Luxury lingerie brands worth the money in 2024
One with a deep-seated love of lingerie could argue that owning sexy, feel-good intimates falls among Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Self-actualization and esteem top the human motivation pyramid and, from woman to woman, doesn’t basking in the self-love that high-end lingerie provides check both boxes?
We’re not telling you to take out a second mortgage to fund your bralette collection, but there’s something to be said about splurging on self-love. The question isn’t about who’s going to see it or whether or not it’s practical: the thing with lingerie is, it’s all about emotion. Confidence, control, sensuality, and sex appeal are reflections of your inner state. So if you want to treat yourself, just for the hell of it, these five high-end lingerie brands make the case that a little bit of lace can go a very long way.
