For a Valentine’s Day gift in 2021, you really can’t go wrong with lingerie—it’s a romantic and thoughtful gift that’s sure to be appreciated by the special someone in your life. But lingerie isn’t a one-style-fits-all category so, when gifting lingerie, it pays to go the extra mile and select a set she’ll really appreciate. Whether she would prefer something sexy and unique or something she can bring out on special occasions or any day, there’s a present that’s perfect for her. Below is a round-up of Valentine’s Day lingerie ideas, along with thoughtful extra gifts you can pair with them.
Valentine’s Day is a perfect excuse to gift (or buy yourself) lingerie. And while there’s no wrong way to buy lingerie, Valentine’s Day is a great occasion to indulge in something extra special. This holiday is the ideal occasion to splurge on a piece of lingerie simply for the sake of loveliness. Consider a bustier or a chemise for someone who will enjoy a seductive but playful piece. For a woman who appreciates beautiful lingerie and also prizes comfort, consider a red lace wireless romper or a babydoll. And a garter set is always a surefire addition to any lingerie wardrobe.
Tip: A lace robe goes with any Valentine’s Day lingerie gift. The robe completes the look, plus the recipient will find plenty of other excuses to use it.

Valentine's Day Corsets
For a woman who already has a substantial lingerie collection, a corset could be an incredible Valentine’s Day treat. Because it both supports the breasts and cinches the waist, a corset creates a classic silhouette that’s equal parts timeless and flattering. Any lingerie enthusiast will love having a corset in her closet and find reasons to use it. She’ll also love that she can pair it with lingerie she already owns, like a thong, hosiery or garters, for endlessly different looks. And a corset doesn’t have to stay in the bedroom, either—depending on the style, some can even be worn as ready-to-wear.
Tip: Improve on the classics by pairing a corset with a decadent traditional Valentine’s Day present like roses or chocolate.

Valentine's Day Bras
Any woman will tell you that a good bra is worth its weight in gold, so a carefully chosen bra for Valentine’s Day is guaranteed to be a well-received gift. That will be especially true for a woman who is interested in lingerie she can use on date night as well as day-to-day; there are plenty of bra options that are supportive and stunning. A plunge bra is always a seductive option but it’s practical, too, since it works well with low-cut blouses and dresses. Lace bralettes are as beautiful as they are comfortable. The right bra, of course, will depend on a woman’s breast shape: those with wide-set breasts will love a good demi bra, while full-busted women might appreciate an underwire bra. If you’re thinking about buying a bra, it’s worth it to do some research beforehand to be sure you’re buying the right size bra in a style she’ll love.
Tip: Complement your bra gift with a coordinating panty, and don’t be afraid to stray from an exact match. Mix it up by playing with fabrics, for example, like a satin bra and sheer mesh panties.

Valentine's Day Panties
From thongs to boyshorts, there’s a style of Valentine’s Day panty to suit every woman. If you’re planning to give lingerie for Valentine’s Day, you probably already have a sense of her style preferences, so be sure to choose a panty you know she’ll feel confident in. For those who adore the risqué or want a piece that’s sure to make a night memorable, crotchless panties could be the way to go. Want to try something unexpected? See-through panties are an alluring idea. And for a woman who wants to use her lingerie more than just over the holiday, there are plenty of gorgeous styles that can stun on date night—or any night of the week.
Valentine's Day Sleepwear
Valentine’s Day gifts don’t have to be limited to lacy lingerie! A matching pajama set is a gift that’s thoughtful and practical. Just like wearing matching panties and bras can add a special boost to the big day, a matching pajama set can set the tone for a relaxing night. If she’s not crazy about lingerie, or if she already has plenty, a pajama set is a sweet way to be romantic. (And hey, if you want to up the ante, there’s no reason you can’t buy a set of undergarments to go with it.) A matching set of pajamas is a classy gift idea for someone you’re just getting to know or have been with forever.
Valentine's Day Lingerie Sets
Lingerie sets are a gift for the giver and the recipient. The giver doesn’t have to worry about picking multiple pieces and wondering whether they’ll match since bra and bralette sets come with the right panty to complete the look.
While it’s a no-brainer to reach for red-hot lingerie on Valentine's Day, a lingerie set can often pull double-duty by serving as everyday wear, too. Though nowhere is it written that she has to wear both pieces at the same time, a high-quality matching panty and bra set can give her a little extra pick-me-up on a day when she could use it. For a woman who is just starting to build her lingerie wardrobe, a set she can feel beautiful in is the ideal Valentine’s Day present.
If there ever was a time to give the gift of sexy lingerie, it would be Valentine’s Day. And with so many possibilities, from mild to wild, there’s no doubt a style or two that will make her feel her most beautiful. All that’s left to do now is decide.
