Best lace lingerie sets for women

Top pick: the Avidlove underwire floral lace set. An underwired bra with a matching strappy lace thong is the most dependable shape here — real support, and the kind of set that works for a date night or under a low-cut top. Hand wash it.

Who the others suit:

• Seamless wire-free embroidered set — the one to start with if you want comfort first; no wires, and it has the strongest review record of the lot.
• Halter bra and panty set — best for a special occasion or a backless dress; the halter neckline is the point.
• Floral lace garter set — if you want the full look with a garter, not just bra and knickers.
• Triangle bra 3-pack — for trying a few colours or keeping one for everyday wear.
• Underwired push-up embroidered set — if you want lift and a bit more cleavage.

Sizing runs small on several of these, so check each listing's size chart before ordering.
