The Lingerie Lowdown

A Spicy, Sassy Guide to Feeling Yourself

Welcome to the lingerie aisle of life — where lace reigns, straps are confusing, and somehow everything either screams “hot damn” or “help me, I’m stuck.” Whether you’re booking a boudoir session, prepping for a spicy night in, or just want to strut around your house like a Roman goddess who pays her own bills — this guide is here to help you pick your power pieces.

Because here's the truth: lingerie isn’t just for them. It’s for you.

Let’s dive in

1. The Classic Panty & Bra Combo

Think matching bra and panty set. Maybe lace, maybe mesh, maybe both. You know her — she’s reliable, flattering, and just spicy enough to feel dangerous. Like you might accidentally step on someone’s neck.

Best for: All bodies, all vibes. A solid starter if you're easing into lingerie life or need a quick confidence boost.
Pro tip: Go for bold colors (hello, jewel tones) and neutrals or pastels if you want to look like an angel who maybe swears in traffic.

2. Bodysuits & Teddies = a one-way ticket to Damnville

These are your secret weapon. Spicy as hell. They hug curves, and make you feel like a snack wrapped in luxury gift wrap.

Best for: Embracing allll the rolls, dimples, and curves.
Pro tip: Deep V necklines = va-va-voom. Bonus if it snaps at the crotch (for logistics, not seduction)

3. Harnesses & Strappy Things

These pieces say: I know what I want. They're empowering, a little edgy, and they turn your body into abstract art. Strap placement can highlight your waist, shoulders, or booty — and some sets even double as outerwear if you’re that girl (and we support you).

Best for: Bold babes
Pro tip: Wear it over a mesh bodysuit or bra set if you’re nervous about baring skin. The layering creates texture 🔥

Brand: Solstice

4. Sheer Robes & Kimonos: The drama you deserve

These are your power capes. You wear them to glide across the room, dramatically toss them off, or sip champagne like you're auditioning for a villain role. Sheer fabrics keep it spicy, while the flow gives ✨energy✨

Best for: Lounging, layering, and pretending you’re in a perfume ad
Pro tip: Go long and sheer for glamour or cropped and feathery to live out your pin-up dreams

Brand: Fashion Nova
Why You'll Love It: All kinds of styles and ridiculously affordable!!

5. High-Waisted

High-waisted panties are a GIFT from the lingerie gods. They snatch the waist and turn your session into a retro bombshell moment.

Best for: Literally everyone. We love a high waist.
Pro tip: Pair with a longline bra or bralette!

6. Nothing at all. You are the gift.

Let’s be honest: sometimes the sexiest thing you can wear is your birthday suit and a grin. You don’t need lingerie to make an impact.

Best for: Every Body!!
Pro tip: Want a lil coverage? Try some a sheet, some sheer fabric, or just a confident pose. Minimalism can be maximum cool.

7. Wear whatever you want!

Bring a t-shirt, a cutie outfit you put together, or a statement piece you thrifted. Whatever feels true-to-you and exciting.
