Chic Valentine’s Day Lingerie for Your Body Type

Spice up your Valentine’s Day with lingerie picks and tips for different body types from Laura Mehlinger, designer of Lola Haze.

Boyish/Thin:

“Elegance and sophistication are key moods to enhance your slender form.  Rich colors, drapey silk…think Grace Kelley,” says Mehlinger.

• LM: A long gown is a gorgeous way to play up your graceful shape.  Check out the Maria Gown by Lola Haze in Gunmetal silk with black lace insets, $159.00. This bias cut silk charmeuse gem recalls glamour girls of the past, but with modern details like the chartreuse cross straps, it expresses your modern, bold side too.

• LM: One of the benefits of having a small bustline is being able to wear a chic soft bra. Try BRULEE’s silk Vamp Soft Bra in Fuchsia, $118.00. These unlined bralettes are perfect to wear during the day (even let peek through a blouse) or lounging at home.

Curvy:

“Flaunt your assets this Valentine’s!  This is your day to celebrate your curves and unveil the bombshell that you are,” says Mehlinger.

• LM: The Drape Me in Silk Chemise, $149.00, by Lola Haze defines your waist with a black elastic belt and gold ring charm.  The silk chiffon draped sexily over your bust and hips keeps certain parts modest while letting the true you show through.

• LM: Flatter, not flatten, your curves in a pin-up worthy, cut-and-sewn bodysuit with built-in shaping panels like Va Bien’s Classic Soft Cup Bodysuit #1291 in Black, $51.00.

Tall:

“Draw some well-deserved attention to those long legs. Your statuesque proportions are strong and powerful, so make some bold lingerie choices to play up your feminine strength,” says Mehlinger.

• LM: The Embrace Teddy, $89.00, by Lola Haze is an entrancing little secret to wear under your clothes.  Leave just a little peaking out of a low cut or sheer top, or wear solo to truly amaze.

• LM: A sexy, casual cami and panty set will make you feel celebrated and gorgeous.  Throw out your threadbare cotton briefs and slip into the functional but fashionable Signature Cami and Cross Hipster, sold separately, $68.00 for set, by Lola Haze in Black or Petal Pink. Made with stretch mesh with metallic mesh detail.

Pear-Shaped:

“Balance out your feminine shape by drawing attention up toward your sexy decolletage and gorgeous eyes,” says Mehlinger.

• LM: The Gift Me Slip in Black, $129.00, by Lola Haze, is graceful asymmetrical silk sash over the bust brings attention upward where attention is due.  Slip is stretch black lace to minimize, flatter your hips, and show a sexy little bit of you.

• LM: Even out a bottom heavy frame with a push-up bra to lift your assets. Try Affinitas Intimates‘ Jasmin Push Up Bra in Red, $32.00.
