Valentine’s Day weekend is about to hit full throttle, which means dates, romantic nights in, avowals of love and hopefully a lot of risqué business. As you pull out all the stops—expensive wine, desserts of a caloric content that’d make Willy Wonka cringe, five-course dinners—it’s important not to forget that it’s what lies beneath that counts.
Yes, in a sense, we’re referring to your significant other’s virtues, but more literally, it’s time to invest in a set of Valentine’s Day-worthy lingerie. Whether it’s a shape-shifting bra to accentuate your anatomy and boost your confidence or a vintage, pinup-inspired ensemble to pique your sweetheart’s desire, the right underpinnings will ensure Cupid’s arrow hits its mark.
