London-based label Underdays specializes in comfy underwear that's still bold and beautiful. Created by founders Amelie Salas and Oria Mackenzie, the brand aims to protect female health with comfort-first styles that are VPL-free without pinching or riding up.

Design house CDLP was formerly known for its menswear silhouettes, focusing on crafting quality essentials and basics. In the last couple of years, the brand made its foray into womenswear, utilizing details from traditional men's loungewear and underwear to create midweight and heavy-weight basics for women alongside bralettes, underwear and socks. Crafted with lyocell, the heavy-duty (but still somehow super soft) pieces offer superior breathability and boast natural moisture-wicking properties, resulting in ultra-comfortable styles that stand the test of time.
Fruity Booty
