25 Bras, Socks, And Underwear From Target To Freshen Up Your (Slightly Worn Down) Basics Wardrobe On A Budget

Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.

1. A wire-free push-up bra, because support and comfort should not be mutually exclusive. Instead of using wire that digs into your ribcage or eventually stabs its way out of the fabric, this bra uses molded padding to offer a medium lift that won't make you want to rip it off the second you get home.

Target

Promising review: "Hands down the most comfortable bra I've ever purchased! Although it's wire-free, it still offers so much support." —Britt

Price: $15 (available in band sizes 32–40, cup sizes A–DDD, and two colors)

2. A seamless contour bra that won’t make a surprise appearance under your V-neck tee. Moisture-wicking and wire-free, this will totally have your back this summer.

Target

Promising review: "I wear this all the time. It provides great shape despite not having wire and doesn't hold onto odor. Sometimes, I accidentally fall asleep wearing it because it's so comfy. It's thick enough to perform like a padded bra. Wouldn't wear it as a high-impact sports bra due to the plunge cut but it's great for day-to-day wear. The plunge cut is very attractive." —Meags

Price: $15.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and four colors)

3. A pair of leak-proof briefs for a no-drama period. The core can absorb up to 12 regular tampons' worth of flow, so you don't have to worry about keeping a backup in your purse. Imagine how much money and waste you'll save by replacing your disposable period products with a pair of these!

Target

Promising review: "I like the material — very comfortable. I was able to do a full Zumba class on my heaviest day while wearing these without any leakage. Plus, they stayed in place better than my regular underwear! I bought more of them! So happy that period underwear exists now. I have young daughters, so I'm glad they'll have more options for when they are newer to periods in the future." —Christina

Price: $25.99 (available in sizes S–XL)

4. A thong that adds a little spice to your date night 'fit. With a high-rise cut, a stretchy waistband, and an ultra-lightweight design, it’s basically lingerie that you can wear without immediately wanting to climb out of it.

Target

Promising review: "Not only do these panties have a nice color palette, but they're also comfy to wear! I like the lace in the center!" —Beautiful colors

Price: $11.96 (originally $14.95; available in sizes S–4X and two colors)

5. A balconette bra with a sweet lace overlay, because who says your everyday bra can’t also be a little flirty? It’s got unlined, wired cups for shape, soft jersey fabric for comfort, and just enough sheerness to keep things interesting.

Target

Promising review: "This bra surprised me!!! I’m a large woman (48DDD) and finding affordable, comfortable bras can be incredibly frustrating. BUT this bra is SUPER comfy. May not be the most supportive, but it still creates a nice shape without torpedos or sag. I 100% recommend this bra and will buy a few more, too!!!" —Wow

Price: $22 (available in band sizes 32–48, cup sizes A–G, and two colors)

6. A pair of briefs with side fasteners for anyone who needs (or just appreciates) a little extra ease in their morning routine. Whether you have limited mobility or you're simply not in the mood for a balancing act before coffee, these moisture-wicking, leak-proof, tag-free undies have your back(side).

Target

Promising review: "This is amazing. I discovered these undies and I tell you I not wear another. A true life-saver. I go to the beach I take the, I go to the gym I take them, I go out with the girls I surely have one under my outfit. Sooooo comfortable, breathable(for those nights u r on the dance floor the whole night) and convinient. Just pull them off and but them on easy and fast. A great invention for the disabled. My friend loves them she is in the wheelchair and has very limited mobility, but is very independent. She always says "l love these, I just can put them on and pull them off, like magic and I am always fresh". She loves how she doesn't experience any hassle with putting them on and pulling them on without help. To whoever made these, thank you from me and the disabled community. And they have bras now, whaaaat?!" —Nazanin T

Price: $25 (available in sizes XS–XXL)

7. A 3-pack of athletic ankle socks with ruffles so you can have your cake and eat it, too. With cushioned heels and toes to keep blisters at bay, plus arch support for all-day comfort, these are as functional as they are fashionable.

Target

Promising review: "So comfortable and cute! I've received a lot of compliments. Highly recommend." —BoyMom3918

Price: $12 (available in six colors)

8. A seamless brami for those days when you can't tolerate a real bra but don't want to put your tatas on display. This soft, unlined cami gives you just enough support to feel secure without feeling strapped in.

