You’ve prepped a special Valentine’s Day pastry for dessert. You’ve wrapped a decidedly non-cringe gift you’re sure he’ll appreciate or she will love. But seriously, what’s going to make it fun for both of you is to really go all out and wear a special piece of lingerie intentionally selected for them to admire. We’ve found the best Valentine’s Day lingerie you’ll delight in, from the subtly alluring (a pure silk teddy) to the practically NSFW (introducing the ouvert, which is French for a panty with an extra opening). Sexy corset? We got you. A vivid satin cami? That too. Without further ado, 20 of the best Valentine’s Day lingerie pieces you can wear on February 14 and beyond.
