25 pairs of underwear so pretty that I plan to wear them as pants

I was a lingerie fanatic. I bought my first bra at 13 (a traumatic tale for another day) and quickly transitioned from my old cotton trusty to more exciting lingerie. I know I'm not the only one here who thought Victoria's Secret was the height of sophistication, and once I discovered La Perla and Agent Provocateur, that was it. I'd get dizzy slipping on a decadent lingerie set under an otherwise innocuous outfit.

Somewhere along the way, I settled into a daily routine of simple, comfortable (if a little boring) underwear. I spent a lot of time working from home in my sweatpants. Everything below became an afterthought. That is to say until the beginning of this year. While trying to renovate my closet, I came across a long-forgotten keychain that my wedding party had given me. My bridesmaid hosted a lingerie shower (a heartbreaking good time that I highly recommend) at my bachelor's house and my friends were not disappointed. Inspired by this collection of sexy, lacy, frilly underwear, I decided to revamp my lingerie drawer. My days at the WFH are so much more fun now that I'm pairing oversized sweatshirts with something flirtier below the waist.

Inspired to do the same? Whether you're wearing them for yourself (or someone else), these are some of the prettiest pairs of underwear out there.
