When it comes to my underwear, I’m one to keep things simple and low-fuss—very much unlike the rest of my wardrobe. Sure, I have a couple of sexy sets saved for special occasions, but most days, I’m reaching for pieces that are easy and, most importantly, comfortable to wear all day long. That said, I’ve been filling my underwear drawer with nothing but silk as of late.
Here’s the thing: Out of the many materials our bras and underwear can be made from these days, silk is genuinely one of the greatest options. Not only does it have a luxurious feel, but it’s also breathable and boasts moisture-wicking abilities—a must for anything worn right up against the skin. Plus, even in the form of a basic brief or bralette, its silky sheen is undeniably alluring.
Ahead, I rounded up nine of the best silk-underwear brands out there at every price point and style. Keep scrolling to check them out, and shop their greatest hits while you’re at it.
1. Fleur du Mal
Strapless bras aren’t always as pretty as their strappy counterparts, but this silky wonder from Fleur du Mal is stunning.
As is the matching paneled underwear.
I'm buying this one in every color.
You don't need to be a bride to embrace white silk panties.
2. Uwila Warrior
Uwila Warrior is quite possible the comfiest underwear ever, and it comes in an impressive variety of colors. They’re made from a silk blend, so they offer plenty of stretch, too.
Perfect for lounging!
I love the yellow accent lace on this pair.
Don't worry, these silk panties come in neutrals too.
3. Kiki de Montparnasse
This balconette bra from French lingerie label Kiki de Montparnasse is appropriately named. It's iconic indeed.
The ruffled lace trim on this thong is everything.
If underwire bras aren’t your thing, this one’s for you.
Turn up the heat in this thong.
4. Intimissimi
The silk on this underwire style is a nice touch.
Don't these look so comfortable?
So luxurious.
You can’t go wrong with a simple silk thong.
5. I.D. Sarrieri
London-based lingerie house I.D. Sarrieri has a ton of silk-blend offerings, like this red chemise.
A comfy bra or going-out top? You decide.
I’ve never wanted a pair of underwear more.
They make the dreamiest robes too.
6. Coco de Mer
Another British lingerie label to know is Coco de Mer, the brand behind this absolute stunner of a bra.
The perfect combination of silk and lace.
I may usually reach for simpler pieces, but I need this.
And the playsuit, too.
7. Skims
For those who love Skims, the silk line is a must-shop
I don't know how these baby blue panties haven't sold out yet.
There's a matching ruffled panty, too, of course.
This slip is too good.
