Perhaps you’re already a pro when it comes to showcasing elements of lingerie in your wardrobe. Whatever part lingerie plays in your style, a lingerie party offers you the opportunity to make the frilly adornments and bold cut-outs your statement piece—not just an accessory.
Still, you have plenty of options to suit your style. Need help when it comes to how to pick out lingerie? These 9 lingerie party outfit ideas offer ensembles for every lingerie-loving fashionista.
Bras and blazers both have their places in fashion history. But if you’re willing to break style tradition, pairing both for your lingerie party outfit is one fantastic way to show them who’s boss.
For bra-and-blazer inspiration, you need look no further than recent runway shows where designers highlighted the combo for its subtle yet sexy look.2 Top your favorite lace plunge bra and matching panties with a blazer for a peek-through look that gives away just enough. For extra pizazz, try a velvet blazer or one in a bright color.
If you’re going out, opt for a pair of matching trousers on the bottom. Accessorize with heels, dangly earrings, and a sparkly clutch to keep the vibes glam and gorgeous.
For an outfit that feels as luxurious as it looks, accent your sexy lingerie with a silk robe or kimono. Pair the covering with a balcony bra and matching panties to add contrast to the robe’s floaty feel. To complete the high-low look, try them with a pair of high-waisted lace panties.
When it’s time to accessorize, incorporate pieces that feel just as chic and breezy, such as:
For situations where you need a little more coverage (such as when you’re on your way to the themed party location), choose a robe with a belt you can use to tie it closed. If you’d like a little more coverage on the bottom, add a pair of lace or silk shorts to keep it floaty and flirty.
Want an effortlessly sexy look that dresses up or down just as easily? Pair a lacy black teddy or bodysuit with jeans. This look gives you the sultry style of lingerie but offers a touch more modesty to your middle.
When choosing your denim, go with a pair of jeans that hug your curves, or pull on a distressed pair to show some extra skin. Finish off this look with a messy high bun, a pair of wedge heels, and some dainty jewelry.
For a lingerie look that works just as well in colder temps, try this fit with a slouchy knit or mid-length cardigan.
If you’d describe your style as biker-chick-meets-ballet, this one’s for you. Aside from looking oh-so-sweet, a lacy longline bra comes with a little more fabric in the band area. This feature can provide a touch more coverage and offers even more playful lace.
But what if you also want to add an edge?
A pair of leather or faux-leather leggings make the perfect pairing. With a slight shine and smooth feel, these leggings’ fitted look will offset the sweet appeal of your lacy longline bra. For an even more edgy style, accessorize your outfit with bold elements, such as:
Want to switch up this look even further? Try a leather jacket instead of leggings, and wear bottoms in a silky pink fabric instead.
Maybe your lingerie party will double as a movie night or sleepover—or maybe you just want all the coziness of a bedtime look. Either way, a cute and loungewear lingerie set can lead the way to ultimate (yet sexy) comfort.
The key to styling this outfit with ease is to find a balance of cozy and flirty. For example, wear a matching satin pajama set with a long-sleeve top and shorts. Instead of buttoning all the way up, leave the top slightly open (if not undone altogether) to let your lingerie peek through. Try this ensemble with a lacy wireless triangle bra in a contrasting color.
Even if your lingerie party turns into a slumber party, don’t forget to style this outfit up. Wearing a bold, flirty lipstick color and a winged eyeliner can keep your PJ set looking chic and intentional. Don’t forget to keep your feet cozy with a pair of matching slippers and a cute pedicure.
You may have heard of the “boyfriend” look, but this one is all about dressing up for your time with the girls. The star of the show? An unassuming, oversized plain white button-up. That might sound drab on its own, but a white shirt can be the ideal way to balance your boldest set of brightly-colored bra and panties.
When it comes to styling your shirt, you have a few options. Try wearing it:
If the shirt is oversized enough, you might feel comfortable going with just panties underneath. However, you can also feel free to pair it with some cute boy shorts or boxers. Alternatively, try a shirt dress that offers more length, but still allows a bright red lace bra to peek through.
If you happen to be a bride-to-be, a white slip dress offers the perfect combo of wedding chic and bachelorette sexy. A bra-like top with lined cups still gives you the sensuous look of lingerie, while a silky bodice and skirt transform the rest of this outfit into a slinky ensemble suitable for any night out.
Of course, you don’t have to have a ring on your finger to pull off this style. A black option can also offer an extra layer of evening sultriness.
To let your slip dress shine, keep your accessories simple. For your footwear, try a pair of open-toed slides (heels optional). If you need to add a bit of warmth, add a cropped denim jacket or a blazer.
If lace isn’t your thing, a cotton or jersey bodysuit can provide an alluring alternative without looking frumpy. Keep this fit feeling modern in a neutral color, but feel free to dress it up however you please.
Thanks to its chic simplicity, a bodysuit opens the door for all kinds of creative accessories.
Try it with:
The bra-over-shirt trend is nothing new, but it brings a level of the unexpected that keeps any outfit looking fresh.3 For a lingerie party, it also allows you the opportunity to show off your bra in all its glory—no cover-ups required.
The secret to this outfit is simple: wear your top underneath and layer a bra over it. Any style of bottoms will work for this fit, but a mini skirt can add to the flirty feel.
When choosing your layers, the trick is to play with varied fabrics and colors. For example, a plain white T-shirt provides an excellent backdrop for your fanciest jewel-toned demi bra. But you can also go tone-on-tone for a more subtle look. For this option, try pairing a fitted black long-sleeve top with a barely-there black lace bra.
However you decide to dress up your lingerie, one thing’s for certain: you’ll need a fashionable, flirty set to complement your other pieces and pairings.
