What to put under the tree: Chic underwear for yourself or as a gift
Understanding of sexy lingerie in recent years, has changed significantly, the love of underwear brands for strings and bras with underwire has subsided, and the number of decent young minimalist brands is constantly increasing. And yet sometimes you want the underwear to be not only comfortable, but also sensual in the traditional sense - with lace, embroidery, and in general. Let even to the detriment of utility. We chose 16 items that were created not quite to hide them under clothes - such underwear might not be bought once a month, but it is appropriate to give it for holidays like the New Year and it is very pleasant to receive as a gift. All items from the collection can be ordered online.
Bodie Journelle
Journelle is a Claire Shamber project entirely dedicated to underwear. Formally, he has an offline store in New York, but for obvious reasons, the online marketplace is much more popular. Claire managed to turn Journelle into a lingerie counterpart of Net-A-Porter in terms of variety and quality of sampling: everything is really very beautiful there. In addition to third-party brands presented in the store, the project has its own Journelle Collection line - inexpensive and cool. This weightless lace bodysuit with silk ribbon and a super-deep neckline at the back just there. Under his clothes, of course, you don’t bother him much, but such things are bought and not for business meetings. In addition to this nuance, we don’t see flaws: the body design is as simple as effective, and the model itself looks comfortable due to the absence of cups. This is in addition to the obvious.

Panties Agent Provocateur
For obvious reasons, linen collections rarely do without Agent Provocateur: after all, brand designers are difficult to surpass in ingenuity. Love for natural materials brand, too, only at hand. But when choosing a gift (including yourself), try to avoid the complex designs of Agent Provocateur with hundreds of ribbons and fasteners - sometimes it seems that branded models of the brand need engineering education and prejudice against comfortable underwear. Silk pants with a ribbed neckline at the back are just a compromise: they are quite comfortable, but their language cannot be called casual or ordinary.

Body Stella McCartney
When the designer Stella McCartney just started the clothes line, she said that bras and underwear should be such that they can be thrown into the washing machine, and then pulled out and put on in random order - the combinatorial shades themselves add up to the sets. The designer still adheres to this principle, for which she thanks a lot: Stella McCartney's underwear is sexy in the classical sense and at the same time does not look like a lump of frightening type of ribbons and lace, ready to dig into the body. Powdered body - perfect embodiment of the brand's aesthetics. It emphasizes a natural silhouette, through it skin beautifully appears through, and the wide supporting elastic under a breast does not cancel the general solemnity of model. True, this particular thing is still advised to be washed manually (well, not scary).

Scour fleur du mal
When they say "special clothes", it seems, they mean exactly that. There is little practical in it, but the founder of Fleur du Mal, Jennifer Zuckarini, has never relied on utility: this brand has lace and crystals embroidered with almost everything. At the same time it is impossible to reproach the designer with bad taste - she perfectly feels the line between boudoir stylistics and vulgarity. This thin bra with mesh embroidered sequins, closing the nipples, especially suitable for girls with small breasts - a serious support, he does not mean. And yet, if we consider it as “something special,” from time to time, owners of large breasts may also wear this. For a more comfortable fit, the length of the band under the breast is adjustable.

Bras christies
The Italian brand Christies has existed for 35 years, all of its production is in Italy, and in the sense of decor, the team trusts more lace and silk than sequins and non-standard cut. Specifically, this bra would appreciate Dita Von Teese: he supports the chest, but leaves it almost completely naked. The option is not for every day, of course, but it is very suitable for those cases when you want to play around with a burlesque (optionally, you can choose appropriate satin overlays for nipples in this case).

Morgan Lane panties
Morgan Lane - the daughter of designer Jill Stewart: the love of infantilism, apparently, went to her from her mother. In the assortment of her brand there are more relaxed models of satin, cotton and even scuba diving, but it is these panties of silk and silk mesh that best characterize the brand - they are comfortable, funny and sensual at the same time. They do not require any special courage or dedication from the owner, and depending on the other items of underwear they can look very basic (with a soft bra without stones), and not at all nice (with stockings and any bra from our selection).

Dolce & Gabbana Kit
Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana are often reproached for the fact that their collections are always differently arranged transparent dresses with underpants at the waist. But, firstly, this is unfair, and secondly, retrotruses at the waist, combined with classic closed sconces on wide straps, do not become less beautiful from these reproaches. This set can be worn under clothing (including transparent), but its intrinsic value is obvious to everyone who understands that sexy lingerie does not have to be made of three square centimeters of fabric and a meter of silk braid.

