Here are 14 lingerie brands that make the underthings of our dreams.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and the cardinal rule of giving “sexy” gifts is know thy partner. Some of our beloved boos would love nothing more than to open a tissue-filled box and find a scarlet pair of crotchless panties, while others would drop dead of mortification (then dump you once resuscitated).

Fancy underwear is one of those things that everyone loves to have, but it can be truly tricky to find in its best form to suit individual tastes. You’re here because you want to try, whether this is a V-Day self-love gift or a way of saying “I love to see you in minimal clothing” to your partner in crime. And blessedly, the range of cool lingerie is far and wide for sizing, vibes, and degrees of naughtiness.

A couple of rules of thumb for buying lingerie for someone else:

  • Don’t try to “convert” a chill, comfy underwear-wearer into a lace-and-strap vixen by giving them what you think they’d look good in; this move is awkward at best, rude and dysphoria-inducing at worst. Instead, just shop for undies that would fit in with the rest of your partner’s underwear drawer, but are made with high-end materials and construction.
  • If you’re buying a bra as a gift, don’t try to blind-guess your partner’s bra size. You’re either going to have to ask them, or sneak a peek at their tag next time their underthings are littering the bedroom floor. If that’s not a possibility due to the element of surprise or just a lack of access, try going for a bralette, which will have more forgiving shapes and often come in traditional XS/S/M/L/XL sizing, which is easier to estimate. 
  • Don’t forget that feeling comfortable is pretty necessary for feeling sexy. A too-small G-string is not going to have your boo feeling their best.

That being said, there’s more amazing underwear out there than ever before. These are the best lingerie brands to shop online, from cult-faves and cozy sets to the fancy and frisky.

The Best Lowkey-Sexy Lingerie

CUUP

When it comes to direct-to-consumer brands that are taking basics to the next level, CUUP is a top contender. With its luxe fabrics (mesh, modal), modern shades, flattering shapes, and pretty great size range (up to H cup), the brand’s lingerie deserves to be seen. Rec Room contributor Angel Kilmister loves the sheer Balconette bra and super-soft modal Highwaist undies in particular.

Else Lingerie

If you’re looking for a balance of classy and coquettish, Else‘s ethereal lingerie hits all the right notes, with its motto of “comfort and style in every situation.” Handmade in Istanbul using sustainable lace made from regenerated yarn using solar energy, its fabrics are sheer and detailed without too many bells and whistles, frills, or scratchy bits. Please buy us this sexy plunge bra, thanks!

Cosabella

Cosabella is a bit of an OG when it comes to affordable lingerie, and the brand’s thongs were considered *the ultimate* in the early 00s. But Cosabella has continued to modernize its line in recent years, including by adding a best-in-class selection of bralettes for the DD+ crowd via its Curvy and Ultra Curvy lines. And, its thongs still rule. After all, Y2K is back, baby!

Pepper

Pepper specializes in lingerie specifically for the AA–B cup crowd, because all tatas deserve high-quality outfitting, regardless of their size. Some of the brand’s bras lift and enhance, some contour, some offer super-light support, and all flatter.

The Best Racy, Spicy Lingerie

Agent Provocateur

British lingerie house Agent Provocateur is known as “the world’s most erotic lingerie,” and it does not shy away from big-time statements in its designs or its marketing. Known for its high quality and cheeky pieces, it’s where you should go if you’re in search of lace, hearts, ruffles, cutouts, and all of that good stuff.

Gooseberry Intimates

These ultra-racy undies from Gooseberry Intimates are built for showing off in the bedroom rather than wearing under a T-shirt to your ceramics class—although, of course, that’s always an option.

For Love & Lemons

We love this brand because its unique, detail-oriented styles really cover all of your personalities—from ditzy schoolgirl, to sexy madame, you can be anyone you want, as long as they’re confident and sexy.

Fleur Du Mal

Ooooh boy, is Fleur Du Mal‘s fancy, fabulous lingerie worth lusting over. It’s certainly on the pricier side, but it’s essentially couture. From the cute to the kinky, the brand’s site is a wonderland of luxe bras, underwear, loungewear, and more—and the unisex washable silk boxers make the perfect gift that you and your partner can steal back and forth from each other.

