If you’re reading this, you have my permission to celebrate Valentine’s Day. It has become quite polarizing over the years as it has become an “Instagram post your relationship highlights reel” holiday. I can relate to feeling bitter envy rather than a box of chocolates after spending many Valentine’s Days alone. One time I had a boyfriend who forgot to say Happy Valentine’s Day on February 14. (Spoiler alert, we split up). This is when I changed my mind and made Valentine’s Day a holiday just for me. No matter your relationship status, you can kick off the season by purchasing sexy Valentine’s Day Lingerie. You will feel great, look good, and will be celebrated whether you are single or with a partner.

Lingerie can be viewed as having different levels. Level one is a flirty lace bra peeks from your shirt across the table. Level two: A babydoll slip, which acts as special occasion sleeping wear. Level three: The skin-to-fabric ratio is heavily influenced by skin with straps, garter bands, and little else. I believe you can go to any level, but Valentine’s Day is a level two-three scenario.

Valentine’s Day allows you to choose the most adorable (but difficult to execute) combination of colors: pink and red. Don’t worry if the delicate heart embroidery is broken. Layer on the lace! Shop the best Valentine’s Day lingerie sets for a hot date or self-love celebration.

Valentina Balconette Bra

This bra with a heart print is subtly festive. It will make an excellent surprise for your Valentine’s Day date. Pair it with the matching black thong.

Clarisse Unlined Plus

Black is always a great choice if you dislike red and pink colors. This bodysuit with attached garter comes in plus sizes

Marseille Bra

I have made it a rule that purple should be considered Valentine’s Day. This bra is cute and sexy and can be worn beyond February 14. The matching sheer pants complete the look.

Star Crossed Playsuit

This playsuit doesn’t have bows or flowers. It has buckles everywhere. You girls will look great and lively with the underwire bust.

Queen of Hearts Balconette Bra

The matching heart thong is also easy to wear under any outfit for a fun surprise.
