Conceal or Reveal: Lingerie for Every Day

Some days you want to show off your sexy shoulders or trim tummy.

Other days, it’s more about snuggling on the couch. We’ve got you covered (or uncovered).

If you love your shoulders…

Women’s shoulders, neck and collarbone are always sexy and pretty. Show yours off in a chemise that flatters your décolletage and skims over your midsection. Perfect for almost any figure.

L to R:  The Lacie chemise, $38, Victoria’s Secret; Elle MacPherson Intimates chemise, $88, ‘scilla;  Fleur’t cotton and lace gown, $124, Posh (includes thong)

If you love your tummy…

You’ve toned and slimmed, so show off your midsection. And honey, even if you’ve got a little roll or bump, go for it! These are sexy pieces we want you to wear with confidence.

L to R:  Eloise lace bralette, $44, Hanky Panky lace thong, $18, both at Anthropologie; Cosabella lace bra, $60, lace thong, $39, both at Posh; Lou Paris bra, $129, bikini, $69, both at ‘scilla

If you love your booty…

Thongs use to be exotic; now we wear them to avoid panty lines. These lacy looks will make his heart beat faster, and we love the gorgeous jewel colors. (Skip the predictable black and red lingerie sets!)

If you love being cuddly…

Comfortable doesn’t have to mean ratty. Even if you’re in the mood for sipping a cup of tea and reading a book, you can still look fabulous.