Adore Me

Looking for teddies, bodysuits, and other slinky little numbers? Adore Me is your spot, and you can slip into something more comfortable for less than $20 if you join the site as a “VIP.” (Velvet rope and bottle of Champagne not included.) With a solid five-star rating on nearly every piece, happy VIPs describe Adore Me’s lingerie as “comfortable,” “enticing,” and “sweet and a little naughty.”

The Best Chill, Comfy Lingerie

NK Imode

Canadian sleepwear label NK Imode makes nightgowns and loungewear that are as lovely for donning when you’re feeling yourself as they are for bringing on your honeymoon. If you need any further testimonials, Adele recently wore the brand’s pajamas in a Vogue shoot. So yeah, nice stuff—and a superb gift for someone who loves to hang in bed and is due to ditch that holey pair of sweats.

Lunya

Lunya‘s ready to get you “in the mood… for bedtime.” In other words, the brand’s high-end sleepwear is for keeping the vibe going when it’s time to knock out, after you’ve already knocked boots. We’re huge fans of the brand’s washable silk weighted sleep mask, but another bestseller is this washable silk sleep set, which is also available for dudes.

Skims

Yes, Kim Kardashian is the face—and mastermind—of this loungewear and underwear brand, but honestly, Skims is good shit, and there’s a reason several of its products have gone ultra-viral (as did its recent Valentine’s Day campaign with Lana Del rey). The fabrics are indisputably sexy, the size range is known for fitting pretty much everybody, and there are constantly new drops with styles you won’t find anywhere else.

Parade

If you’re Insta mutuals with any micro-influencers, you’re probably well-acquainted with Parade, the colorful, casual undies brand that’s sort of taken over the internet (and the butts of your friends and their thirst traps). If you’re looking for ultra-comfy thongs and briefs or soft, loungy bras, Parade has both in droves—and in a huge variety of colors and patterns, including collaborations with brands like Ganni and Betsey Johnson. What other underwear brands offer Smarties-themed underwear?

Knickey

With its wide size range (XXS to XXXL) and simple, flattering cuts, Knickey is like if Hanes or Fruit of the Loom and Skims had a baby. We love the high-leg, high-waisted briefs and no-frills bralettes, which are wire-free, made with organic cotton, and, with their simple pullover style, gender-neutral.

There you have it; 14 lingerie brands for everybody and every body, for hot nights and Hulu binge-watching, for tiny-tata’d babes and big-booty Brendas, for the tarty and the tomboyish. Shop on, and have a sexy, silky Valentine’s Day—or a cozy, cotton one.

Still covering your penis in dreary, snooze-worthy jawns? Sad. It’s 2023, and male underwear brands have stepped up their game to coddle your Crown Jewels in luxurious pieces that will make you look like you read tons of Proust and are really good at sex. Consider these undies from American luxury brand 2(X)IST, which will make you look like you’re fresh out of a Luca Guadagnino movie:

Screen Shot 2023-10-18 at 1.53.11 PM.png

Just in time for cuffing season, 2(X)IST (pronounced “to exist”) is holding a 15% off sale to help you outfit your nethers in velour jock straps, psychedelic silk drawers, and more next-level intimates. Just apply the code 2XFIFTEEN at checkout to cop discounts on everything from undershirts and tanks to the brand’s newest arrivals, which includes [drum roll] the Modal French Brief and the Sliq Silkie:

According to 2(X)IST, the Silkie is the brand’s contemporary homage to the Ranger Panties of the 1970s. It combines the classic, utilitarian design of those teeny-tiny, military-issue drawers with eclectic patterns, such as the Y2K-nostalgic Infared Camo, and the Sunset Stripe, which looks like it belongs on Robert Redford’s rump in his The Electric Horseman era. Plus, as the brand explains, “[It’s] made with a blend of polyester and Spandex, [which] offers a silk-like touch” but is far less fussy to care for than silk garments.

The Modal French Brief is another no-brainer if you’re trying to build a fresh capsule wardrobe for fall that goes beyond a new set of scarves and a jean jacket. As 2(X)IST says, “The French Brief is an embodiment of provocative elegance” thanks to its high cut and striking silhouette. Meanwhile, the eco-friendly ​Modal material packs the same buttery feel as silk but with even more breathability, according to the brand.

This is just the tip of intimates iceberg when it comes to 2(X)IST, and we will be flocking to the site during the sale for the above drops, while also  camping out to cop their tartan-inspired holiday collections (and these wool sleep sets that look like they belong to Father Time himself.)We could go on, but we know that you have places to be, people to hump, and underwear sets to coordinate.

