We only recommend products we love and that we think you will, too. We may receive a portion of sales from products purchased from this article, which was written by our Commerce team.
G-strings, corsets, and pasties... Oh my. Scantily-clad lingerie has a time and it has a place — and whether that’s every single day for you or once in a blue moon, I am 100% here for it. Nevertheless, sometimes in life you just want to look hot without being too revealing in the underwear department — and that’s perfectly fine, too.
And actually, it’s pretty easy to accomplish thanks to my most recent epic deep dive on Amazon. I stumbled upon the absolute cutest bras and underwear that are confidence-boosting yet modest and functional all at once.
Here you have it, friends: Underwear doesn't have to be skimpy to be hot — and these 34 pieces are all the proof you need.
1This High-Neck Lace Bralette With A Striking Strappy Back
Sure, it’s a little revealing (because the tummy is showing, and all) but the high neckline on this Nolabel bralette balances it out. The floral lace cleavage panel and intricate strappy back also add a sultriness to this thing that makes it totally cute for a night out. Style it under your plunging tops as a modesty bib like one shopper suggested in the reviews: “I like wearing this bralette with tops that might be a little lower cut [than] I’m comfortable with so it offers more feminine coverage,” they wrote. And it’ll match most of your tops, since it’s available in pretty much every color under the sun.

2A Seamless Push-Up Bra With Mesh Inserts
What can I say, really? WOWENY’s seamless bra is a winner. You’re going to be shocked by how soft this pullover style is courtesy of the modal, nylon, and spandex fabrication. Plus, there are no wires, hooks, or metal hardware anywhere in sight — meaning it’ll fit like second skin. Spot the mesh insets? Those add a little dose of seductive appeal, as does the sweetheart neckline. “This bra is so comfortable and I love the uplifting pads to perk up the ladies,” one shopper stated, adding that “It’s not restricting or too tight at all — but offers amazing support.”

3These High-Waisted Lace Briefs With A Corset Back
Avidlove’s lace underwear offers the best of both worlds. First, these precious panties have a super high-waisted design so you get the coverage you desire. But, the sheer floral lace leaves nothing to the imagination, if you catch my drift. Turn around — and there’s a stunning lace-up corset detail that’s adjustable to your frame. “Bought these for a photo shoot and they were perfect! The fit was great and the style,” one fan praised, and another noted they were “Not itchy because of the lacy material.”

4A Barely-There Racerback Bra You’ll Never Want To Take Off
Here’s some unsolicited advice: Buy True & Co’s True Body bra STAT. Check out the gorgeous lace T-strap back and tell me this isn’t both practical and pretty. It’s made from the silkiest microfiber fabric that feels like butter on the body and it suits all your racerback tops, along with disappearing under regular blouses. Need one more reason before pulling the trigger? No painful wires digging into your ribcage. “I don't understand how something SO soft can be this supportive. It also smooths out your back and makes the ‘girls’ looks great,” one shopper commented. Another raved that “I can barely tell I’m wearing it.”

5A Fleet Of Cheeky Hipsters With All The Lace
Available in nine different multipacks with plenty of colors, silhouettes, and lacy designs to choose from, KUKOME’s underwear is an absolute steal for $17. I featured this set because I love a cheeky cut, but there are more full-coverage options if that’s your speed. While the price tag is on the low side, don’t be convinced that the nylon-stretch material will be itchy on the skin or low-quality to the touch. You can wear these 24/7 without any issues like this customer pointed out: “These are the best undies I’ve bought off Amazon,” they swore. “They are stretchy enough and would fit well even if you have a huge tushy. They are also high quality, not at all the cheap pair I was expecting. They are so soft and comfortable to wear.”

6The Strappiest Longline Bralette
This MotoRun strappy sports bra is pretty fierce. Made with a sweat-wicking four-way stretch fabric that contours to the body, this head-turning option has cleavage straps attached to the deep V neckline as well as an eye-catching strappy back. There are also removable foam cups whether you want some extra oomph for evening or to play it natural in the daytime. Some reviewers mentioned that it won’t support a workout if you’re on the bustier side but that doesn’t stop them from wearing it often. “This is my new favorite bra,” one fan declared. “And it is so comfortable that I often forget I'm still wearing it. Unlike others that I have to rip off the second I get home. Must have!”

