The Best Lingerie Boutiques to Shop Online

5:00 PM Bilal Muazin No comments

Lingerie shopping doesn't have to be a hellish experience, with high school girls pushing push-up bras at the mall or lifer department store saleswomen with measuring tapes and dated taste. No, not when we have the internet, which is full of ways to find your perfect fit, both physically and stylistically.

Here we've rounded up the very best places to hunt down your next everyday bra or show-stopping investment piece for all sizes, style preferences, skin tones, and budgets. To make browsing even easier, we've organized the list into three categories: standout pieces (for luxe lingerie, extra-pretty robes, bustiers, garter belts, and more), everyday (versatile bras, undies, and comfy sleepwear), and wide selection (boutiques with a sizable assortment of brands, styles, and prices).

Standout Pieces

Adore Me: Fill out a quiz that addresses your lingerie style preferences and fit details, and you'll be guided into your own personal Adore Me "showroom." Your first bra and panty set is discounted to $25, and there is a large range of styles that are plenty sexy but also wouldn't be totally out of place in your weekday under-wardrobe. For special occasions, there are corsets, babydoll sets, and more priced at just $40. Extra points for offeringÂ sizes up to 42G.

Agent Provocateur: Incredibly luxe â€" and equivalently spendy â€" fantasy gear at your disposal. Shop here for garter belts, corsets, and kimonos, as well as accessories like masks, satin gloves, andÂ inexplicably handsome whips.

Anya Lust: Lust is right there in the name, and this is where to turn when you're ready to throw down on some really, really special pieces. The entire site is dedicated to luxe lingerie, covering everything from bras and bottoms to robes, garter belts, and teddies.

Fleur du Mal: Fleur du Mal definitely errs on the side of very sexy â€" think sheer lace bras and panties, silk tap shorts, garters, and even velvet thongs. It's also a bit expensive (this bra, for example, is $95), but they do always run aÂ sale. On top of lingerie, the brand also makes boudoir-inspired clothes, like silk slip dresses and bodysuits.

Harlow & Fox: The lingerie at Harlow & Fox is designed for women who are between a DD and G cup, which can be frustrating to shop for. If you're a fan of vintage-style bras and underwear, this is definitely the spot for you (check out theÂ Augusta Jet andÂ Eleanor Hazel collections for proof).

l'agent bodysuit

Hopeless:Â This brand describes itself as "dark and modern," which translates to stuff that feels alt and S&M without being allÂ 50 Shades of Grey about it.Â The brand leans heavy into harnesses, so there are a lot of strappy bralettes and bodysuits, suspenders, and peek-a-boo "knickers" to shop.

L'Agent: Like a present from the lingerie gods (goddesses?), Agent Provocateur launched this lower-priced line that's undoubtedly sexy, but a little more playful. Bows, florals, and sheer polka dots are the kinds of details you'll find here, but done in a way that's more "fuck yeah I love being a girl" than pandering gender norms.

La Perla: So beautiful andÂ so many dollars: This is the breathtaking stuff that might turn you into "a lingerie girl." Here, find eyelash lace-topped bustiers and honeymoon-appropriate babydolls to celebrate your power couple status.

Oh la la Cherie: This Miami-based lingerie brand comes with a self-described "French flaire," so expect a lot of very sexy stuff: lace, open bras, balconettes, garters, mesh bodysuits, and more. They also recently launched a "Curve" section, so you can shop a full range of sizes all in one place.

Baserange: Fashioned in bamboo jersey with retro-leaning silhouettes, this is lingerie that's sexy because it's about your body as is, not any sort of pushed-up, cinched-in version. Most of the simple styles come in versatile shades like navy and off-white, but don't overlook theÂ bodysuit range for something a little different.

Brook There: This Portland, Maine-based indie label makes pretty, everyday underwear sets in all organic cottons and silks, in bright, color-blocked solids. The T-shirts, slips, and camisoles are worth checking out, too.

Blue Stocking Boutique: This shop's tagline is "underwear for everyone," with a mission to "empower people who have been marginalized by the mainstream lingerie" and a strong focus on the LGBTQIA+ community. The selection here is quite wide, ranging from T-shirt bras toÂ binding briefs.