Here’s to treating that sweet peach to something elegant this fall.

Purchase all of 2(X)IST’s underwear here.

The last time I was at Coachella, Leonard Cohen was headlining, Devendra Banhart still had a beard, and Morrissey started complaining on stage about the aroma of the BBQ stations. I believe his exact line was, “I can smell flesh burning, and I hope to god it’s human.” It was a magical, but weird time.

A lot has changed in festival culture since then, for better and for worse, but the emphasis on what everyone wears (hopefully, no more appropriative headdresses) to Coachella, Bonnaroo, and other warm weather festivals has skyrocketed to competitive heights, prompting us to take stock of our own concert-ready jawn, and begging the question: Do we really want to keep wearing that withered, sad sports bra to the Governor’s Ball as the temps rise? Hard no, king.

This year, we’re getting smarter and more versatile. We’re going to be honest with ourselves about what always happens at overheated festivals (layers = off; bras = out), and cop lingerie that can easily double as festival gear, because we deserve to look (and feel) cool while dazzling all the finance bros in the DoLaB as we steal their wallets.

Where can one find such magical, all-purpose lingerie? Meet the intimates brand TITOV, and its new festival-ready lingerie collection, which has conveniently dropped in tandem with our tax return, and was designed specifically for hot people—whether they’re at a concert, or in the Red Lodge.

Screen Shot 2023-03-29 at 1.29.36 PM.png

TITOV’s Festival Collection calls itself “a tease of the summer,” because it’s filled with a size-inclusive range (it offers three times more sizes [33+] than other lingerie brands) of hybrid lingerie-festival wear that would look great beside the shimmer of a White Claw can, or emerging from the smoke cloud of a spliff; we could easily picture ourselves wearing one of the collection’s mesh and fishnet bodysuits or chartreuse bras at the Outside Lands festival, or the inside lands of our bedroom.

There’s a latex set [Julia Fox has entered the chat] that would look great under a denim jacket or paired with some yeehawsexual boots.

… And for those who consider themselves romantics and/or haters of tight clothing (same), we suggest the collection’s fishnet babydoll dress, which is the perfect non-cover cover-up for those 90-degree Fahrenheit festivals.

The icing on the spacecake? VICE readers can get 20% off the lingerie with the code VICE20 at checkout for a limited time. Now you just have to get your stash containers and MacGyvered flasks sorted, and you’re ready to ride.

Purchase the Festival Collection at TITOV.

I’d like to call to order a meeting of the big ‘ol titty committee [slams gavel]. Welcome, all my large-chested friends, to the official roll-call of the absolute best over-the-shoulder-boulder-holders for keeping our hefty twins supported, lifted, cradled, and respected. We share your pain of endlessly searching for the bra that will change our lives, and the trauma of being forcibly measured in the middle of a Victoria’s Secret in the mall where we were told we were a 34B when we were, in fact, a D cup… in eighth grade. This one’s for the DD+ crowd and above—we’re among you, and we’ve felt your neck strain, awkwardness, and frustration at finding cute lingerie.

There are so many shitty bras out there—forcing us to sit in meetings, dinners, on the bus—pretending like we’re not being stabbed by underwire, pinched by clasps, or that both straps haven’t completely fallen off. We also don’t want to sacrifice looking hot for feeling supported, so we’ve compiled an *official* list of the best bras for big boobs that not only make us feel confident and supported, but also don’t look miserable and matronly. Straight from our busty editors, these are our tried-and-loved bras that allow us to run downstairs without clutching our bosoms and slightly alleviate the burden of carrying around an epic rack all day.

The best everyday bras for large cup sizes

Chantelle’s Révèle Moi and Parisian Allure bras

Chantelle is the GOAT of big-boob bra companies. This high-end French brand was founded in 1876 by François Auguste Gamichon, and it basically invented the modern stretch knit mesh that comprises the best larger-cup-size bras—created using the principles of tulle corsetry. All of the brand’s bras are comfortable, supportive, and durable (yet somehow not matronly or fugly)—this is truly a feat! When it comes to everyday styles, the Révèle Moi is a super-popular choice for good reason—it supports, shapes, and lifts sizes up to an H cup, is smooth under T-shirts, sweaters, and tanks, and creates the perfect rounded teardrop shape. The straps are strong, but not too wide. Plus, it’s pretty.