Target

Promising review: "These are the most comfortable bras I own. Yes, some people might not consider them bras, but for me, they are. I own every color. They are so easy to get on. You can even step into them. And they are $10!!! Are you kidding me?! For an amazing comfortable bra. And they can be worn as sports bras by themselves." —Nicole

Price: $6.50+ (originally $10; available in sizes XS–1X and four colors)

9. A pair of seamless boy shorts that finally deliver on the promise of comfort and coverage without turning into a wedgie halfway through your day. They’re soft, stretchy, and the kind of basic you’ll immediately regret not buying in bulk.

Target

Promising review: "These are the boy shorts I’ve been searching for! My old brand was discontinued, and I’ve been disappointed with every other so-called boy-shorts I’ve tried. Hated them all. These are the perfect length, they offer the perfect amount of control, and they come in black (non-negotiable). I purchased two pairs in the store, took them home, tried them on, and just purchased five more pair online as part of a promotion! Doing my happy camper dance right now." —Tamara

Price: $6.80 (originally $8; available in sizes XS–2X and four colors)

10. A pair of slip shorts so you can get through this summer chafe-free without having to give up your beloved sundresses. They’re ultra-lightweight, sweat-wicking, and breathable enough to survive a heatwave wedding or a sweaty subway commute without having to call it quits early because your thighs can’t tolerate one more second of contact.

Target

Promising review: "Did exactly what I needed. i wore these to an outdoor ceremony in 100-degree weather under a cotton dress, and they sucked up most of the moisture and kept my thighs dry! They are snug, which is good if you want smoothing, but I could have sized up and still been fine." —rachel

Price: $14 (available in sizes S–3XL and two colors)

11. A three-pack of crew socks for anyone in the always-cold club. They’re thick enough to keep you cozy but made with a soft, stretchy cotton blend that won’t leave you sweating through them by the time brunch wraps up.

Target

Promising review: "I love these socks! Medium thickness and very soft. Keeps your feet warm but not sweaty. I wear with both boots and bostons." —Lovetarget

Price: $8 (available in three colorways)

12. A cheeky pair of underwear which fits like a second skin and vanishes under leggings, jeans, or whatever else you’ve got on. Seamless edges mean no panty lines, the cheeky cut gives a little sass without sacrificing comfort, and the fit is so smooth you’ll forget you’re even wearing them — until laundry day hits, and you realize you need five more.

Target

Promising review: "These are my absolute favorite seamless underwear. Love how they are cheeky. I've tried many seamless, no-show brands, and these are the only ones I wear now. They never disappoint!" —Stefany

Price: $5 (available in sizes XS–XL and 10 colors)

13. A lacy, low-rise thong that is totally worth it. I’ve tried so many other brands, but I always come back to Hanky Panky. The sexy, V-shaped waistband is stretchy enough not to dig into your hips, and it’s seamless under just about everything. As long as you keep them out of the dryer, these thongs will stay in great shape for years.

Target

FYI, these one-size panties fit sizes 4–14. If you’re size 0–4 or 14–24, check out Hanky Panky’s petite or plus-size versions for the same comfy fit.

Price: $14.40 (originally $24; available in five colors)

14. A shapewear bodysuit because it doesn't involve a waistband that cuts off circulation. Adjustable straps, pinch-free leg openings, and a split gusset for easy bathroom trips make this the MVP of shapewear. Plus, it’s open-bust, so you can BYOB (bring your own bra, obviously).

Target

Promising review: "I was impressed with this bodysuit. Like most bodysuits, it was a bit of a struggle to get on, but once it was on, it was reasonably comfortable and stayed in place. I prefer this type of bodysuit to the one that ends just below the bra line because it's continuous and therefore doesn't create a roll between the bra and bodysuit. Unlike other shapers that I have tried, this one actually made a difference by cinching up my waist! I also really appreciated the open crotch area which makes it possible to tinkle without struggling in and out of the bodysuit. It is also great value compared to other shapewear." —Smsunchild

Price: $20.99 (available in sizes S–3X and two colors)

15. An unbearably cute balconette that's basically the grown-up version of your "fun" bra. With fruits and veggies embroidered onto sheer mesh, it's equal parts whimsy, breathable, and supportive.

Target

Promising review: "Got the farmer's market design, and it is so cute. Makes my girls look perky but feels comfy. May have to get the other design, too. Paired with the matching panties, it looks so good." —Juni

Price: $28 (available in sizes XS–XXL, M+–XL+, and two designs)

16. A six-pack of ankle socks, so you can stock up on one style and stop playing the sock-matching game. Comfy, cushioned, and moisture-wicking, these socks will be comfortable under high-tops and sneakers alike.

