Even though bras and panties are hidden under all the stylish outfits we wear, there’s no reason not to have something a little sexy and fun going on down there. When you want to feel put together, confident, and ready to take on the world, a nice pair of lingerie really does the trick. If you’re new to lingerie shopping, it can feel a little daunting. Here are our recommendations for five shops where you can score cute and affordable underwear that’s great for lingerie newbies.
Urban Outfitters
Urban Outfitters is known for its exceptional style and fit, and their lingerie is no exception. While some pieces from UO are on the more expensive side, their frequent sales make high-quality pieces more accessible to a college budget. Grab a lace bralette for days when you’re feelin’ yourself or have some special plans with your SO for that night.
Adore Me
Adore Me has received a lot of buzz for its insanely cute lingerie at insanely affordable prices. Adore Me works almost like your own lingerie stylist, asking you questions about your tastes so that they can curate pieces that you will most likely love. Basically, there’s no way for it to go wrong when you’re a first-time shopper.
Forever 21
Forever 21 has made its own efforts to have all-inclusive sizes, lingerie included. While the Forever 21 small sizes definitely run small, their inclusion of plus sizes provides more options for all body types. Plus, since this chain is nearly everywhere, this is a great destination when you’re looking to buy lingerie and don’t know where to start.
Hips and Curves
A site that specializes in lingerie for plus-size women? Yes, please! Hips and Curves makes both adorable and elegant lingerie that are available in a wide array of sizes, most notably larger sizes that hug the curves well instead of digging into them. Definitely, check them out if you want lingerie made for your body but feel intimidated by stores that aren’t typically as ~form friendly~.
Target
Target has never failed us in the affordability department, including lingerie. Not only does Target provide budget-friendly options, but their pieces are so chic, it’s impossible not feel uber sexy in them.
Beautiful lingerie is much more accessible nowadays, and there are so many places to start when you’re new to buying ~sensual~ underwear. Have fun finding the perfect set that unleashes your inner goddess!