Body Mimi Holliday
Damaris Evans has been building his Mimi Holliday brand for the second decade with enviable determination. The brand turned out to be very charming, ironic and generally decent - infantile motifs with asterisks, hearts and lip prints, the designer compensates, for example, with embroidery in the form of a cat, as on this body (who wants to chuckle at ambiguity). If desired, it can be worn as normal clothing - under a jacket or with a crop top. But being put on a naked body, the body looks quite explosive. Minimalistic cut only enhances this effect.

Araks kit
A very beautiful set of cotton crepe with a silk finish seems quite simple only at first glance: thanks to the folds on the chest and buttocks, it sits like a second skin. We like that it is comfortable and not boring, that the designer has invented such large (and also transparent) retrotruses with an emphasized waist with a transparent bra and that it can be worn constantly, and not only on major holidays. Given the above, the price justifies itself - this set has every chance to become the most popular in your wardrobe. On such underwear, Araks Yeramyan made a name for herself, and now cotton sconces from sketches by a graduate of Parsons School of Design are Sarah Jessica Parker and Sofia Coppola.

Dress For Love & Lemons
The number of fans of this Australian brand is already in the millions, so calling it “young Instagram brand” is becoming more difficult every day. However, the For Love & Lemons team doesn’t change its aesthetic ideals and still makes unusual, but quite simply tailored lace underwear that really looks cool in the Instagram square. The price is usually above average, but tolerable. From their assortment, I want to buy almost everything, the best looking dress is a peignoir made of a flesh-colored mesh with a finish of the finest lace and velvet ribbons - it will look great on a naked body and over black or beige linen. Particularly inventive can, by the way, come up with how to wear a dress in a less private setting (say, with pants and body).

Sconce Waking Up With Venus
About the creators of a small but decent brand Waking Up With Venus nothing is unknown, but they do the laundry by hand (already good). The models of the brand seem to be unsophisticated, and in this simplicity they are beautiful: the bandage elements in them alternate with prints from miniature flamingos, so that each of us can choose something in the brand's assortment. For example, bra for small breasts with straps like a bortsovka shirt and lace insert. It is inexpensive, looks cool.

Bandage corporelle
Corporelle is the most famous Russian brand of linen, which St. Petersburg's Ksenia Rechenskaya invented with her mother. Despite the family roots and minimalistic design, the Corporelle underwear is not modest at all - everything is transparent, with lace, velvet and satin. Lightweight and much more fashionable version of the bandage is the brand's business card. It looks especially convincing with sets and belts for stockings, made using the same braid, but you can wear it at least to work with a loose dress code. For example, with a white shirt, leaving the top buttons unbuttoned.

Scon cos
We, in general, will not open America, if we say that you need to go to COS for the best price-quality ratio. Among other things, there is such a gray bra, which can be put on even as underwear, even as a crop top, even as a swimsuit (material allows). Foam lace, frivolous cutouts and lush decor this bra can not boast, but we love COS for something else. In this case, for the fact that deprived of any special will take underwear does not distract attention from the body. Order your friends from Europe and bring souvenirs from trips instead.
£17
Bra oysho
Another cute inexpensive bra popular model. It is comfortable and provides good support for pitted bra (thanks to the triangular inserts on the sides), the nipples are closed with beautiful lace appliqués, and wide straps will take care of a comfortable fit. The rest of the linen Oysho, I think, you already know everything: it is pretty and well-made.

Sconce Feel Me Now_lingerie
The brand Feel Me Now_lingerie is occupied by the Ukrainian Yuliya Spodinskaya - she sews underwear according to individual measurements, so the question of planting disappears by itself, and offers to choose not only the model, but also the material from which the thing will be performed. With this approach, prices for Julia can be saved very sparingly, so here, as you can see, there are some advantages. We especially liked the transforming bra with soft cups: elastic tape, which several times clasps the body, comes off. Thus, the degree of eroticism and comfort is literally regulated by the movement of the hand.

Intimissimi sconce
Cute Intimissimi bra with transparent thin cups is in no way inferior in its aesthetic properties to more expensive items from our selection. The tucks in the middle are responsible for a good fit even on the middle and large breasts (bras of such a model are not often the case), it is not overloaded with details, and because of its reasonable price it can become an absolutely painless way to look at the bra without stones. not worn. An important bonus is that this thing you can go and try on in the nearest Intimissimi store (all of a sudden, you are still afraid of ordering clothes online).
