Valentine’s Day Gift Guide: The Most Luxe Lingerie Sets To Wear In Or Out Of The Bedroom

Lingerie may seem a cliché gift for Valentine’s Day, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Pretty bras and panties can be both functional and fun if you choose well-made pieces that work for yours or your recipient’s body types.

Here I’ve collected pieces that will work for all shapes and sizes, with and without underwires, high and low-rise briefs, with some fun surprises (read: garters) thrown in because it is Valentine’s Day, after all.

Empress Mimi La Vie En Rose Valentine’s Day Bundle, $250

Might as well make it a lacy romantic bundle with this Empress Mimi set, complete with a 100% silk eye mask and two silk satin pillow cases. The two-piece, lace-trimmed satin pajama set also comes with a dainty heart choker. Empress Mimi offers box subscriptions as well, so you can keep your sexy lingerie game strong all year round.

Araks Beatrice Bralette, $103 and Aaron panty, $70

First off, it’s amazing and refreshing to see this silver-haired beauty modeling for Araks. The brand is also using older models Black and Brown models, as well as women with a variety of body types, so thanks to them for being inclusive. Second, these sets are on another level when it comes to style and the color ways they provide. This posey purple hue is a favorite, the mauve red is also a fantastic combo.

White GG tulle lingerie set, $1,100

If you or your valentine are into a subtle logo look, this luxe Gucci set fits the bill. It’s both perfect for a special occasion, yet practical enough to wear under a dress. And the nude color makes it undetectable underneath white or light colored garments for lighter skin tones.

Fleur de Mal ruched bow gift set, $450

This embroidered, ruched shorts and off-shoulder top will arrive beautifully gift-wrapped in a logo box with a black ribbon. The set is both sexy and sweet and perhaps a bit on the nose for the holiday, but personally I think that’s totally O.K. If not Valentine’s Day, then when?

Only Hearts Coucou drawstring tee, $80; tulip shorts, $40; tie bralette, $48; and culotte, $42

Each piece in this fun set must be purchased individually, but the result is worth the extra clicks. The sheer black polka dot pieces are effortlessly floaty and create a sophisticated yet playful look. The top could even be layered for a daytime or evening out look.

Dora Larsen Natalie Apex underwire bra, $79; high waist knicker, $45

These bright beauties are made of soft stretch tulle with Dora Larsen’s signature delicate lace created from recycled yarns. The underwire is supportive without going full push-up, and the briefs come in low or high rise. Pre-order and choose express shipping by February 10 for delivery by Valentine’s Day.

Agent Provocateur Bethanie full-cup underwired bra, $180; full brief, $115 and suspender, $155

Sultry and sweet, this Agent Provocateur 3-piece set is made of tulle and decorated with daisy petal appliqués. Satin bows adorn the center of the bra as well as its straps, and and underwire keeps everything in place. Vertical elastic at the rear of the briefs create a ruched effect.

Eres Attar bra, $465 and Tanga briefs, $270

It doesn’t get much more luxe than this. At the same time, these lace pieces are comfortable and appropriate for both work and pleasure. The paisley lace stretches to conform to curves.
