of the lingerie world’s major players still refuse to design with the majority of women in mind. But according to the five style experts ahead, there are size-inclusiveunderwear brands that have mastered the trade in a major way. All you need is a point in the right direction to find them. Scroll down to see which size-inclusive underwear brands passed their test and shop their all-time favorite pairs each.
If you’re looking for a sign, this is it: Clean out your underwear drawer.
As someone who heavily procrastinates on throwing out too-worn bras and underwear, I can understand the hesitation to let go of comfortable intimates that you’ve worn for years. (I’m a creature of habit, too!) When I saw this year’s Amazon Prime Day deals, though, I knew it was a wrap for the cotton briefs I’ve had stuck in the back of my underwear drawer since middle school.
For the next two days, some of the most comfortable, well-reviewed underwear, bras, thongs, and boxer shorts are deeply discounted thanks to Amazon’s stellar Prime Day deals. Some of our favorite brands, including Calvin Klein and Victoria’s Secret are on the table, with deals up to 50% off. Now that I’m turning a new leaf and getting real grown-up underwear, these 27 finds have passed my test of being both cute and comfortable.

When it comes to my underwear, I’m one to keep things simple and low-fuss—very much unlike the rest of my wardrobe. Sure, I have a couple of sexy sets saved for special occasions, but most days, I’m reaching for pieces that are easy and, most importantly, comfortable to wear all day long. That said, I’ve been filling my underwear drawer with nothing but silk as of late.
Here’s the thing: Out of the many materials our bras and underwear can be made from these days, silk is genuinely one of the greatest options. Not only does it have a luxurious feel, but it’s also breathable and boasts moisture-wicking abilities—a must for anything worn right up against the skin. Plus, even in the form of a basic brief or bralette, its silky sheen is undeniably alluring.
Ahead, I rounded up nine of the best silk-underwear brands out there at every price point and style. Keep scrolling to check them out, and shop their greatest hits while you’re at it.
We all wear underwear every day (presumably, of course), and that means it’s usually easy to pinpoint which style is your favorite. Hipsters, bikinis, high-waisted, G-strings—you name it. However, in the summertime, we can’t recommend a cotton thong enough. They are true game changers.
Sure, cotton is the most breathable and comfortable fabric to have on your body all day, but when paired with a thong’s seamless silhouette, it creates a smooth feeling underneath your clothing that doesn’t make you hyper-aware of your every movement. (So key in summer.)
Below we’ve rounded up the best cotton thongs that will have you rethinking your usual undergarment ways and hopefully for the better.
Despite my love for formfitting pants, I’ve never gotten along with thongs. Trust me—I’ve tried. But after years of trying to find a discreet place to pick a wedgie (excuse the TMI, but we’re all friends here), I threw in the towel and resigned myself a life of VPL so serious it could be spotted from outer space.
Until I discovered boy shorts, that is. There’s something about the cut that magically erases those pesky panty lines. The style is a fashion godsend: They lay (virtually) seamlessly under even the stretchiest jeans and provide a bit of a safeguard for those flippy Rèalisation dresses we all have in our spring wardrobes.
The best part? The fashion world has finally gotten clued in to the functional staple—which means there are plenty of styles that are every bit as alluring as those thongs you can’t bring yourself to wear. Read on to discover a breakdown of the best boy shorts.
For all the reasons we love investing in gorgeous lingerie (e.g., the happiness and confidence boost, the varying trends, and ultimately, the sheer fact that it’s pretty), we also love having the best cotton underwear in our intimates drawers. We’ll take any reason to sport a beautiful matching set underneath our everyday clothes, but at the end of the day, we crave comfort.
You’ve probably already seen this as a major trend in the intimates section, as many women are swapping their lace underwear for cotton briefs or even athleisure-inspired lingerie. If you haven’t added these to your collection, now’s the time.
We know you love peak comfort as much as we do, so we rounded up the best cotton underwear to have in your lingerie collection now. Whether you plan to lounge around the house in them or save your delicate underpinnings for more special occasions, there’s no reason you shouldn’t want to stock up on this comfortable underwear style.
These days, there are about 100 different types of bras and materials to choose between, from seamless and extra-padded bras to unlined and underwire bras. But when it comes to comfort, none usurp a good cotton bra. It’s really the next best thing to being braless, and when you’ve spent a lifetime wearing ultra-structured bras with underwires, you know just how big that is.
Since we’re firm believers that great lingerie is also meant to be seen, feel free to incorporate these options into your everyday outfits too. Brands have stepped it up lately on the aesthetic front, so these cotton bras are as pretty as they are practical.
While I’m a huge proponent of online shopping, the reality is that certain items aren’t easy to buy online. Items like denim and bras, where fit is the most important aspect (and varies drastically across different brands and styles), are especially hard to order online when you’re just guessing a size and hoping for the best.
It’s items like these that I look to the reviews for guidance. Not only do reviewers often give lengthy descriptions of the product, but they also provide personal context about themselves and how that particular item worked for them, given their body type, height, etc. I find this infinitely more helpful than the basic product description because I can search for people who describe themselves as having a similar build to my own and use that to guide my purchasing decisions. Also, reviewers are brutally honest about whether the product is worth your time and money, so you know upfront if you’re getting a quality item.
Since shapewear is another category that’s particularly tricky to shop for online, I went ahead and scanned the reviews at sites like Nordstrom, Shopbop, Amazon, and Spanx to see which styles stood out. With a combined total of over 3400 reviews, below are the 20 best shapewear bodysuits I found.
