Your Sustainable Lingerie Starter-Pack

Your Sustainable Lingerie Starter-Pack

In a positive turn, we’ve all begun to care more and more about where our clothing is coming from. From demanding sustainable practices from our favorite fast fashion brands to seeing luxury houses publicly announce their commitment towards forging an eco-friendly path, the spotlight on green fashion has hit its stride. But, what about our under-clothing? The lingerie and intimates we wear shouldn’t just be an afterthought — both in design and in sustainability. If we’re starting to hold our clothes to higher social and economic standards, the same should go for what we wear beneath it all. And if you’re just starting your sustainable-shopping journey, intimates are the perfect place to start.

Fortunately, there’s a fresh crop of cute (and sexy!) undies brands out there that are checking off all the boxes, without sacrificing style. And platforms like Instagram are making it easier to discover them one after the next. Because if there’s anything we don’t want looking like an afterthought, it’s the pieces we’re trying to sport during sexy-times. Inserting a brief pause here to add a reminder that lingerie isn’t only for other people. Your partner or significant other may benefit from it, but at the end of the day, the best lingerie is chosen for yourself. And part of feeling good in it is feeling good about where it’s coming from.

Indulge in the sustainable-chic picks ahead so you can look good and feel good (in more ways than just one…).

At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.

Jonesy

On top of making damn good (and ultra-comfortable) lingerie, Jonesy also excels in transparency. From production to supply chain to values — every aspect of founder Rachel Jones’ business is ripe for the taking on the brands website.

Fruity Booty

Fruity Booty makes feel-good lingerie — and not because it’s soft, comfy, and ultra-sexy. Instead, it’s the ethical and sustainable practices that the London-based brand swears by that makes Fruity Booty such a crowd-pleaser. From 100% recyclable packaging to the surplus fabrics used in production, we guarantee that there will be no guilt felt after purchasing a set from Fruity Booty.
