18 Pretty Lingerie Sets to Add to Your Top Drawer Immediately

Treat yourself (and perhaps someone else) to these.

By Ashley Achenbach

When you think of the best pieces from coveted lingerie brands, you might be thinking about them in terms of occasion—a cheeky date night, a special anniversary, and the like. And while a luxe lace or satin set does make one of the best gifts to give a girlfriend, it’s hardly reserved for those exclusively coupled off and elicits just as much confidence when worn under your favorite fall and winter knit set or peeking out from a menswear-inspired button-down shirt.

When shopping for lingerie, the most critical attribute is the sense of empowerment it evokes. After all, there’s nothing sexier than confidence. Personal preference aside, slipping into a matching lingerie set should always make you feel good in your skin, whether it’s something bold and sultry or something a little more refined and demure.

Below, I’ve rounded up 18 of the best lingerie sets for every style and occasion—or absence thereof—based on beloved brands, multifaceted designs, inclusive sizing, and opulent yet practical fabrics. Shop them all now.