7These Ultra High-Waisted Cotton Briefs With A Touch Of Pretty Lace
Stretchy, soft, comfy — MISSWHO’s cotton underwear ain’t playin’ around, folks. The waistline sits above your belly button with a cotton-stretch construction that lets your body breathe with ease. ICYW: The gusset is made with 100% cotton, too, for guaranteed freshness *down there*. They’re even suitable for new mommies (especially if you had a c-section) as this one expalined here: “I really only wear thongs and had a hard time finding any underwear for postpartum but when I was induced 6 weeks early I ordered these from the hospital to have something to wear until I could find something else but I ended up loving them so much. They were comfortable and perfect after just giving birth and I loved that they’re high waisted.”

8This Cropped Lace Camisole That Layers Like A Dream
Don’t sleep on this BRABIC lace cami if you know what’s good for you. Not only does it make an ideal layering staple in your wardrobe — slip it underneath revealing blouses or oversized blazers, for instance — but it can also be worn on its own with high-waisted bottoms. Despite not having an underwire, you can rely on this camisole to keep you locked and loaded. Not to mention, the thin adjustable shoulder straps and lightly-lined soft cup pads will shape and lift. “I wore this to a concert and was nervous about the girls but they stayed secured,” one shopper confirmed.

9These Adorable Lace Boyshorts That Look Good On Everyone
There’s so much to love about these Barbra’s Lingerie lace boyshort panties, but their inclusive size range tops the list. While they might appear delicate to the eye, the silky nylon-spandex fabric is actually quite durable and won’t unravel or rip in the washing machine — gentle cycle preferred. Peek through the reviews and you’ll see raves all over the place like “ten stars if I could. Amazing quality, fits perfect” and “they don't roll down in the belly, they don't ride up.” Choose between two six-packs with different colorways for $26.

10A Sassy Scalloped Lace Bralette With Lots Of Coverage
Gorgeous gorgeous people wear SOLY HUX’s scalloped trim bralette. If I had to guess why, I’d say it’s because you will look 10/10 phenomenal — sans wires — like magic. Case in point: “I'm a DDD and it was able to hold my girls up without me wearing a bra underneath which was surprising since it has no underwire,” one shopper remarked. Click through the colorways and you’ll notice there are modest renditions (like this one) along with body-baring camisole styles.

11A Lace Bra & Panty Set That “Makes You Feel Like You Can Rule The World”
Truth be told, you’ll want to wear Avidlove’s lace bra and matching high-waisted panty set whether or not you’ve got a partner around. Here’s the lowdown on this $19 duo: The triangle bralette has a deep V neckline, sheer lace cups, adjustable double spaghetti straps, and a wider elastic band under the bust with a hook-and-eye closure around back. The bottoms, on the other hand, have an ultra-high waist, cheeky coverage, and a lace-up detail when you turn around. Even better: This fierce two-piece set runs up to 4X. “Looks amazing on and makes you feel like you can rule the world,” one shopper gushed.

12A Luxe Mesh Minimizer That Fits Like A Dream
How stunning is HSIA’s unlined minimizer bra? Sign. Me. Up. As someone with a larger chest, there are days I desire a little less protrusion, and this bra helps with that — without sacrificing “curve appeal” thanks to the mesh and lace cups. The adjustable straps were designed to relieve shoulder pain while the U-shaped back keeps the undergarment in place. You’re getting quite the deal for $27, in my humble opinion. “I was willing to spend $100 on a bra that fits perfectly," one shopper stated, adding that this wallet-friendly version "FITS PERFECT." Agreed!

13String Bikini Panties For A Happy Compromise Between Briefs & Thongs
Vanity Fair’s Illumination string bikini panties are everything. Let me explain: The nylon-spandex material feels luxurious as heck with a satin binding along the waist and legline. The gusset is lined with 100% cotton, which is ideal for breathability and just health in general. The peek-a-boo string side cutouts offer a flash of skin without going over the top. “I like these panties a lot, these are my favorite style. I am not a fan of thong panties by the same token,I am not a fan of grandma panties either! These are comfortable, cute and still sassy,” one shopper explained.

14A Wireless Lace Bra With Plenty Of Coverage
Bali’s “Desire” bra will make you feel just that: Desirable. Not only that, you’ll feel supported and comfortable all day in this baby. The adjustable straps convert from the classically straight shoulder positioning into a racerback with a simple J-hook that’s included with your purchase.“I stopped wearing underwire bras many years ago, and it’s always been difficult to find a bra that meets certain requirements - no wire, supportive, and doesn’t look like granny underwear. Well, this one fits the bill,” one shopper commented.