Another excellent choice is the Parisian Allure style, a similar shape that’s super supportive and slightly minimizing, but moonlights as sexy with its peekaboo sheer trim. It has no added padding and easily converts to racerback.

CUUP’s Balconette bra

Modern undies company CUUP picks a lingerie lane and sticks to what it does best: offering an array of modern, neutral colors and smooth, simple silhouettes. Think of this as the “Always Pan of bras”—why have a million different options when you could have a few that really get the job done? The brand understands that different boob shapes have different needs—its signature bras are the Plunge, the Scoop, the Demi, and, our favorite for the DD+ crowd, the Balconette. The Balconette is especially great for larger chests thanks to its supportive construction, slightly minimizing design, and flattering aesthetic. The back doesn’t ride up, and the seams lie flat under clothes. The leopard print mesh is perfect for peeking out from beneath a button-up or under a slightly see-through top, and the seasonal colors never disappoint. The brand also makes lovely, ultra-comfortable matching modal undies.

Gossard Glossies bras

So, NGL—this is a kind of retro-sexy, shiny, see-through bra manufactured by a legacy brand (Gossard) that weirdly just rocks. It’s an amazing T-shirt bra that’s been around since literally the 70s. Our editorial director (a G cup) loves her Glossies bra, and “remembers reading about this bra in teen magazines in like, 1998.” “I finally thought I’d give this brand a shot a few years ago, since I saw that they have a very wide range of sizes, and now I’m a devotee,” she says. As an added bonus, Glossies come in a rainbow of colors and prints, have NO visible seams through your clothes, offer a perky lift, and “create the perfect balance of separation and cleavage.” Just make sure to use the conversion chart to get the correct size, since they are offered in UK sizing.

Third Love’s Second Skin bra

When our [32F] staff writer put on the 24/7 Second Skin Bra for the first time, her thought was it rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again, but she also thought, wow, this fabric is comfortable. “The last time I purchased a bra made of shiny, stretchy material with an underwire was definitely in high school [flashbacks of jagged underwire stabbing me in the boob during gym],” she explained, “but Third Love’s nylon-spandex blend is so soft and smooth, it kind of hugs your breasts while keeping them in place—nobody’s falling out of line.” The straps and band are quite sturdy without being geriatric, and it’s now our writer’s favorite everyday bra that you can wear under any fabric, regardless of how clingy a shirt might be.

The best sexy bras for big boobs

Chantelle’s Fleurs bra

Once again, Chantelle comes in hot with its lace wonder The Fleur, perhaps the most genuinely flirty, delicate bra you can find for a G+ cup. It’s elegant in showing just the right amount of skin, offers lift with its lovely stretch-lace, and doesn’t ride up. This is truly an objet of lingerie—not just a black bra.

Freya’s Fancies bra

British company Freya focuses on the big girlies, starting at a D cup and making its chic, feminine styles in up to a K cup. This brand understands that just because you have giant tatas doesn’t mean you want a lingerie drawer full of ugly sad holsters; you’ll find lots of colorful, sexy options, from playful (including the top-rated, polka-dot Starlight bra) to vampy. The “Fancies” line might be Freya’s most popular offering, with lifting lace, a keyhole, and a cross-strap back.

Natori’s contouring “full-fit” bras

Our staff writer rides hard for Natori, explaining, “I have a close friend in the biz, but not showbiz—that’s not relevant here. I’m talking about the lingerie biz—and as a fellow longtime member of the big boobie crew, she has always recommended Natori.” If you’re busty but still like to show a little cleavage, it can be hard to find a bra that strikes the balance between being supportive and sexy without giving away nip for free (in this economy?!). Natori specializes in making busty look classy, with an entire line of supportive but hot “full fit” bras for larger busts so the girls aren’t spilling out.

Panache’s Envy bra

When it comes to DD+ bras, Panache’s The Envy is one of the all-time greats. So stretchy, so supportive, so comfy, and so not-itchy, it’s the perfect lace balconette bra for big busts. It will make your tits look so great that they might be a bit distracting. It’s not minimizing. The girls will be lifted and pert. But that’s a good thing, right? The bra genuinely molds to your shape with wear, and is very forgiving of weight gain, hormones, etc. The reviews are insanely good, both online and from our G-cup editor who says, “I’ve owned several of these bras and they’re incredible—probably the comfiest lace bra I’ve ever had the pleasure of wearing.”

