There’s something incredibly refreshing about starting again, clearing out the excess and getting back to what feels good. Over the past year, I’ve been redefining my wardrobe with a focus on quality, versatility, and timelessness. And the first place I started? My underwear drawer.

Underwear might not be what you show the world, but it’s what you wear every single day- and it sets the tone for everything else. Building a capsule wardrobe for your underwear is the easiest way to simplify your mornings, streamline your choices, and make sure you always feel effortlessly put-together.

The Case for Simplifying

We all have that drawer full of mismatched bras, tangled straps and pieces we never wear. Choosing to simplify doesn’t mean stripping things back to boring basics, it’s about curating high-quality essentials that work for you.

Think of your underwear like your skincare routine: once you find what feels right, you’ll never look back. For me, that means breathable, soft, natural-fibre fabrics that move with my body and look as good as they feel.

My Capsule Essentials

When I started building my underwear capsule, I focused on pieces that I could reach for every day, no matter the occasion- versatile enough for lounging, layering, or dressing up.

• Soft Cup Bralette: My go-to for everyday comfort. The wireless design and wide straps give just the right amount of support without any restriction. It’s what I wear under everything from T-shirts to blazers.
• TENCEL™ Ribbed Thong: The kind of thong that makes you wonder how you ever wore anything else. Seamless, smooth and made from buttery-soft TENCEL™ Lyocell, it feels like a second skin and disappears under clothes.
• Ribbed Tank Top: A minimalist must-have. The clean neckline and soft crinkle rib texture make it the perfect layering piece- under shirts, knits, or worn alone on warm days.
• Ribbed Boyfriend Shorts: Equal parts loungewear and staple. They’re flattering, airy, and made to move with you- ideal for relaxed days at home or styled with an oversized shirt for effortless weekend dressing.

Each of these styles shares the same quiet luxury that RENUE is known for: timeless silhouettes, neutral tones, and the softest natural fabrics.

Why Neutrals Work Harder

When it comes to capsule dressing, neutral tones are everything. Shades like ivory, espresso, and soft blush work seamlessly together, creating a wardrobe that feels cohesive and calm. You can mix and match without overthinking, and every layer from your bralette to your outerwear feels considered.

Neutral underwear isn’t just elegant; it’s functional. It sits invisibly under clothing, lets your outerwear shine, and feels inherently chic.

The Simplified Way Forward

Decluttering your underwear drawer might seem like a small change, but it sets the tone for a more intentional wardrobe. Fewer, better pieces- ones you truly love to wear.

RENUE’s collection is designed with that philosophy in mind: sustainable underwear and loungewear made from natural, breathable fibres, created to last beyond a season. From the softness of our bralettes to the versatility of our ribbed tanks and shorts, these are the foundations of a wardrobe that’s effortless, timeless, and authentically you.
