We try not to be too prescriptive when it comes to fashion here at Who What Wear, whether that’s in relation to the shoe trends spiking on the runways or the rogue bikini trend proliferating on Instagram. Of course, we’ll never turn down a good dose of style inspo (the more the merrier), but we like to think that we offer you a range of options that you can pick and choose from.
However, there are some things that really are fundamental to building a successful wardrobe foundation, and one of those is underwear. Feeling secure, confident and comfortable in what lies beneath is so important for starting the day the right way. And while everyone has different requirements in the lingerie stakes—depending on their shape and size—we found that, after a quick survey of the office, there were certain underwear styles that cropped up again and again. These eight styles, specifically, have been invaluable throughout our twenties and beyond.
Obviously, this list isn’t reserved for those under the age of 30. Whether you’re 18 or 80, it’s so liberating to give your underwear drawer a spring clean and invest in some time-tested, winning staples. Scroll down to see the styles that make up our lingerie capsule.
