Flirty And Romantic

When you want to look sexy and romantic, choose lingerie that is lacy and sheer. This trend works well because it gives you the perfect opportunity to show off your best assets.

Sheer and lace lingerie trends

1. Cami

Choose a cami in a sheer fabric like this $32 Affinitas Intimates version, which is available at Lauren Silva with flirty scalloped edges and bow details to look sexy in the sack. Match the cami with sheer, lacy panties to complete the look.

2. Thong

In a thong, sheer lace gets elevated to a much sexier level. The black color and low-rise cut make these not-your-granny's lace panties. This Nina Ricci thong is available for $62 from The Outnet.

3. Tights

Lace tights add an unexpectedly sexy element to any outfit. Whether you choose a floral pattern like these $20 DKNY tights from Bloomingdales, or a demure lace design, sheer tights are sexy and office-appropriate.

4. Boyshorts

A little lacy and a little sheer, this comfortable cut gets a sexy makeover in the Nude & Attitude Boyshort from Hanky Panky. Pick up one or two pairs in fun colors for $37 each.

5. Bra

If you want to avoid lingerie that's too sheer, choose a printed, lace bra like this one from Vassarette, available in stores like Kmart and Wal-Mart. It provides coverage while still looking sexy.

6. Bikini

Feel sexy in a traditional bikini cut. These bikini panties pair black or neutral lace with a sexy waistband for a fit that's trendy and comfortable. At $10 each, pick up both colors from Bloomingdales.
