9 Brands That Prove Gorgeous Lingerie Shouldn't Cost a Fortune

·2-min read

The saying “you get what you pay for” applies to so many things in fashion, but one thing we struggle to justify it for is lingerie. Never has so little fabric amounted to so many pound signs as it does when you peruse luxury lingerie. And seeing as it’s something we wear, quite literally, every single day, it’s not something we’re prepared to spend our entire salary on, which is why we’ve scoured the digital shopping sphere to bring you the best affordable lingerie brands we can find.

Emmanuelle Koffi wears a white lace lingerie set from Gooseberry Intimates.

While they’ll save you some pennies in the process, if there’s one thing these affordable lingerie brands don’t skimp on, it’s style. From comfortable jersey triangle bralettes and big briefs to lace-trimmed teddies and even sultry see-through shorts, from an array of big names to more niche, under-the-radar labels, scroll below to see the chicest, most affordable underwear brands to buy into this season.

    “Veg is the edge,”' beamed ex-Royal Marine commando and international man of mystery John – not his real name, of course – as I wound another weave of spiky grass and sodden moss into my sniper’s ghillie suit. “You’ll need it to crawl to the firing position undetected by the enemy.” I’d come to the Scottish Highlands on a top-secret James Bond-style mission, Operation Loch’n’Load. I hadn’t bargained on being knee-deep in bog dressed as Worzel Gummidge, firing high-velocity sniper rifles at targe

    Scarborough, I was told on childhood seaside holidays to the Yorkshire coast, is a “two coats place”, whereas Bridlington – 17 miles further south and in the lee of Flamborough Head – is “a one coat place”. While I may have slightly mis-remembered, this no-nonsense approach to a Yorkshire seaside holiday still holds true today. North Yorkshire’s coastal towns and villages may sport the odd hipster coffee shop and vegan chippy, but there is no Tate Gallery satellite or antiques quarter to draw vi

    Over the last five months, we’ve seen everything from fur-lined ski suits and cable knit sweaters to more-is-more wedding gowns make an appearance on the set of the forthcoming Ridley Scott film House Of Gucci. After seeing so many paparazzi images and snapshots from Lady Gaga’s Instagram, we had come to the conclusion that, by the time the trailer came out, we’d have seen everything there was to see fashion-wise from the movie, which won’t be out until November. And yet, by the grace of God Guc

What to do? The answer, firstly, is not to panic. For all the inconvenience, the prospect of a relaxing holiday has not evaporated on a breeze of technological ill fortune. Even if you

    I used to be the world’s best replier; I never left an iMessage or a WhatsApp on read. But after 18 months of the coronavirus pandemic, what I am calling ‘communication fatigue’ has set in and the text messages frequently stack up. My friends mean the world to me and I actually think the pandemic has brought us closer — but keeping all my friendships going via a phone has been hard, to say the least.

This is what appeared to strike Simone Biles, perhaps the greatest gymnast in history, at Tokyo’s Ariake Centre on Tuesday.
