In 2017, the famous Barbadian singer and the sexiest entrepreneur, Rihanna, launched her cosmetic brand, Fenty beauty which garnered huge success. So, it was no surprise when Rihanna announced that she would expand her Fenty empire to include a lingerie line called Savage x Fenty.

On 11th May 2018, Savage x Fenty was launched, and on 12th September 2018, Rihanna held a Savage x Fenty lingerie show during the New York Fashion Week. Their annual fashion show is a very sexy and empowering fashion lingerie experience that is not to be missed. Models of all shapes, colors, genders, and sizes were represented on the runway and in their ads. Their 2018 show even had pregnant models walking the runway.

This namesake brand prioritized diversity and provided inclusive sizing in their bras and underwear at reasonable pricing. From 32 to 46 in bands to A to H in the cup sizes range, Savage has nailed it all. Their floral lace bralette styles and embroidered lace wedding corset are stunning and glamorous and a definite must-have for your spicy time.

With its wide collection and full-size range, Savage x Fenty proves that it is not just a lingerie brand for the male gaze but for self gaze.

1.2) Victoria’s Secret:

Talking about the best lingerie brands, and Victoria’s Secret isn’t on the list? That’s impossible! Roy Ramond and Gaye Ramond launched the largest American lingerie, clothing, and beauty brand, Victoria’s Secret, around 45 years ago, i.e., on 12th June 1977. This lingerie brand soon became a one-stop shop for all women’s needs, and it completely changed the market and our view towards lingerie in general and bought sexier lingerie to the mainstream.

The Victoria’s Secret catalog became a cultural mainstay, and their annual fashion show that started in 1995 was a cultural touchstone. This gave a marketing edge to the company, and soon VS became a lingerie giant by achieving huge turnover sales and global status.

If you are looking for a bra for everyday wear but also cute, then Victoria’s Secret is your go-to! Apart from the cute and cheeky lingerie that Victoria’s Secret has to offer, VS in 2014 had entered into the wearable technology business by launching, Incredible. Incredible is a collection of sports bras that focuses not only on women’s comfort but also on women’s health by monitoring heart rate with built-in electrodes.

However, regarding inclusivity, Victoria’s Secret is still lagging far behind. We hope that, in the future, VS comes out with more bra sizes and diversity.

Fleur Du Mal a brand where luxury meets lingerie! Fleur Du Mal was founded by Victoria’s Secret veteran lingerie designer Jennifer Zuccarini in 2012. This lingerie brand changed the entire experience and bought luxury lingerie into the market.

The name Fleur Du Mal was inspired by Charles Baudelaire’s poem collection- Les Fleurs du mal, which means Flower of Evil. The idea of the brand name is that the delicateness and elegance of lingerie have an exasperating darker side. The ambition of this brand was to convey that lingerie is every women’s wardrobe essential and hence, should not be limited to a special occasion only.

This year, Fleur Du Mal celebrated its 10th Anniversary at the LA Fashion Week, and boy, did we tell you how mesmerizing it was! Elegant, embroidered, sophisticated, and sexy bras and panties were displayed under an erotic red and blue light atmosphere. The brand also announced its first exclusive line dedicated to trans women.

Talking about our recommendations for special occasion lingerie, the Fleur Du Mal Frankie Lace Boned Balconette Bra will make you look like an absolute luxe snack. Their Perfumed Lingerie Collection will make your partner go weak in their knees.

1.4) Hanky Panky:

Designer Gale Epstein made a bra and bikini briefs out of embroidered cotton handkerchiefs for her friend Lida Orzeck’s birthday. This became an inspiration, and soon, in 1977, the brand Hanky Panky was born.

Hanky Panky is known for its barely-there panties, crotchless teddies, and lace thongs. In 1986, the brand made its name in lingerie history by inventing thongs. The brand also has a registered trademark for ‘The World’s Most Comfortable Thong.’ Their Signature Lace Original Rise Thong, Daily Lace Low Rise Thong, Breathe G-String Thong, and Printed Thongs are must-haves.

Earlier, thongs were looked upon only as a sexy piece, but over time with increasing priority given to comfort and feel, thongs have now made it into the daily-wear underwear drawer. The brand claims that they have sold over 46.5 million units of underwear all over the globe, i.e. an average of one underwear every second. Are you convinced, or should I talk more about Hanky Panky’s Thong Collection?

Besides Hanky Panky’s stunning thong and underwear collection, their bras are no less. Hanky Panky recently launched Retro Bras that are available in half-cup sizes. If you want to pair this retro bra with a matching panty and make matching sets of your own, then we recommend you pair it with their best-seller, Retro Thong.

You might think it’s illogical to spend money on intimate items that will be intimate and not seen by anyone. Well, confidence comes from within! (Pun intended)

If you are uncomfortable in that bra that is digging wire into your skin, you will certainly look annoyed and underconfident in whatever you are wearing outside. So, spending on the best lingerie is important, not for anyone else but for you.

Always remember that sexy lingerie is not just limited to your valentine’s date night or for your special occasions. Lingerie is meant for you. Period.

So, don’t forget to prioritize your comfort and style over your visual appearance because a confident woman can pull off any lingerie that she is comfortable in!
