Top 55 Underwear Innovations in 2017

From Lingerie-Branded Lip Kits to Leak-Proof Workout Shorts

— January 28, 2018 — Fashion
These 2017 underwear innovations include a variety of styles for both women and men that make use of comfortable, supportive, and stylish designs. In some cases, brands have gone as far as to incorporate smart technology into their creations, to benefit those wearing the garments by enabling them to be more informed on their health.

A great example of this is the 'EVA' bra that was developed by Julián Ríos Cantú, a young designer who was prompted to create a breast cancer-detecting garment after his mother tragically passed away from the disease. The EVA bra works by incorporating biosensors that send the wearer information to a connected app. With these sensors, the bra is able to detect any changes to the body, including those concerning shape, temperature, and color.

Also included is the range of nude underwear from the brand Evelyn & Bobbie. Unlike many nude underwear collections on the market, Evelyn & Bobbie offer different colors to suit a variety of skin tones, making it more inclusive. In addition, the brand's underwear is free of underwire and boasts ultra-soft materials, making it incredibly comfortable to wear, while offering all the support one needs.