If you have a formal occasion such as a wedding or party to attend in the future, figuring out what to wear underneath your dresses should be the least of your worries. But if you’re the type of person who prefers to have a little extra support for those occasions, know that there’s a type of shapewear designed for every style of dress. To find out, we asked fashion stylist Alyssa Sutter, who has dressed multitudes of celebrity clients (including Lucy Hale), for her go-to undergarments for any style of dress she’s working with. See what she recommends below.
“An A-line or fit-and-flare dress is actually very flattering,” Sutter says. “This silhouette would require minimal shapewear. Depending on your shape or size, you can try classic high-waisted shorts, briefs, or a waist cincher.”
Perfect to wear underneath a dark color.
You’ll feel completely supported in these.
The cotton makes these the coziest shapewear to add to your collection.
Mothers-to-be, these will be your go-to shapewear shorts.
If you’re wearing something shorter, these briefs will be perfect.
You’ll turn to this shapewear time and time again.
“[For a body-con dress], I would recommend a full slip or bodysuit with a built-in bra,” Sutter says. “This is the best way to ensure no lines or creases will be shown… Another option would be a thin control-top thong if you just want to slim the tummy a bit.”
You’ll no doubt have a smooth look all night long with this.
These come in nine great colors to ensure a match.
Give yourself all the support you need in this bodysuit with a built-in bra.
If you don’t want to wear a bodysuit, this will give some tummy control without leaving a panty line.
This bodysuit is a fan favorite among our editors.
Who said shapewear can’t be sultry?
“Shapewear with extended pantyhose or a catsuit is perfect for under a maxi dress,” Sutter says. “This is the best way to keep your figure looking smooth from top to bottom.”
These will be practically invisible underneath your dress.
Not only will these leggings support your legs, but they will also give you a boost in the behind, too.
You’ll have seamless coverage from head to toe.
Surprisingly comfortable.
For maxi dresses with high slits, this slip dress will work perfectly underneath.
You’ll feel fabulous in these.
“There are great undergarments specifically for plunging necklines and low backs,” Sutter says. “Plunging slips and convertible bras will keep you covered for the trickiest necklines. Adhesive bras can be worn with open-back and plunging necklines.”
Even the lowest necklines will be no match for this Spanx bodysuit.
Adjust the straps on these to accommodate any type of neckline you have.
This bodysuit by Skims will do the trick.
This will definitely be staying in place.
When you need a seamless finish, wear this with all your plunging dresses.
This one has rave reviews on Nordstrom’s website.
“[A slip skirt] is a great shapewear item if you are wearing anything semi-sheer,” Sutter says.”
This lace is so pretty.
Planning to wear something semi-sheer? You can’t go wrong with this slip skirt.
A wardrobe essential.
So sleek.
This will be sure to create a smooth line under the skirt of your dress.
This is actually cute enough to wear on its own.
“If you’re wearing a strapless dress, I’d suggest a strapless slip or bodysuit,” Sutter says. “You can find many options with different necklines to mimic the neckline of your dress.”
Rest assured this bodysuit will stay in place.
This might be one of the most comfortable pieces of shapewear ever.
Wearing that strapless tube dress just got easier.
Trust me when I say this slip is a game-changer.
With four stars on Amazon, it’s safe to say this is a good buy.
When in doubt, shaping briefs always work.

Lately, it feels like I can’t go one conversation about either basics and shapewear without someone raving about Skims. The funny thing is, I have not yet tried the popular brand, so I have admittedly felt a little out of the loop. This left me asking my circle of fashion friends which of the pieces they swear by. Sure enough, most of them are die-hard fans and even collectors. This, of course, is no surprise with the incredible rise of Skims.
A huge reason for that success, according to my friends, is the fact that all the pieces provide comfort without sacrificing style, thanks to the practical and effortless designs that are made in soft fabrics. We’re talking comfy thongs, versatile tops and body suits, cotton basics, effective shapewear, and so much more. Another welcome detail: the collections come in a wide range of sizes, which is always appreciated. Keep scrolling to check out thirty-one of the best Skims pieces to check out now.
“The newest trend in underwear is definitely the high-cut French brief.” Boom. You heard it here first courtesy of former Journelle Head of Product Development Sandra Rose, aka the woman in charge of knowing what’s new and next in the underwear space. There are a couple of reasons to get on board with the trend, but my primary motive? The underwear style makes your legs look way longer.
“With the band sitting at your natural waist, it gives you legs for days!” says Rose. Fleur du Mal founder Jennifer Zuccarini agrees: “High-cut styles elongate the line of your leg and emphasize your waistline because they sit higher, on a smaller part of your waist than, say, a hip-hugger style.” Another, more practical plus of the high-cut underwear trend? “With a higher rise, they are less likely to bunch when you’re wearing high-waisted pants and skirts,” says Rose.
As for where the reemergence of the high-cut French brief trend came from, Zuccarini attributes it to Instagram It models like Kendall Jenner, Bella and Gigi Hadid, and Emily Ratajkowski as well as ’90s supermodels like Naomi Campbell. Just like with any trend, “it takes time and the right people wearing it again and again for people to adopt a new look like this,” says Zuccarini.
Since the look has been gaining steam for a moment, the time is now to hop on the high-cut underwear trend. To help you with that aim, we rounded up the best options along with some visual inspiration to get started.
