The best online lingerie shops, chosen by a fashion writer

From lace bras to cotton sets, these are the best underwear brands to buy from - (Skims/Dora Larsen)

From frilly and lace sets, to practical and comfortable underwear, lingerie is a universal wardrobe essential – it is, after all, your first layer each day. Whatever your relationship status, there is something undeniably indulgent about a brand-new set, whether you’re buying it as a treat to yourself or as a present for a partner. Thankfully, the best lingerie brands cater for everyone.

From wired to non-wired, cupped to mesh or cotton, the best set for you is entirely down to personal preference. Some prefer skimpy silhouettes, while others look to elasticated waistbands and generous brief styles that still offer some support. Classic red pieces are perfect for special occasions, while black, beige and white lend to everyday wear.