To top it all off, there’s a cute lace waistband that jazzes these up compared to other period panties on the market. "These are officially my go-to undies. The lace gives them a bit of sass, and the absorbent layers are great for light days or heavy discharge days throughout my cycle,” one shopper stated.

16An Impressive High-Impact Sports Bra That’s Actually Supportive

Plus, the smoothing sides and U-back help reduce the appearance of lines under clothes. “Ok, so let me start by saying I am a 42G. NASA has to build my bras,” one shopper joked. “I was looking for an all purpose everyday bra, this is it. This is more support than a sports bra but not as much as an underwire. Somewhere in the middle.” (A happy medium indeed.)

20This Mixed Media Bra Top That’s Seriously Sophisticated
The fact that DOBREVA’s lace bralette crop top only costs $24 bucks is pretty jaw-dropping. Not only does it look like something an elegant French lingerie brand might sell, but its craftsmanship is also top of the line. The lightly-lined underwire cups have side boning that shapes and supports, and even has some foam in there for a subtle push-up effect. “I HATE the way most lace bras feel, but this one is cute and comfy, and nice without being too bare. I'm a little bit curvy and this stays put without bunching/pinching too,” one customer happily stated.

Then, the ballet-style back and wide adjustable satin elastic straps offer peak comfort. “I usually get the Playtex 18 hour bra in a size 40G. This was my first time in years trying something different so I can wear different style tops without a bra showing. I ordered my ‘usual’ size, 40G. I tried this on and I AM IN LOVE,” one shopper revealed.

On top of that, the double-lined mesh band subtly smooths, with built-in side panels and thick adjustable straps that help lift and shape. “Beautifully made and fits like a glove. I'm a larger chested girl who was looking for a light bra option with little to no padding without losing too much in the support area. This met all my needs and surpassed my expectations. Knowing it's cute as well has given me a little confidence boost too,” one customer commented.

You can’t go wrong with any of Calvin Klein’s loungewear pieces, and the modern cotton bralette is no different. The cotton, modal, and elastane construction is soft and flexible enough for a day-long couch session (I may or may not have watched a marathon of Love Island UK wearing mine this past weekend) or simply running errands. The pullover style has a scoop neckline and is wrapped with the brand’s instantly-identifiable logo band. One customer commented that “this bralette is one of the most comfortable things I have tried on” — and, I can attest, that’s not hyperbole.

31Strappy No-Show Panties With Plenty Of Visual Interest
These BeReady high-cut hipsters aren’t your average seamless panties. While they do have a similar raw-cut edge that provides a no-show finish, they feature two thick straps on the side that give a stylish vibe. My favorite part? You can hike the top strap up around your waist and leave the bottom one lower for an hourglass effect. “With a larger behind, it's hard to find underwear that fit, don't cut into my sides or give me muffin top," one shopper explained. "These fit good, stretch with your body and are super cute too. I'll be buying more for sure."

32The Strapless Bustier You Could Even Wear As A Top
PARFAIT’s Elissa bra is one of those undergarments you didn’t even know you needed until now. Available in four colorways — black, white, and two tones of beige — the figure-enhancing bustier style will certainly come in handy for special occasions, and the impressive hook-and-eye closure allows for a custom fit. Alternatively, it's a lifesaver if you're wearing a strapless dress or even a one-shouldered neckline on a night out, too. There’s even silicone inside the cups to keep everything where it should be all evening. “I love that it supports me EVERYWHERE. Other places, even lane Bryant, have those narrow bands that I feel won't cover and support where I really need it. But this... OMG! It just arrived today and I couldn't resist putting it on immediately. It fits so well,” one shopper gushed.

34This High-Neck Lace Bralette With A Keyhole Front
All right, I had to finish this article with JENNY JEN’s Miley halter lace bralette. First off, because it’s pretty — like, really pretty. Second, it’s also comfortable: the lace is soft, and both the neckline and band are fully adjustable. The racerback style won’t slip off narrow shoulders, and it adds modesty under tops without totally covering you up. “It’s my favorite thing! I’m going to live in this,” one shopper gushed, noting that it was “comfortable” and “looks amazing under other tops.”
