Is That What You’re Wearing?

When it comes to underwear, you have all the answers.

Buttless? In the bedroom. Boxers? Best on the couch.

But Lornnie Louie’s new intimates collection is a stumper. It’s definitely classified as comfy, but it’s got high hubba-hubba qualities, too.

Each piece in the tightly edited debut line is smartly constructed with sophistication and charm. Well-appointed chiffon ruffles frill up camis and ruched boy shorts. Vintage-pinup-girl sweetheart necklines get an updated pairing with a baby doll shape.

And the prints will really catch your eye: Choose from playful pinky English teacups, navy silk with candy-bright bows, or a ladylike floral that doesn’t scream “granny” at all.

It’s not exactly made for layering.

But with lingerie this pretty, you have to ask yourself under-why.