Target

Promising review: “These might be my go-to socks. They’re super comfortable and cozy. I love the length because they don’t fall down with different shoes, and they don’t leave a harsh ring around my ankle like tighter socks do. Sometimes I try to restock and they’re literally sold out, so clearly they’re good." —Thatgirljess

Price: $6.99 (available in two colors)

17. A three-pack of ribbed bikini underwear which somehow delivers a snug enough fit that they don't roll down or ride up. Reviewers are obsessed with how they hug your body just right, and the seamless ribbed fabric makes them feel way more luxe than you'd expect from a multipack.

Target

Promising review: "Comfort to the max! Fit perfect! No riding up. All day comfort." —PDoodle

Price: $12.98 (available in sizes S–XXL and two colors)

18. A pair of cotton-spandex hipster undies your derm and OB-GYN would probably high-five you for. The 90% cotton makeup is ideal for sensitive skin and your downstairs health — cotton lets things breathe, which helps prevent irritation and infections.

Target

Promising review: "I will be ordering several more pairs of these in various colors. They are so breathable and comfortable. I feel like they stretch without compromising the fabric. So, I'll still be comfy on days when I'm bloated!" —Vanessa

Price: $6 (available in sizes XS–4X and four colors)

19. A two-pack of compression socks to boost circulation and reduce swelling with just the right amount of squeeze. They're perfect for long flights, standing-all-day shifts, or that moment you realize you’ve been sitting cross-legged for three hours straight.

Target

Promising review: "These were perfect for my needs. My medication gives me restless leg syndrome, and the only thing I've found that helped was tight socks. I decided to get actual compression socks, and these are perfect. They're relatively light compression, so it's enough pressure to help but not so much that they're uncomfortable to wear overnight. If you need serious compression these aren't for you, but if you just need a little, then they're perfect." —Lilli

Price: $14

20. A high-support sports bra that actually does what it promises — it keeps things in place without digging into your shoulders or making it hard to breathe (kind of important when you’re, y’know, working out). With molded cups, wide adjustable straps, and a classic hook-and-eye closure, it gives serious support without having to wrestle it over your head.

Target

Promising review: "My teenager loves this bra and has several of them. She says it offers her the most support and comfort. Worn for athletics and every-day wear. Thicker material doesn’t show nipples and no pad inserts to deal with. Moderate stretch." —Rachel

Price: $18 (originally $30; available in sizes XS–4X)

21. Or a three-pack of sports bras if you don’t need all that support and just want something soft and breathable. Perfect for lounging or light workouts, they’re simple, comfy, and under $5 a bra. No bells, no whistles — just cotton basics that get the job done.

Target

Promising review: "I wear these to the gym daily. They wash well and don't leave a funky smell. They have actually held up for over a few months. I don't see them going anywhere." —MA

Price: $15 (available in sizes 34–50 and 12 colors)

22. A just-for-funzies pair of ankle socks, because how could you not want to add those lil' weenies to your wardrobe?! The ribbed design keeps them in place, the fabric is lightweight and comfy, and the embroidered hot dogs bring chaotic-good energy to even the most boring errands.

Target

Promising review: "Super cute!! I love them! They have held up well with several washings and came at a good price!" —Kimberly

Price: $2.50

23. A pair of low-cut liner socks that actually stay on your feet, thanks to a hidden gel heel grip that keeps them from doing that annoying slide-into-your-shoe thing. Smooth toe seams mean no bunching or rubbing, and the low profile makes them perfect for flats, loafers, or any shoes you’d rather not wear barefoot.

Target

Promising review: "At first, I thought this tiny thing wouldn’t fit on my size-10, wide feet, but it actually stayed on! Even walking on a sloped hill, the socks never slipped off. Would recommend to everyone! 10/10" —Mood

Price: $5.59

24. A 6-pack of athletic socks that are low-profile but seriously loaded with comfort. They've got cushioned soles to soften every step, arch support for a snug, stay-put fit, and mesh panels to keep your feet from turning into sweaty little saunas. Whether you're hitting the gym or just power-walking through Target, these socks show up and stay hidden.

Target

Promising review: "This is probably my fifth time purchasing these socks. They are so comfortable that even my husband tries to steal them." —Llgirl

Price: $14

25. A push-up, strapless bra so you don't have to deal with constant yanking, twisting, or scooping any longer. With molded cups for lift and a wide band that keeps everything supported, it’s the kind of bra you’ll reach for when you have to go strapless but still want to feel secure (and dare we say, a little snatched).

Target

Promising review: "Super impressed! I’ve been searching high and low for the perfect strapless. This one stays put, gives a lift, and works under summer attire." —hetz07

Price: $15 (available in band sizes 32–40, cup sizes A–D, and three colors)
