If you’ve been on the hunt for a great pair of everyday underwear, then you’re in luck. Tucked away in Nordstrom’s vast intimates section is a cult-favorite lingerie brand called Chantelle, and their undies may be the softest, lightest, and most comfortable undergarments on the scene. As if that weren’t enough, they look as good as they feel and you can snag them in one of your favorite classic silhouettes.
It was actually my 64-year-old mother who turned me onto this brand – she purchased them on a whim and now stocks up every time Nordstrom has a sale. She reports that the fabric is buttery soft, like a second skin that is undetectable under clothing. They have just the right amount of stretch and, according to her, fit like an absolute dream.
The Chantelle underwear is available in a few different silhouettes, like hipster, bikini and high-cut briefs. One unique thing about this brand is that all the undies are one size fits all, designed to perfectly conform to bodies that traditionally wear sizes 4-16. My mother, who usually wears a size medium, was initially very skeptical about the lack of clear sizing, but was shocked to find that the fit is perfect.
Regardless of which style you choose, all of these panties have a smooth, line-free look thanks to bonded sides and seamless edges that all but vanish under clothing. They’re made with a polyamide and elastane blend fabric that is featherlight and cloud-like, with a cotton-lined gusset that is ideal for personal health.
