The small gestures promise to make Valentine’s Day memorable for you and your special someone. Sure, dinner at the best restaurant in town and tickets to the city’s hottest show are great. But surprising your S.O. with Valentine’s lingerie that makes you feel beautiful sets the tone for an evening to remember.
Here are eight fabulous picks for Valentine’s lingerie — all of them are priced below $50.
Oh, and guys, if you’re reading this: Maybe let her pick out her own intimates. It’s a safer bet for you to focus on more traditional Valentine’s Day gifts for her.
1. The bodysuit
The lace bodysuit is perfect if you’re feeling adventurous and want to branch out of your comfort zone. This silhouette can be aggressively sexy or a touch sweeter. To soften the look, opt for babydoll waistlines, satin details, and white or pastel palettes. Full lace and strappy details will deliver a bolder vibe.
This number from Boohoo is 38% off currently, so it’ll only set you back $20. That’s right — $20. Choose from red or blue.
2. The nightie
If you favor more coverage, a chemise nightie might be the right choice. You have many options in this silhouette, but a body-skimming lace or satin number is a nice choice. It’ll achieve that perfect V-day blend of sweet and sexy, especially if you choose a soft, feminine color.

This budget-friendly nightie has a glamorous feel that’s just irresistible. You could pair it with doe-eyed eyeliner and channel your inner starlet. You might even add a pair of sheer seamless panties.
3. The shorts set
No products found.
The set offers a different kind of sex appeal, with a satiny touch and well-placed lace. It’s also easy to put on, wear, and take off.
4. The sexy robe
No products found.
Everyone should have at least one sexy robe in her wardrobe. It provides you with more options than you might think — you can slip it on over a contrasting nightgown or wear it with nothing underneath if you want to surprise your significant other on date night.
This $20 piece from Rslove could bring a new level of excitement to your V-Day celebrations. Sheer and red together scream sexpot, but the bow at the waist and the lace trim deliver some softness, too.
5. Sexy separates
If your Valentine’s Day date night starts with you wearing a slinky dress that’s later tossed on the floor, you might prefer a set of sexy separates. The right pieces will be sexy enough that you can skip the interruption of “slipping into something more comfortable.”
You can pick up this stylish high-waisted panty for $39 at Popilish. It features elastic mesh for built-in compression, a thong backside, and pretty lace detail.
6. Long nightgown
Another classic choice is the long, sheer nightie.
Here’s a head-turning piece from Venus. A babydoll top edged with lace adds some femininity to an otherwise racy set of details — keyhole at the chest, sheer skirt and very high leg slits. Oh, and this slip comes with a matching thong panty.
7. The garter set
If you’re looking for maximum sex appeal, a garter set never disappoints. This ensemble is sold as a set from Nastygal, and it’s currently on sale for $32.80. You can’t go wrong here, with the floating roses atop a sheer white base, the dainty ruffle, and pretty panty. There are a lot of straps to manage here, but you could always ask for help…
8. Latex
Looking for something different this year? Try channeling your inner cat woman with a latex chemise.
You could wear this chemise with black heels to serve a romantic dinner for two — and then see where the evening takes you.
Where to buy your Valentine’s lingerie this year
If these pieces don’t quite suit your fancy, there are plenty more out there with very affordable price points. Here are some places to shop.
Boohoo
If you’re after thongs, push-up bras, and garters, Boohoo is where it’s at. Super sexy and super affordable. What could be better?
Nastygal
Despite the name, Nastygal has a more subdued collection of intimates vs. Boohoo. You’ll still find sexy sets, but also more wearable options.
Nordstrom rack
Nordstrom Rack has fewer bodysuits but plenty of sexy panties and bras. And, as you expect, they’re priced affordably.
Target
For pretty PJs, short sets, and lace-embellished nighties for less than $30, shop Target.
Amazon
Amazon, the seller of all things, has loads of Valentine’s lingerie at all price points. And you can find any style you like, from sweet to downright raunchy.
Venus
Venus has a nice selection of sleepwear, plus an entire category dedicated to sexy lingerie. The sexy collection is bold, but stops short of being raunchy (and I can’t say the same for Nastygal).