The best bralettes for big boobs

Cosabella’s Never Say Never Bralette and Soft Cotton Curvy Bralette

Props to Cosabella for recognizing that even if your boobs weigh, like, 10 pounds you don’t necessarily want underwires all the time. We need bralettes, too. The brand—which originally blew up in the 2000s for its ultra-comfortable thongs—now makes a wide, thoughtful line of DD+ bras (including “Curvy,” “Super Curvy,” “Ultra Curvy,” and Extended lines for a variety of band sizes). The “Never Say Never” is the signature, super-popular star of that show. With a five-star rating from 1,600 reviews, it works hard for its reputation, offering the ultimate in lounge-soft comfort with I-can-jog-to-catch-the-train support. You can sleep in it, but you could easily do pilates in it. Truly an everyday bralette for the well-endowed.

However, our editorial director’s personal fave is the Soft Cotton Curvy Bralette. “I LOVE that it’s all (super-soft) cotton,” she says. “It’s surprisingly supportive, but has a ton of stretch. You can even wash it in the regular washing machine, sans bag if you dare.”

Gap Body’s bralettes

Our staff writer insists that you shouldn’t knock Gap Body’s bralette offerings until you’ve tried them. “I’m gonna be as bold as to say that Gap Body is probably the most underrated spot for super-affordable, comfortable basics on the web (and they’re almost always having some sort of sale),” she says. “They make the absolute best bralettes for lounging around or running errands when you really don’t want to be wearing a bra, but still need a bit of coverage and support.” All of the seamless styles are great for feeling held in—but not constricted. Without any clasps or tags, there’s nothing to itch or claw or dig. “Since I am pretty narrow around the rib cage, I tend to opt for size large, as the material is quite stretchy and forgiving,” she adds, but if you have a wider band size (38 and up) it might be wise to size up.

Hanes’ Wireless Pullover Stretch-Knit Bra

This is the absolute best DD+-friendly bralette you’re going to find for under $15—we can guarantee that. Our editorial director owns two of these and says, “I wear these bras almost every day when working from home, but they are absolutely supportive enough to wear running errands, or even under a thin T-shirt—that’s how much I trust them! They’re so comfortable you can easily sleep in them too, without feeling like they’re compressing your chest.” Hanes really delivers with this ultra-soft and smoothing bra that’s got more stretch than Stretch Armstrong, and which has scored four out of five stars from nearly 30,000 reviews on Amazon.

The best sports bras for big boobs

Nike’s Swoosh bra

For medium support for up to a G cup, try Nike’s platonic ideal of a sports bra, the classic Swoosh bra, which is great for yoga, training, classes—basically everything aside from running. “This bra is always the first one I put on after the wash. It’s unfussy, with no miscellaneous straps to get tangled in, and I know my girls will be held in place without feeling like they’re up around my shoulders,” our staff writer says.

Lululemon’s Energy Bra

Speaking of straps… Luluelmon’s Energy Longline Bra takes it absolutely as far as anyone should in terms of how many straps should criss-cross someone’s back. Absolutely any more, and you’re just asking to end up on a hidden camera show getting stuck on a weight machine by your sports bra. Maybe that’s just our staff writer’s irrational fear, but she loves that the Energy bra perfectly combines support and style. The longer style provides the right amount of coverage when you don’t want the goodies to feel “on display.” There’s also a high support version, which is specifically designed for running and has sizing up to a DDD cup.

Knix’s Catalyst Bra

For heavy-duty support (like, literally jumping on a trampoline), our size G editorial director has yet to find anything that beats Knix’s zip-front Catalyst bra. “At first, I thought the front zipper would be annoying, but it absolutely straps your boobs into place,” she says. The smooth, sweat-wicking material moves with you and doesn’t feel constricting, but you won’t worry about hitting the treadmill even when the gym is super crowded. Plus, it’s cute and flatters the shoulders.

Brooks Dare Scoopback Sports Bra

Another super-supportive option, Brooks’ Dare bra has a classic sports-bra shape but is designed for high-impact athletic performance and is even tested at University of Portsmouth’s Institute for Breast Health. That’s right—it’s boob-scientist-approved! It has adjustable straps and a low-sitting band that keeps your center of gravity in place for great posture and balance while running—whether it’s a marathon or just through the airport to catch your flight.

Take the weight off your chest—life’s too short!

