Ten top brands! [I Like Lingerie]
Here are the best French lingerie brands French girls swear by. If you love French girl style, you might already know that French women consider lingerie as the base for any look and they take lingerie shopping very seriously. Did you know that French women spend an average of 20% of their style budget every year on lingerie? Lingerie is a really big industry in France. And French lingerie brands have always maintained a long tradition of silk and lace making.
While we’re spending more time inside, it doesn’t mean we can’t still feel confident and fabulous while staying at home. And that starts with a beautiful set of French lingerie you can wear underneath your favorite loungewear outfit. Indeed, for French women, a stylish and chic lingerie piece is always the foundation of a chic outfit. For example, French women love to wear a silk camisole under a well-fitted blazer or a romantic lace bralette under delicate cashmere knitwear.
But most importantly, French lingerie is as elegant as comfortable to wear. And French women love to wear invisible, sculpting, refined and timeless underwear.
