    7 Tips for Looking Hot in Lingerie

    Planning on slipping into something sexy this Valentine's Day? We've got tips from lingerie-expert Jene Luciani on what to buy and how to look good in it.

    1. Color Counts

    "You can never go wrong with black. Men think it's very sexy, and it's slimming for a lot of women," says Luciani. "Avoid white. It's really reserved for the wedding night, but it's generally not super sexy and can be an unflattering color on a lot of skin tones."

    2. Red Hot

    "As a rule, guys tend to like the sexy, red, lacy, Fredrick's of Hollywood lingerie. It's often different from what women tend to go for, which is usually something really girly and feminine like the blush pinky babydoll set," explains Luciani.

    3. Think Sexy

    When you're caught between racy styles and romantic frills, think about what that guy you dated in high school would've drooled over. Un-shockingly, males prefer the traditionally sexy stuff over anything too trendy or fashion-forward. "Men just go for sexy."

    4. What to Wear Out

    Lingerie newbies are forgiven for being bewildered at how to actually wear all the pieces they're presented with. Half of them would never fit sleekly under clothes, and pronouncing you need to go change as soon as you get home from a date feels, well, unsexy.

    5. Date Night Duds

    As a go-to date night look, Luciani suggests wearing a matching push-up bra, panties, and garter belt with thigh-highs under your LBD. "That's always what you see in the movies when the woman undresses!"

    6. Undercover Agent

    Want to go bigger? She suggests trying a corset (but skip the mask like this chick). "Wear one under a dress or with jeans and a blazer so the corset looks kind of like a top. Get home and peel off everything except for the corset!"


    7. On Yonder Balcony

    And what to do if a push-up doesn't flatter your bod? Try a balconette bra which pushes breasts in and up, or a plunge style that can create gorgeous cleavage. "Bottom line, your breasts should look like two separate lumps, not like they've been pushed into one mass." The bra doctor's spoken!

      Red is so cliche. I like my wife in purple, dark green, and blue!
    • Mr LOL  •  3 months ago

      The best way to look sexy in lingerie, is to wear pieces that are flattering. That can be a bit hard, especially if you have smallish breasts. Also, drinking a helathy dose of water and cutting down on sodium and eating healthier a week or two before V'day will help you look and feel sexier.

        Actually, I used to be an A-cup (birth control helped me out with that one!) and I found some sexy pieces that fit. Although I had no one to share them with, I felt sexy and that's all that matters to me.
      • Maggie 3 months ago
        sure, there are some out there, but most is geared towards women with bigger chests. You can barely find A cup bras at Victoria's secret!

      I like very vibrant colors when choosing lingerie. I also think it's important to play up your assets. Although, for me lingerie is for special occasions...no need to go all fancy every night lol.

        Agreed. Nice and sexy lingerie are nice surprises, but if worn all the time can become ho-hum. We humans are silly creatures who tend to get used to anything if exposed all the time.

      If you don't look good naked, then how do you expect to look good in lingerie?

      I have no idea where we would be if the opposite gender of men didn't exist for a life time. this is beyond my imagination to see where life would be and what it would be like if women did not play a significant role is society, in life, in the lives of men, imagine that! Well, they do, and as long as they do exist, there is nothing more extraordinary than a womens touch, sweet coffee, sweet sugar, without touching them, my mom, she is a women, and mom brought me into this world, and she did her best to raise me with what she knew, and I am far from perfect, my mom is the most perfect individual on the face of this planet, this goes for other women who become moms, or not, whatever the case may happen to be, women are women, men are men, we each are members of life, and need I say more? No, I think that is fair.

      The best way to look good in lingerie, or ANY form of clothing is to have a committed routine around fitness and eating well. Everything looks great on a fit physique...
    • George Jetson  •  3 months ago
      lingerie is nice but I've never been with a woman I did'nt look good on.
      you can put that in your smoke and pipe it.
    • Maurice  •  Sacramento, California  •  3 months ago
      I don't agree with the color part! I've worked in lingerie retail for many years, White is the all time favourite! and it is flattering on almost all skin tones!

