18 Pairs Of Comfy Women’s Underwear We Actually Want To Wear

Valentine’s Day might be around the corner, and with it comes the flirty temptation to buy sexy lingerie, but there will always be a place in our drawers for the comfy stuff. From RIXO‘s first foray into undies to a new London brand making white briefs cool again, scroll to shop our edit of comfy women’s underwear pieces.
One brand inspired this piece: Cou Cou Intimates. Founded during the pandemic in London by Rose Colcord, the brand makes pieces that demonstrate that good lingerie and everyday lingerie needn’t be mutually exclusive.
Think cotton pointelle pants that give just the right coverage but still make you feel cute, boxer short styles that double up as PJs on warm nights, and a simple colour palette of black, white and a vintage-inspired English rose print. The whole look is somewhere between Scarlett Johansson in Lost In Translation and nonchalant, French girl chic.
Cou Cou Intimates make pieces that prove the good lingerie and the everyday lingerie needn’t be mutually exclusive.
Plus, all their underwear is made from 100% GOTS Certified Organic Cotton, which means it is compostable and a cute but conscious approach to your foundation layers.
Similarly, Stripe & Stare have long taken up residence in our underwear drawer, not only thanks to their cute prints and ridiculously comfortable pants but also their dedication to sustainability. They are really leading the change with their 95% biodegradable pieces. Sourced from beechwood trees, this eco-friendly material uses 95% less water than cotton to produce and also makes it super soft on the skin. If that wasn’t enough, they have just launched a collaboration with the fashion girl’s go-to brand, RIXO, with a limited-edition collection of playful prints. From leopard print to red roses and more, these are all we will be wearing underwear-wise for the foreseeable.
