Underwear

Highly personal, but mid-rise hipsters or briefs in cotton or modal are popular for all-day comfort. Seamless styles work best under fitted clothing. The key is finding something that doesn't dig in, ride up, or bunch. Our size guides per brand help get this right first time.

Every 6-12 months depending on wear frequency. Signs: stretched elastic, faded colour, thinning fabric, loss of shape. Having 15-20 pairs in rotation ensures none are overworked. This is one category where new rather than preloved makes sense.

Seamless, bonded-edge underwear in a nude matching your skin tone. Thongs eliminate visible lines entirely. Laser-cut edges lie flat. Avoid lace edges, thick seams, or decorative details under figure-hugging garments, they show through more than you'd expect.
