Brief Encounter: Lingerie We Love

Get out of an underwear rut with our edit of the prettiest undies.

This has been the year in which the mere act of stepping out of our leisurewear and into something a touch more presentable was something to feel smug about. Bothering about what to wear underneath, meanwhile, felt like a concern for a pre corona world. And yet now, here we are once again beginning to feel in the frame of mind to, at least on occasion, don some special underwear that not only looks good on its own, but also makes the silhouette – and thus our clothes – look better, too. The joy of throwing on new underwear is akin to that of slipping in between clean sheets: and these are the smalls that we have our eyes on right now.
