Our Editors Swear This Is the Comfiest, Most Supportive Lingerie Around

Sponsor Content Created With Heist Studios

If you haven't tried Heist’s lingerie, shapewear or tights before, you haven’t lived. Okay, maybe that’s a bit dramatic, but seriously, if you wear underwear and don’t know about Heist, where have you been? All we can say is that you’re about to be incredibly thankful that we brought this "foundation-wear” brand into your life. And if you’re already a big fan, then you know what we’re talking about. 

Our editors have been recommending Heist’s no-sag, no-roll, very-hard-to-ladder hosiery since the brand launched in 2015 with just a few perfectly formed pairs on offer. The tight edit (get it?) was aimed at disrupting a rather uninspiring industry, and since then, Heist has been taking the same approach to lingerie and shapewear with great success. It’s now expanded its collection to make sure everything is technologically perfect, and it includes functional and beautiful undergarments that embrace the female body rather than striving to change it.

In our opinion, the brand’s crowning glory is one of its best-selling lines: the Sheer Silhouettes collection. It launched last year and is comprised of eight key silhouettes, including the ever-popular bralettes and four different knicker shapes. The silky-soft designs are spliced with artfully placed sheer accents and excellent built-in support using HeroPanels™ (no underwiring here) to create some of the most comfortable and good-looking underwear we’ve ever tried. 

The collection first launched in black, white and blush colourways, but the brand has just introduced the rather chic navy and berry colours across its signature styles for autumn. They work perfectly under everything from partywear to your favourite layered weekend attire, elevating every day with ease. Trust us—You only need to try Heist once to be converted.
