Here, Vogue breaks down some of the best women-owned lingerie brands—some new, some tried-and-true.

Cuup’s mission is to “redefine the way women look and feel in their underwear.” The brand recognizes that, historically, lingerie has been made to shape and change the female form. Cuup’s pieces challenge these standards with well-engineered solutions made for real bodies. Their pieces are sleek, minimalist, and designed to “accentuate, not alter the female form.”

KiT Undergarments is the brainchild of stylists Simone Harouche and Jamie Mizrahi. The duo launched KiT with the understanding that “good outfits require a good foundation.” Their bra and underwear staples provide just that.
