Taylor Hill wearing a Victoria’s Secret bralette
There’s more to lingerie than cotton basics and frilly underpinnings. Stay a step ahead and make room for the lace lingerie trend that’s missing from your top drawer. Lingerie brands are shifting from thick, padded bras to delicate, soft-cup silhouettes that feature classic lace. Instead of faking what you don’t have, give that push-up bra a rest and opt for foam-free iterations that make for a romantic night in or a chic outfit addition. From flirty bralettes and halterneck renditions to sheer styles, this sexy lace lingerie guide will make you feel sensual, confident, and empowered, underneath it all.
BARELY-THERE BRALETTES
Bralettes are on the rise. Popular among celebrities such as Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, and Rihanna, the bralette is an add-on that demands attention. Meanwhile, Victoria’s Secret has rolled out its first line of non-padded bralettes with styles that combine a crop top and a bra.
