I can't really explain why, but there's nothing quite like wearing a pretty, lacy matching set to instantly make me feel sexy and empowered. Because of the hefty price tag that comes with quality underwear, it's not something that I often splurge on — but when I do, I always make sure to turn to the best labels available. When it comes to beautiful lingerie, the French have always dominated the market, with some brands having been created as early as the 19th century — no wonder, then, that they have since perfected the art of comfortable yet elegant underwear! So, now that you've learnt how to correctly put your bra on, here are 10 brands you should know about.
