The 17 Best Affordable Lingerie Brands In 2021 For A Sexy Wardrobe On A Budget

6 min readApr 9, 2021

For any clothing or fashion lover, lingerie is a great way to experiment with your style — it’s a safe place to play with new and fun looks to see what you feel most confident and sexy in. Unfortunately if you’re on a budget (hear, hear!), testing out lots of different thongs, teddies, push-up bras, and sexy robes in lots of different colors and styles isn’t really an option unless you’re doing the work to find the best affordable lingerie brands.

Fortunately for you, these brands below all fit the bill of being some of the most affordable lingerie brands on the internet right now. What’s even better is that what they lack in cost isn’t reflected at all in the actual brands. From Amazon’s best-selling lingerie brand, AvidLove, to Rihanna’s iconic Savage x Fenty line, these are some of the most famously loved brands out there– — they just happen to be in most budgets, too.

Online shopping can always feel like a risk (especially when it comes to clothes) but with these brands, the risk is a whole lot lower. The majority of brands on this list feature most items under $20 without skimping on quality. You’ll likely love some so much, they’ll become staples in your sexy wardrobe, even if you’re just buying that one flattering lace bra in ever color it comes in.

So, go ahead. Check out the brands below and feel free to test out a floor-length robe with faux fur trim or the bedazzled teddy you already plan to have your partner rip off you the second they see you in it.

4
BEST SEAMLESS LINGERIE

Coobie is the name behind one of Amazon’s bestselling seamless bras, and one look at the reviews will make you understand why. Their brand is all about comfortable and versatile items, from their bra-lined camis to strapless bras you’ll actually enjoy wearing.

5

Long-Lined Lace Bralette

All.You.LIVELY

BEST FOR SMALLER CUP SIZES
Everyday Lace Bralette

Pepper
$38.00
SHOP NOW
Made to empower women with smaller boobs, Pepper is all about providing physical (and emotional) support to women with A and B cup sizes. Most of the range is under $50 even though the fabrics are super high quality and made ethically in Colombia.

Bootaybag
Bootaybag
SHOP NOW
If you’re the person who goes through underwear faster than cartons of milk, Bootaybag is the option for you. For as little as $10 a month, they’ll send you a fresh pair of undies every month. It’s great subscription to give as a fun birthday gift, too.

9
BEST FASHION-FORWARD LINGERIE
Rosie Lace High-Waisted Briefs

$14.50
SHOP NOW
ASOS is a breeding ground for fun, trendy brands, but their own homegrown brand is low in cost and one of my personal favorites to shop. Their sexy sets are always fashion-forward and always a little unique, so they’re perfect if you want a distinct piece to add to your wardrobe.

These pieces are usually under $20 and sell out fast, so you’ll want to keep a frequent eye on their “What’s New” section — especially during site-wide sales.

10
BEST UNIQUE LINGERIE
Floral Sheer Balconette

Savage x Fenty
$64.95
SHOP NOW
No lingerie list is complete without Rihanna’s famous brand, whether we’re talking about budget buys or the sexiest underwear out there, period.

Her underwear sets and sexy teddies are fun, flirty, and playful (you won’t find any nude essentials here). The fact that most items are under $30 is just a beautiful bonus.

11
BEST FOR VALUE
Lace Teddy

Adore Me
$24.95
SHOP NOW
Adore Me is based upon the belief that quality lingerie should never be out of budget, so their size-inclusive range is all affordable with most pieces landing in the $50 range.

What’s more is that if you end up really liking their sexy two-piece sets and wide range of one-piece sets, you can get a VIP membership in which you get extreme discounts, mostly around 50 percent off.

12
BEST ESSENTIALS
Real Power Balconette

Aerie
$35.97
SHOP NOW
This may not exactly be a hot take (you’ve likely owned at least one pair of Aerie underwear in your lifetime), but the brand has recently evolved to more sexy pieces beyond essentials, including lace balconettes and wireless push-up bras that are just as comfy as they are dainty.

Their bras are the ultimate choice when you don’t actually want to feel like you’re wearing a bra.

13
BEST QUALITY
Satin Lace Bodysuit

And Other Stories
$59.00
SHOP NOW
H&M is a great go-to for affordable lingerie, but their sister company, And Other Stories, serves up luxury retro-glam vibes for just a percentage of the cost more at far higher quality.

Plus, most of their pieces are made with 100 percent cotton, so if you have sensitive skin, these are great pieces to sleep (and get sweaty) in.

14
BEST THONGS Never Say Never Thong 2-Pack

Cosabella
$38.00
SHOP NOW
If thongs are your thing, or you just happen to be thong-curious, Cosabella is absolutely the place to start. Their comfortable fabrics have a barely-there feel, and their styles mimic that of other brands where similar styles cost up to hundreds of dollars.

This brand is perfect if you want a luxurious feel without the associated price tag.

15
BEST ACCESSORIES
Journelle Allegra Suspender Belt

Journelle
Journelle
$24.00

It’s likely that you have your go-to lace bra and panties set that you know makes you feel sexy. But, for times you want to get a bit more playful with suspender belts, sexy silk pajamas, or luxurious-feeling slips that still feature universally-loved fabrics, Journelle is your luxurious go-to.

The brand features affordable pieces that feel and look like they came custom-made out of a fancy Parisian couturier.

I dare you to try on one of Oh La La Cheri’s range of size-inclusive robes, thongs, suspenders, or babydoll chemises without feeling sexy. Where lingerie can sometimes get repetitive, there’s always something unique about this brand’s pieces without being too extreme.

It’s perfect if you’re just dipping your toe in to the lingerie pool and want to test out a range of items to see what matches your style best — with most pieces being under $40, feel free to experiment.

17
BEST FOR LARGER CUP SIZES
Curvy KateUnwind Bralette

Curvy Kate
bravissimo.com
$55.00
SHOP NOW
For sizes DD to JJ, Bravissimo’s soft-touch bras are a sexy must-have. Most of their styles offer dual-sizing, too, meaning you can accommodate for one boob being a size or two larger than the other. What’s sexier than comfort, anyway?
