Lingerie is often mentioned in tandem with Valentine’s Day, but the truth is we don’t need to wait for an excuse to wear something beautiful. Special moments, of course, make it fun to put in a little extra effort. But we’re of the opinion that every day is an occasion for sexy, simple lingerie.

We’re firm believers in not waiting to bust out the pretty stuff. On top of that, we need lingerie to be more than just sexy. Sure, the lacy factor is fun, but the restricting cuts and itchiness are not. Anyone else find that they actually use their lingerie when it fits well and is minimal enough to wear under an everyday outfit? Give us lingerie that’s chic, elegant, and comfortable too, please.

With that in mind, we’ve rounded up the prettiest lingerie sets that don’t scream Valentine’s Day, in a good way. There’s some lace, of course, but the pieces below are sexy enough to feel special, while being comfortable enough that you’ll actually be excited to wear them again.

Whether you’re looking for something to freshen up your lingerie drawer in time for the holiday or throwing a tee over your skivvies before hopping on a virtual girl’s wine night, these bra and undie sets (and a bodysuit or two!) from our favorite lingerie brands have got you covered.
