We think it's reasonable to have reservations about spending a fortune on pieces of clothing that aren't usually made of much fabric. We're talking about underwear—an absolute essential that has plenty of styling possibilities but, more often than not, is hidden from the naked eye.
On one hand, quality of bras and undies is quite important, but that's a topic for another day. At hand, we're focused on lingerie that looks beautiful, does its job, and won't cost you an arm and a leg. From lacy little things to vintage-inspired chemises, here's our edit of affordable underwear worth stocking up on.
