There are certain wardrobe essentials that we tend to overlook when it comes to updating our style. While I'm always keeping an eye out for the latest knitwear, dresses and denim, there's one particular part of my wardrobe that rarely gets the same attention - my underwear drawer. Considering it's the one thing we put on every morning, investing in comfortable, good-quality underwear is just as important as the clothes we wear over it.
Thankfully, two British brands have come together to make everyday underwear feel that little bit more special - specifically two brands loved by us here at GH. Boden, known for its playful prints and cheerful colour combinations that inject joy into every outfit formula, has teamed up with underwear specialist (and joint winner in the GHI's best underwear tests) Stripe & Stare for a brand new colourful collection.
Stripe & Stare co-founder and CEO Katie Lopes said: "We are so proud to be partnering with the icon that is Boden. Taking their signature stripes and florals and adding them to our hero knickers, camis and bras felt like the most natural thing in the world."
The nine piece collection features everything from classic knickers and high rise briefs to thongs and matching bras, with prices starting at a mere £18. There's plenty to love about the prints, too. Alongside Boden's signature stripes and sweet heart motifs, you'll find vintage wildflower designs, hand picked from the brand's archives, as confirmed by Ann Ceprynski, Head of Print Womenswear at Boden.
Delicate contrasting lace trims add a pretty finishing touch, while the collection's soft TENCEL fabric is designed to feel breathable and comfortable against the skin. After all, there's nothing worse than underwear that digs in or needs constantly adjusting throughout the day.
So, if you're looking to give your underwear drawer a refresh, the four-packs of knickers, priced at £50, are a particularly good place to start. Available in sizes XS to 4X, (yes, you read that right) the collection also includes £35 bralettes and a £30 lace trimmed camisole that would look just as great worn as a layering piece beneath autumn knitwear.
