If your underwear drawer is anything like mine you’ll have bras and knickers for just about every eventuality, including not doing any washing for around four weeks!
But if you prefer to live a more minimalist life but don’t know where to start, with so many options out there, there really are only five products you actually need to get by.
Comfortable briefs
We all want comfortable underwear and have those go to pants which we pull out to wear under anything, whether it’s a day at work or for lounging around on the couch.
Shorts are the perfect option if you prefer full coverage underwear, and because of the range of cuts available they also create a smooth silhouette with no visible panty lines and are one of the most comfortable options on the market.
These shorts from Freya are just perfect, because not only are they super cute but they’re also comfortable and invisible under clothing.
They also come in three different colours – black, grey and vanilla.
A thong
We’ve spoken before about thongs being the marmite of the underwear world. Women either love them or hate them but every drawer should have one.
We all have those outfits, usually dresses, which show off everything and that’s where a thong comes to the rescue.
Whether it’s a well fitted dress so you need to ensure you have no VPL, or something in a sheer fabric then a thong is the only option.
But if you’re only going to buy one, we’d go for nude, so it works under any colour of clothing.
A t-shirt bra
We all know about the different options, when it comes to bras, and granted different outfits do look better with certain bras. Whether it’s a plunge bra to create a better cleavage or a balcony bra to give a better lift but if you only have one then a t-shirt bra provides the most versatility.
This Freya Lingerie Deco Delight in charcoal is the perfect option. As well as being comfortable, it will go under just about every type of top because of the seamless, moulded cups so no matter how tight the top is you wear, there are no lumps and bumps which aren’t meant to be there.
Shapewear
Every underwear collection needs an item of shapewear, for either those days when you have something to hide or to create the perfect silhouette under a certain outfit.
Whether it’s your stomach or your thighs that need a bit of help, the Freya Lingerie Deco Strapless slip can help.
It will not only smooth and slim any lumps and bumps the moulded cups create the perfect shape under every outfit. It also comes with adjustable and removable straps in the matching colour as well as clear.
Sexy
Not every day has to be about comfort and practicality though, we all need a go to sexy set, whether it’s to make ourselves feel better or to impress a special someone.
We all love to feel sexy and feminine once in a while, which is why lace is still one of the main go to fabrics.
The Cleo underwired balconnet bra from Panache is one of our favourites right now. The semi-sheer upper cup fabric adds a sexy finish to an already cute ditzy print. The bra also comes with sexy matching knickers.
