Sexy Lingerie to Buy for Yourself This Winter
At times, underwear can be a practical purchase, like when you finally bite the bullet and shell out $60 for a ho-hum but necessary nude strapless bra, or stock up on half a dozen of your favorite everyday thongs on sale. Other times, though, it can be something special you buy for yourself—or someone else—just ’cause, and it’s not hard to guess which of the two we’re most partial to. So, now that we’re in the thick of gift-shopping season, why not add your own name to your list and pick up a lace-and-satin bralette to wear under all those layers, or a pair of high-waisted velvet undies to lounge around in at home? We can’t promise it’ll completely make up for the less festive aspects of the season (like, say, weather that requires all those layers in the first place), but it’s certainly a start. As for what to look for, we’re currently partial to boudoir-ish sheer pieces, like Mimi Holliday’s Art Deco-inspired unlined bra (available up to a J cup) and ASOS’ sweet polka-dotted set, or clean, minimal styles like Baserange’s luxe neutral briefs and Missguided’s satin-y scoop-neck bralette. Shop these—along with other irresistible finds for all sizes and tastes—below.
