The sexiest lingerie is more than what it looks like - it's what it feels like. Whether you're drawn to sheer, barely there silhouettes or pretty, vintage-inspired designs, playful patterns or peek-a-boo suspender sets, as long as you feel sexy and confident, there's nothing better.
And with Valentine's Day this weekend, there's no better time to treat yourself - or your partner - to a sexy lingerie set.
There's an abundance of sexy lingerie on the high street, and I've created this edit to speak to every type of sexy, from the overtly tongue-in-cheek seductive sets to the subtle; after all, the right underwear can transform the way you act, move and feel, and there's plenty of sexy underwear sets that'll have the desired effect.
- The sexiest black lingerie set: Lounge Florence Intimates Set, £80 / $100
- The red lingerie: Ann Summers Bon Bon Babydoll, £32 / $48
- The heart-print lingerie set: Bluebella Gia Open Heart Lingerie Set, from £24 / from $44
- The luxurious lingerie: Agent Provocateur Rubie Set, from £395 / from $425
- The Wuthering Heights inspired lingerie: Boux Avenue Carmine Lace Basque, £55
Of course, sexy lingerie is usually made from the sexiest of materials. Think lace panels, silky accents and soft, sensual cotton. Red, black and pink are the common colours for sexy lingerie but don't sleep on sumptuous plums, greens or navy blues and for something super sweet, white can be just as sexy as fire red.
As well as two pieces, look for those sexy bodysuits or period drama inspired basque and corsets - they may make you feel even sexier with the material hugging your curves.