Shop Undone: If you're into the whole minimalist, independent label underwear thing, you're going to love Undone.Â Land of Women,Â Baserange, Pansy, and several other boutique favoritesÂ are all represented here. One huge plus: The website shows models of all sizes without any major retouching, so you can actually see what the underwear will look like without perfect lighting.

Lively: Lively is one of those brands that might be too millennial for its own good (the customer service chat greets you with "Hey Babe!"), but it does put out some comfortable and cute soft bras and underwear in girly prints and tomboy-ish stripes. You earn points that can go toward Lively product when you make a purchase or refer a friend, Ã la Glossier, which is great if you're looking to stock up.

Thinx: This New York City brand hasn't just minimized some of the stigma that accompanies menstruation, but they've arguably made talking about your period cool, thanks in part to great viral marketing. The collection is simple: a line of underwear that can hold up to two tampons' worth of blood, available in different absorption levels depending on your cycle, from light-day thongs to heavy-day hip huggers. Wear them solo, or as a backup.

Nubian Skin

Negative Underwear: This NY-based women-designed brand is a little pricey for basics (underwear starts at $28), but everything is super comfortable and well-designed. They also offer custom embroidery and makes perfect tees, so we're sold.

Nubian Skin: Finally, a brand that makes so-called "nude" underwear in colors that work for women of color. Nubian Skin's bras, undies, and hosiery come in a range of brown and tan hues and styles, from plain, smooth under-T-shirt bras to lacy sets.

Pansy: If you frequent the boutique scene, you've definitely seen this brand's simple cotton bralettes and panties in deep saturated hues. With the zig-zag hem, they're basically the cute, trendy, minimalist version of granny panties.

Sleepy Jones: This men's women's, and kid's pajama brand makes surprisingly cute lingerie too, from lace balconette bras and matching panties to triangle bralettes to cotton/modal thongs. Prices start around $20 per piece (for a thong).

Thirdlove: Perfect fit is no joke here. In addition to offering half cup sizes (!!!), ThirdLove also has a super smart app that uses image recognition algorithms to assess size via two pictures you snap of yourself in a tank top. Ta da â€" perfect-fitting bras.

White Rabbit: This brand makes some of the most comfortable everyday underwear, thanks to its stretchy lace and bamboo fabrics that feel a lot softer and are more durable than cotton. The underwear line includes thongs, "cheekinis," bikinis, and boyshorts, and it just launched bras, too.

Journelle Undies

Widest Selection

Bare Necessities: As the name suggests, pretty much all first layers are covered here: underwear, activewear, swimwear, and shapewear. There are over 200 brands on the roster, offering everything from Wacoal minimizers to BracliÂ pearl thongs.

Hips & Curves:Â There's a lot to shop at Hips & Curves: bras, shapewear, leather, hosiery, pajamas, and even costumes (like the standard Santa garter belt), all in plus-size.Â Prices are all on the affordable side, with special deals like two bras for $42 and three panties for $36.

Journelle: A broad selection of designers, price points, and styles makes this NYC-based boutique aÂ must-shop. To cut through the massive assortment, there are helpful edits like "best selling bras under $70" and "top 12 thongs." Your best bet for a Big Night is theÂ accessories page, which includes garters, eye masks, and more than one nipple cover option.

Net-a-Porter: The luxury e-tailer stocks everything fromÂ Eberjey andÂ Hanky Panky to designer lingerie fromÂ Stella McCartney,Â Hanro,Â Eres, and more (the list goes on). There's also a great selection ofÂ bridal lingerie, should you be in the market.

Oui Hours: This entirely-lingerie site has a massive selection of intimates ranging from fancy bras to everyday shapewear. There's a large range of price points and styles covered, including a dedicatedÂ bridal section (with registry). AÂ magazine component offers shoppable editorials, bedroom Spotify mixes, and more.

True & Co.: True & Co. starts you out with a quiz to find your size across a bevy of brands, Calvin Klein, Natori, and True & Co.'s own Uniform line among them. From there, it's easy to see not only what styles will likely fit you best, but which size from each brand you should order.

Yandy: Yandy can be kind of ridiculous (need anyÂ Christmas lingerie? Because they've got it), but there's a hell of a lot there. Shop everything from sports bras to crotchless panties all in the same place; don't overlook the affordable, everyday bras and underwear hidden among the uber-sexy lineup (and note the extended size options).
