13 Lingerie Brands That Will Upgrade Your Top Drawer

Best For: Elevated essentials

Built on the vision of eponymous founder, Simone Pérèle’s desire for lingerie that doesn’t force a woman to “choose between being comfortable and feeling beautiful”, the french label is the epitome of luxury in lingerie. Opening her atelier in Paris in 1948 following her training as a corset maker, Pérèle set out to break tradition and create intimates that are as intricate as they are wearable.

Comfort, affordability, and ethical production standards are at the core of the Nala brand. The brand prioritises inclusive sizing, with bras going to an Australian band size 26 and H cup, with larger-busted people particularly singing the praises of the strapless underwire bra. It isn’t particularly lifting, but many praise the bra for being supportive — far more so than many other brands.

Known for its breathable bamboo fabrication, Boody is the reliable and affordable intimates label to turn to if you prioritise comfort above all else.

Best For: Buttery soft bras

First Thing is an Australian underwear label that prioritises comfort above all else. The soft and stretchy fabric is breathable and cooling, plus, the cups on The Everyday Bra also have some stretch to them, which we find particularly helpful as the size of our breasts fluctuates through the month, and this always sits flush to the skin through it all.
