If you’re tired of Victoria’s Secret, check out these indie lingerie brands
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion show, which was held in Shanghai this year, airs tonight, and has already spurred a slew of controversy. Particularly in the case of China denying Katy Perry entry to the country. Although many speculated it was because of her cultural appropriation, it was just due to visa issues. But model Ashley Graham made comments about VS’s continuous exclusion of plus-size models by posting a photo of herself in lingerie and angel wings.
Every year when the show rolls around, social media explodes with girls expressing their own bodily insecurities, mainly in series of posts comparing themselves to the extremely thin and tall body types that the show represents. Rather than sitting by the TV feeling bad about yourself, why not make yourself feel sexy in lingerie brands that are inclusive?
We’ve round up a list of lingerie brands that are not only low-key, but actually include diversity in their advertising.
Luvli Lounge
What started as a way for two broke besties to make money after some bad roomie issues is now a brand you don’t want to miss out on. Although they’re based in London, you can still get their stuff shipped worldwide.