Look, getting kinky has never been more possible for lazy, horny people.You don’t even have to erect a full-blown raunchy jungle gym in your basement anymore (although we highly recommend it) to get into BDSM; there are throngs of no-drill, over the door sex swings, silky ties, and under-the-mattress bed restraints for whatever level of “make me earn it, Mommy” you’re looking for. That includes bondage.

We’re always on the lookout for bondage brands that run the gamut of gear options, from unbridled n00b to lube-seasoned Jezebel, and Lolli Wraps is one such godsend.

Shibari or kibaku is the Japanese erotic practice of getting erotically tied up.

We’re non-denominational about our sexy underwear. Meaning: we believe in the sex appeal of Nicole Kidman in Eyes Wide Shut, chewing out Tom Cruise in her tiny tank and cotton granny panties, just as much as we dig Barbarella-style bras that undergird our tatas. There’s room for everyone in the armoire, and right now we’re edging ourselves with the latest V-Day lingerie drop from Adore Me.

If you’re new to Adore Me, the New York-based brand is basically really good at designing affordable, fancy lingerie in a more inclusive size range than most sexy brands (sizes range from XS to 4X) in a way that feels non-boring and horny; its marble-dipped collection reminds us of London’s swinging 60s Biba boutique, and its winter holiday line turned our boobs into literal unwrappable presents. Of course we expected its designers to go hard for Valentine’s Day.

The early V-Day drop is a symphony of crotchless panties, black underbust corsets, and lace catsuits that we’d knife fight Lana Del Rey for. Most items also cost under $50, which means you can get a pirate’s hoard of Brazilian panties and bustiers, should you choose, for yourself, your crew, or even your landlord. Who knows? Anything is possible when the cherubs take to the skies this season.

Here’s an idea: give the missus a pearl thong and a crawfish bouquet by the seaside of your choosing, or blast some Phantom of the Opera, and leave this romantic corset on her bed with a cryptic note (just not in your handwriting; don’t risk the ick). Sometimes, if you don’t know what to do on V-Day, you can just let the lingerie lead the way.

Think of Valentine’s Day as your annual push notification to treat yourself, or your hunny bun, to something that tickles your [redacted]. V-Day lingerie is like MCM furniture, Barry Manilow, or a really good steakhouse—it’s the GOAT, and will never truly go out of style.

Here’s to the many corsets you have to lace-up (and untie) in this lifetime, jabroni.

The Best Present to Unwrap This Christmas Is a Nice Pair of Tatas https://www.vice.com/en/article/adore-me-holiday-lingerie/ Tue, 13 Dec 2022 20:39:16 +0000 https://www.vice.com/?p=47188 Tap into the enduring sex appeal of kitsch holiday lingerie with Adore Me's festive crotchless panties and bowtie bras.

What is it about Christmas that makes people want to smash? From Mistletoe’s Pagan roots as the semen of the gods to the trailblazing bimbo anthem “Santa Baby,” there’s just something about all that glossy wrapping paper, roast ham, and St. Nick—the ultimate cuffing season big boi—sliding down your chimney that makes it extra fun to get kinky during the holidays. So when the lingerie brand Adore Me dropped its new line of holiday intimates, we put down the eggnog and picked up our Amex.

There’s a lot to love about Adore Me’s festive intimates, from the plus size-inclusive product range (0X to 4X) to the accessible price points. No shade to La Perla, but we’d sooner get a lump of coal in our [redacted] than burn our bills on a thong when Adore Me’s jingle bell jawn is just as sexy, and up to 40% off.

Why not wrap yourself up in one of these silky sets, and assume the present position under the tree until your unsuspecting lover comes home?

Also on the naughty list: Crotchless panties, faux fur-lined intimates, and a bodysuit that pays homage to the “Jingle Bell Rock” Mean Girls scene that forever altered the atoms of the Year of our Lord 2004.

We’re out for all the serotonin we can get during the winter. Adore Me’s holiday drop understands this, and didn’t skimp on bows, frills, and all the best trappings for “Pull my sleigh, Rudolph” roleplay and other sexcapades.

There’s a reason (daddy issues!!) people make sex toys shaped like snowmen, or like to slip into something a little more festive than usual to Jack their Frost. A Santa-themed thong isn’t for everyone, but it is for people who 1) want to have fun, 2) want to have orgasms, and 3) aren’t afraid of dunking their cookies in some whole milk. Sexy kitsch holiday lingerie gives us the permission to lean into our kinkier alter ego, and can give our creative, horny juices the extra dose of encouragement that they need to try something new, all thanks to a Catholic holiday about frankincense and a guy with a man bun.

