Where to Buy Lingerie Sets With Garter Belts That Won’t Break the Bank

  |   By Estelle Puleston

It’s that time of the year when we start reintroducing hosiery into your daily wardrobe. But if you love pretty lingerie, why cover half of it with pantyhose? Hold-ups (worn alone) and stockings (worn with a garter belt) are your other options. And I prefer the peace of mind of a garter belt. I know that won’t slip down!

In the US at least, garter belts can seem like they’re for special occasions only. Easy enough to find from ultra-luxe brands like La Perla, much less so if you’re on a budget. Victoria’s Secret stocks a total of one alongside its 180+ bras. Soma and Aerie have none. And even Nordstrom only sells a handful.

But garter belts can be entirely practical for everyday wear! You only need to pay attention to the design. If you want to keep your stockings high on your thigh all day long, look for one that’s wide. If it’s ultra-narrow, it’s for the boudoir only.

A garter belt should ideally sit on your waistline too, not low down on your hips. And while 4-strap styles (the most common) work perfectly fine for me, added straps does mean added security.

So where do you go if you want a good-quality garter belt set that’s affordable? Many hosiery brands offer simple garter belt designs that you can coordinate with different bra sets. But it’s nice to have a fully matching ensemble, right?

Here are 11 low-to-mid priced brands that regularly design sets with garter belts:

Dita Von Teese is one of the pricier brands on this list, but not crazily so. Think $160 or so for a 3-piece set, and often to be found on sale. The burlesque star is heavily involved in the design work. So true to her style, every lingerie look includes a vintage-style garter belt---deep with six straps!

Honey Birdette

Another on-the-expensive-side-but-good-value brand is Honey Birdette, hailing from Australia. Overtly sensual as well as stylish, there’s a garter belt option in every collection. The belts themselves cost $60-85, and many of them are very wide.

Finally, there’s Touchable, a little-known British brand that focuses heavily on garter belt sets. Most are the deep, vintage style. And you can choose between 4, 6 or 8 straps as you prefer!

Do you wear garter belts? And do you struggle to find them in stores where you live?
