It doesn’t matter whether you wear lingerie for yourself, a partner (or partners! Do you, boo.) or everyone who watches your OnlyFans page—there’s just something about the act of wearing lingerie that can make us feel sexier than when we wear anything else. And while certain styles of lingerie are classics that never go out of style, there are also plenty of lingerie trends each and every year of which to be aware.

It’s likely that whoever sees you in lingerie won’t care whether or not the piece is on-trend—they probably have other things on their mind, hehe—but staying on top of trends is, quite frankly, fun. So buckle up, lingerie-lovers, because there are some seriously sexy looks to rock in 2022. There are also tons of affordable options to help turn things up a notch.

In general, lingerie already comes in myriad forms. The lacy bra that you wear every single day because it gives you confidence? That’s lingerie. The sexy bodysuit that you often pair with jeans for a cool going-out look? That’s lingerie, too. The strappy babydoll you save for special occasions? Lingerie, baby. Basically, if it makes you feel confident and sexy, consider it lingerie. With that in mind, it makes sense that there are so many different lingerie options out there—from all different types of brands. Subtle, over-the-top, barely-there: You name it.

Of course, whenever we’re shopping, it’s nice to know which styles and pieces are currently trending. Should we start bedazzling our bras? Is cottagecore a vibe in the bedroom or just on Bridgerton? Should we stock up on lacy looks or opt for something simpler?

Read on for answers to all of your lingering lingerie questions and shop the hottest styles of 2022.

A little sparkle can go a long way. Crystal or pearl detailing adds delicate structure to lingerie and is a great way to draw the eye toward your favorite assets. Think of embellishments as highlighter, but for your body instead of your cheekbones.

String of Pearls Garter Belt

This garter belt is farthest thing from your grandmother’s pearls. You’ll be stringing your love interest right along with this flirty accessory. Pair it with a simple black bra and underwear set and let the pearls be the statement.

Satin & Lace Embellished Cupped Mini Slip

Satin and sparkle on a slip dress? Say no more! This little slip is super romantic and gives major “dancing round the kitchen in the refrigerator light” vibes—with a happier, sexier ending, of course.

If you’re new to lingerie or just want to achieve the effortlessly sexy look, the laid-back, all-over lace trend is a perfect one to try. Classic lace isn’t only expected to be a lingerie trend in 2022, but a daily wear trend as well. It’s suggestive while still leaving just a little to the imagination.

Reign Plus

This cherry red lace number will leave you looking (and feeling) fine in all nine color options. The contrasting cotton and lace is business in the front and party in the back. It comes in a full size range (XS-4X).

Lace V Underwire Basque & Thong Lingerie Set

This black lace one piece will leave your lucky partner (or mirror) speechless. The thong’s high thigh cut underneath will help to accentuate your curves and legs.

A completely see-through or sheer mesh bodysuit acts as a stencil that your silhouette can fill in. You’re technically fully covered, and yet you’re wearing almost nothing at all. Juxtaposition is hot! If you’re headed out on the town, throw a lace bra on underneath and save the sheer surprise for later in the evening.

Glissenette Crew Neck Bodysuit

At first glance, this glistening SKIMS bodysuit might look like a regular piece from the brand’s collection—until you realize that it is completely see-through. When I say relationships thrive on transparency, this is what I mean.

Medusa Bodysuit

This sheer bodysuit with conveniently placed snakes by Thistle and Spire is just the piece to impress your sneaky link. Sexy, sheer and edgy—that’s the lingerie trifecta in my book.

Cottage core is all about delicate, girly details like ribbon, embroidery and lace. It has brought about the resurgence of corsets, floral detailing and an aura of carefree innocence. Does carefree innocence belong in the bedroom? Probably not; but the whimsical lingerie styles certainly do.

Daphne Embroidered Bustier

The corset strings on this floral number are made to be untied by a lover or booty call. Channel your inner Bridgerton fantasies (Yes, I mean that scene) and you’re sure to feel like royalty.

Lace’d Up Strappy Cami

This two-toned corset can be slipped on like a cami but has the corset-effect with gold hardware and satin ribbon. Whether you’re trying to frolic or…well you can guess what the other F word is…this one’s for you.