Happy holidays. Here’s wishing you a (not so) silent night.

Adore Me’s latest holiday lingerie collection can be purchased here.

Bondage Is the Best Last-Minute Halloween Costume for Hot, Lazy People https://www.vice.com/en/article/kisskill-bondage-halloween/ Mon, 24 Oct 2022 18:03:48 +0000 https://www.vice.com/?p=44279 Everyone else can be "cats" and "Pete Davidson," and you can be an unmerciful master who will step on their face, thanks to Kisskill.

Have you been spooky enough this month? Have you worn fake blood to the bar, or perched on your lover’s bedpost like a gargoyle? If the answer to any of these questions is “no,” it’s time to seriously juice up your gourd and go hard during the time that matters most this October: Halloween week. The time is nigh to bird-call your crew and assemble your costume so that you can pull up to the basement rave without looking like a total rube.

There’s just one problem: Hot people don’t always have time to find an easy, last-minute costume. Y’all are busy, and we understand; season two of Swamp Loggers isn’t going to rewatch itself. Still, you don’t want to be that person who shows up with a costume that feels like an afterthought; nor do you need to blow your fun money on a costume that you won’t get any non-spooky season wear out of (Spirit Halloween, we leave your drippy 2022 merch out of this). We’ve bought, and abandoned, too many rayon cloaks for one lifetime. You need something easy, hot, and versatile. You need bondage lingerie, and Kisskill just dropped a new collection in time to give your Halloween costume some umph.

Next to Speedos with cargo pockets, this has to be our favorite sartorial hack yet. All you have to do is take any basic-ass costume that you have on-hand, from cat ears to devil horns, and pair it with one of Kisskill’s full body harnesses. A traditional astronaut costume is fine, but an astronaut costume with a garter belt? One giant leap for mankind. Just ask yourself, WWJFD? (What would Julia Fox do?), and order a BDSM-inspired G-string under a latex trench coat; layer it over some jeans with cowboy boots for a yeehawsexual look, or pair a body harness with a turkey costume for a look that says, “baste me.”

The Australian lingerie brand has called the collection “The Addict,” because our little goblin fingers are addicted to smashing that order button on everything in it, from shibari ropes to sheer bodysuits. The pieces from this collection can become spicy wardrobe staples that transcend spooky season, whether you’re pairing an oversized, David Byrne-esque blazer with the mesh bodysuit for a dinner date, or donning the harness with a tight Jean-Paul Gaultier turtleneck for drinks with friends. How much wear you get out of them depends on how creative you can get—and how good you are at tying knots—this Halloween, and beyond.

The Best Latex Clothing (for Making Trinity Proud) https://www.vice.com/en/article/best-latex-clothing/ Fri, 07 Oct 2022 19:24:28 +0000 https://www.vice.com/?p=43415 Whether you're cracking whips in the bedroom or selecting a lowkey horny ‘fit for brunch, latex clothes giveth.

Everyone has simped for someone in a latex Trinity (à la The Matrix) top at the basement rave at some point, and everyone deserves to harness the power of the material in a way that works for them—not only at the clerb, but also at your average daytime function. If nothing else, any fall and winter latex ‘fit should feel the way Sade sounds: smooth, warm, and full of nonchalant sex appeal. Just ask TikTok’s Chrome Biscuit Lady, the latex suit femme of the month.

You don’t have to have a BDSM dungeon to get into latex and vinyl clothing, although we highly recommend complimenting your Wassily chair with an industrial pommel horse. Latex fashion has evolved quite a bit since the indie sleaze era. We’ve swapped our American Apparel PVC skirts for vinyl cargo pants and luxury bustiers, and we’re pairing our zip-up latex tops with jeans for day, while finding the right knee-high latex boots for night.

When done right, latex can make our wardrobe feel a lot less boring during the dreary winter months. Whether you’re going full Kinky Boots, or just looking to compliment your tweed fall ‘fits with a few latex accessories, we’ve lassoed the best latex, vinyl, and PVC clothes to casually remind everyone of how good you are at sex.

How to wear latex pants

Wondering how to wear latex pants without looking like you’re stuck in a Christina Aguilera music video? Opt for a wide leg fit in lieu of a skin-hugging PVC legging, or cop slim vinyl 80s trousers from the Italian fashion house Fiorucci. Pair your pant with a chunky, textured sweater to contrast with the smoothness of the pants.

