If there's one constant in life, it's that trends are always changing and evolving. One second skinny jeans are the world's greatest thing and the next they're out of fashion. And while you don't need to stay up to date on every fast-moving fashion trend headed your way, knowing what this year has to offer and deciding whether you want to try out some new styles will always be a super fun new year activity. Especially once you realize that outerwear fashion isn't the only thing that has trend cycles. Everything does! Including - our personal favorite - lingerie.
Regardless of whether you're looking to impress a romantic partner or just want to feel sexy throughout your everyday life, wearing lingerie can feel like a powerful secret. A secret filled with delicate fabrics, gorgeous designs, and the fact that you know you're wearing something that's just for you. Which is really just another way of saying that lingerie's secret lies in the confidence you feel when you're wearing something that you know you look good in. That's really what trends are all about: finding out which styles are perfect for you so that you can take part in them.
So if you want to know what the top lingerie trends of 2023 are, you're in the right place, here's everything you'll need to know to look hot, stay sexy, and feel confident.
In the past, lingerie has felt like a super serious matter. It used to be stiff, uncomfortable, and only worn in a couple of colors. And while lingerie has become more comfortable and much less stiff, there haven't been many more color options than the classics: black, white, nude, and soft pink. Sexy, for sure. But also clearly designed to never be seen except for on special occasions. Which is great if that's what you're looking for - there is a reason these are the classic colors - but now there are lingerie options for those that just want to have some fun.
Which is why we're so happy that in a world defined by neutrals, lingerie dared to be different. 2023 is going to be a year of bright, bold, and -most importantly- fun colors. The brighter the better! If your lingerie doesn't immediately make you want to smile, then you probably shouldn't be wearing it. Which is exactly what this trend is all about!
With bright and bold colors such as those seen with the Dita Von Teese Severine Garter Belt and matching Severine bra and thong, you're encouraged to lean into dressing however makes you happiest. Especially if what makes you happiest is bright and playful colors.
Feeling sexy lies in confidence. It's your secret weapon against the world. And while what makes you feel good about yourself is entirely up to your own personal feelings, there are some universal confidence boosters that almost everyone can feel good about. One of those being when you feel good in what you're wearing. For some, this may come in the form of your outerwear clothes, maybe your hair, makeup, piercings, or lack of any of the above. For others, confidence in your skin can come from your body and your intimate apparel, which is arguably one of the most intimate forms of confidence because lingerie is designed to highlight your natural physical features.
And what better way to feel good in your own body through intimate apparel than with lingerie that barely hides anything, while still giving all the support you may desire. Sheer lingerie is exactly that. Adorn your body with barely-there bits of luxurious fabric that not only highlight all your best features, but also offer all the support you would look for in your bra and underwear. It really is sheer perfection. With pieces like the Dreamgirl Heart Mesh & Lace Bustier Set, you can explore all the benefits that come from falling in love with your body by wearing a coordinating sheer bra and panty set that leave absolutely nothing to the imagination.
This is going to be a year to lean into the parts of fashion that make you happiest. It's a time to dress exclusively for yourself and however you feel the best. And while for some people this can come in the form of bright colors, dainty silhouettes, and all-around traditional femininity, there are just as many options available for those that like to embrace the darker and sexier sides of fashion. Luckily, there's something for everyone! In the case of lingerie trends for 2023, some of the sexiest options are going to have strap detailing.
Case in point, have you seen the Bluebella Aurora Open Cup Bra and matching panties? They're hot! And completely defined by their straps and chain detailing. Talk about a powerful secret, strappy lingerie is designed to make you feel sinful. It's almost like the straps mimic bondage which just screams sex. So if you're in the mood to dress like you're ready to be tied down, check out the Oh Là Là Chéri Raelynn Satin Bra & Panty Set which will give you even more coverage, more straps, and more support than you'll ever dream of needing.
While wearing lingerie can still be a secret that you decide when to reveal, finding any excuse to show off your lingerie pieces to the world can be just as powerful as it is visually gorgeous. And there's no better way to show off your lingerie pieces to the world than by styling lingerie in your everyday outfits.
Which is exactly what this trend is all about. 2023 is the time to show off your favorite chemises, sexy bra sets, teddies, or any lingerie style that you love in an outfit that centers around your most beautiful intimate apparel. It's a time to relish in feeling good and showing off. Something that is easier than ever to do with such beautiful lingerie and fashion trends that really accentuate loving our bodies.

Or wear this Bluebella Grace Soft Garter Basque on top of a dress or ruffled skirt for an incredibly romantic but sensual night out. The world is your oyster! Go out there and style your lingerie, however makes you happiest!
When it comes to lingerie, all the best design features lie in the details. Eyelet lace makes for a beautiful finish, adjustable straps feel like a powerful statement, carefully constructed supportive pieces, and there's very little more quintessential to lingerie than a bow. It's the daintiest detail that makes a world of difference to the feeling of wearing the piece. What's a bra or panties without a little bow in the center? Still a bra and panty, but a bra and panty that could be so much cuter with the addition of such a small detail.
Luckily, for all those bow lovers out there, trending lingerie pieces are featuring more and more bow details. And not just in the middle of the gore (the area between your underwire on the chest), the more bows the merrier! In the case of the Dreamgirl Eyelash Lace & Satin Chemise Set, the purple satin underwriting transforms into large bows that tie at the shoulders. The bows are gorgeous and rich, but subtle. If you'd like a bow a bit more front and center, check out the Dreamgirl Deep Plunge Crotchless Lace Teddy for a frilly and elegant lingerie piece look with a big bow front and center tied around the waist.
This is a year for support. With the past couple of years focusing on comfort and on taking the underwire out of our bras, it should come as no surprise that we're ready to add support and structure back into our underwear. Bra and lingerie brands everywhere have been thinking of how to make the underwire more comfortable and functional, and they've succeeded. Long gone are the days of underwire that digs into your skin and randomly snaps out of place. Now is the time for underwire that's as comfortable as it is supportive.
Underwire bras like the Pour Moi Dark Romance Underwire Cage Bra and the Curvy Kare Unchained Sheer Plunge Bra are incredibly supportive while still being comfortable and special-occasion pieces. When it comes to keeping all the support of underwire, you also don't have to settle for only wearing a matching bra and panty set, there are a whole world of options available if you want that extra support but still want to wear super cute lingerie. A perfect example is the Curvy Kate Lucky Star Plunge Bodysuit which is designed with lots of structure and control while still having beautiful design elements that will help you feel like your sexiest self.