      a thought, certainly, time, and time is life, a short duration with a brief life span, somehow today is here, tomorrow will be here, and from there on, time is time, time is the lever, and with it comes the circumference, the crucible, and the pendullem.
    • Luis Rodriguez  •  Buena Park, California  •  3 months ago
      A final thought, but no matter, I know there are a considerate amount of people who wrestle with their consciences, as for myself, do I have a conscience? Yes, I am not dangerous, and I have not done the unforgivable sin, but do I have a conscience? I dare believe I do, and I tend not to concern what others think of you or me, but the haters will not always be, one day a few of them will get a grip and understand that hey, we are all human, people laugh, get upset or mad, we each encounter grief in one setting or another, and the only thig that each of us will gradually confrond is heaven or hell, meet the baker or the maker, no one is perfect and love is love for money, love for the honey, or love can get seriously funny, I'm no dummy, I've been running from the haters who have to put someone down for the weakest flaw that carries dead weight, but any man or woman, can run, only for a spin in time, I ran, oh I ran, from fear of myself, knowing the all unknowing, spare me, when I meet the day before the day of my ending this life, the thing that there are many more like me than I cared to consider or think of, no one is perfect, neither I, nor me, yesterday is gone forever, everybody carries secrets to their graves, without commitment or determination, secrets are hidden, and carefully guarded, and why? Because my secret is open without a can of worms or opening up Pandora's box, and I do not mock God, but if he made a man for a woman, okay, I do not just love, I am gay, and to be gay is so, you be you, and I am who I am without you pointing the finger at the imperfections of human fate.

      The interesting thing about life is how mom has so much to do with those of us in the facts of life, mom and dad, men with men, women with women, the first time, oh, I am getting off the point here, I am destined to write something that works, and it is coming to me, quicker now than before, and by writing this, I am on this path, it is fate, and it will be strictly mature and adult content. Life in interesting if you can write, I know I have been destined to do what I am doing at this very point in time, and I have written things that some people found, by critique per critique, stunning, shocking, a purely honest, and I will do this, because, I am gay, and in my circles of life, I stuck to my guns, I'd run, I'd duck for cover, and I always denied this, and it was disgusting and it was that I have been affraid to view a gay man as normal, "oh, poor me, I could never be a homosexual!" Yeh, sure, I love and I have loved more women and had my girlfriends, and friends, but through my personal observations, women work for men, men work for women, whatever makes each individual tick, so, if I run from how I grew up in this world, I skip a beat, I lose, I know, but gay love and lesbian is a fact of life, there are no saints, the world is the world, and I am a worldy individual, I have nothing to indicate that I am dangerous, but if need be, I will do what I do, I do not abide to lies, I cultivate my appreciation for law and order and the tall order which, dictates to me, that just because I am gay does not mean that I do not date women, yes, I know, how could that be,,,,,,to be continued.

      Here is my comment! Love is unique to each individual, and love is love however you lerarn upon it emotiolly. We each grow up a unique culture of our family structure, love, but I love, oh yes I do, but I have denied it for far too long, for many many lost years as a matter of fact, but somehow I find certain things, certain individuals as beings I enjoy associating with, yes, I know there are various people who read what they read, but from this vantage point, I have failed to identify my love, emotionally, and human warmth stemming from the touch of love, my love, and love is strange yet it is beautiful and I love, I deny, I love certain men, who have played a large, a very large part of my love, being able to be with them on an entire personal love, about how love works with us, I love women, but in a far different way, respect, and I know what makes me tick in love, in intense nuerological and sensual and intellectual refief, and, there are many men and women who deny love, how love will apply itself in the darkest hours that come to live, and women are wonderfully beautiful, but so are some very precious men, who will laught as I preclude adult content, as for myself, I am a writer, therefore, this is why I write how I write, and, this offends some folks, but there are those who appreciate honesty without God looking down on me telling me I am sinful, so be it. I take my stand, and I will be who and what I am, why, because I learned love as I view love, love is a vast array of things from the love of a gun, to the love of your wife, or girlfriend, but when gay people work with their individuality, it can be diffult if not complex, gay issues are how some people look at others as if those complainers don't have sin, so be it, many people know me, I now admit it discreetly, going to bed with someone is better than going to bed alone and cold, and if those people cannot, those whoever you are, accept love for themselves, okay, but I made this comment to provoke whoever thinks love is love from god, from there, go figure out the negative, and remember, however love works for who you are, I may not agree with you, but, all the same, I will respect you, and keep it quiet, more people throughout my life know of my sexual preference and my sexual identity, and I know I have been on this destination to look the eye in the storm, and guess what, love is love and i f it is sinful and strange and wrong, so it comes in strange and emotionally colorful arrays from the black to the white, and I am finally coming to terms with this once and for all, thank you, and love is god or love is whatever you are, without breaking the law.

        Althought I find your multiple comments true & interesting, I have to ask why you felt the need to post them under an article about lingerie.