The best going-out tops

The best latex tops should make you feel like Marianne Faithfull in The Girl on a Motorcycle or the star of a lowkey horny monk/courtier from an Enigma music video. Full-blown bodysuits and bustiers are a latex classic, but sites such as Etsy, Miaou, and even Amazon have church-appropriate (by latex standards) tops for all genders and price ranges. Pair them with a 90s cargo raver pant, long denim skirt, or wide leg jeans, and you’re dressed to tackle, the brunch, and the clerb.

The best latex bodysuits and lingerie

We fully stan a head-to-toe Trinity bodysuit, but you can also master the art of peek-a-boo latex. Wear a high-neck latex bodysuit under your jeans with a massive winter coat, or find a romantic PVC bra from luxury lingerie brands such as Fleur du Mal, and pair it with an oversized masc blazer and jeans; everyone will fall in love with you as you rip your vape on the barstool, oozing nonchalant sex appeal.

Smooth moves in latex shoes

Slip-on sneakers and shoes were made for hot, lazy people like us. Birkenstocks fulfill our normcore needs, but these low-top, Italian PVC slip-on sneakers are very Larry-David-after-dark.

Why didn’t Zoe Kravitz wear these in the new Batman movie? Amina Muaddi’s knee-high latex boots make us want to swing nunchucks, plan a heist, and floss our teeth with our ex’s Bitcoin.

Latex can be outerwear, too

What repels moisture, keeps you warm, and feels really cool? Your mom’s tongue. Rubber, dude. One of latex clothing’s hottest clichés is that it’s only worn to be taken off,  but it can also shield you from the elements in the form of a classic bomber jacket and trench coat.

… Even when it’s puffer season

Don’t have a black puffer yet? Are you even from New York?? Winter coats can cost hundreds of dollars, but there are plenty of affordable vinyl puffer jackets on Amazon and ASOS with that cool, shiny PVC texture that makes our cold weather wardrobes feel less frumpy.

Looking slick.

Everybody hold on to your undies, because Parade’s first-ever retail collaboration with Urban Outfitters just dropped. Frankly, we’re surprised these two affordable fashion forces haven’t teamed up yet, but the fruits of their interwoven sartorial labor are just as juicy as we’d hoped. They’ve given us a whimsical collection of mushroom-embroidered bras, dreamy pastels, colorful graphics, and silky recycled fabrics for all genders in sizes XS to XXXL. Plus, a portion of each sale will be donated to the Transgender Law Center (TLC), an organization that seeks to enact concrete change in legislation regarding the acceptance and liberation of trans or gender-noncomforming people. When it’s this hot out, we know all we’re wearing around our apartments are undies, so here are a few of our fave pieces from the collab for chests and booties of all shapes and sizes.

A retro, recycled mesh thong

The high-cut legs on this thong give a sexy Baywatch silhouette, and it comes in two staple shades: a pinky-orange and black. They’re made out of ultra-lightweight recycled mesh that’s super breathable and soft on your more delicate parts, and because it’s sheer and has flat, sheen trims it’s the perfect barely-there pair for underneath the slinkiest slip dress or tightest pair of booty shorts.

A cheeky little bikini set

A matching set is always the move, and this one is made out of uber-soft, cooling fabric with sustainable cotton linings and a 360-degree stretch, making it breathable and comfy on those hot, summer boob-sweat days.

A picnic-inspired graphic set

This UO-exclusive picnic print set is made of the same iconic super-fine recycled mesh that Parade is famous for, but with a juicy, fruity embroidered print. The bottoms have cheeky coverage and a slinky string waistband that won’t pinch or roll.

A super cheeky butterfly bottom, for your secret garden

These high-rise, cheeky undies have a cotton lining for plenty of ventilation and will give your itty-bitty thongs a run for their money. They’re  dainty and delicate looking, but with a little more coverage, so they’re perfect for wearing under your vintage Levi’s..

A dreamy take on a cult-favorite

This style of thong is a cult-favorite amongst Parade fans for good reason. The super-silky mesh gives that barely-there feel and look. Plus, it now comes in this ethereal, pastel, tie-dye print that is giving us 90s beach goddess vibes.

Peep the rest of the collab on the Parade and Urban Outfitters sites today and support the Transgender Law Center.
