18 Sheer Lingerie Sets That Are Perfect For Valentine’s Day (Or Any Time, Really)

You can buy yourself sexy lingerie any day of the year if you please. The arrival of Valentine's Day simply acts as a nice reminder that the sports bra you wear on the regular could use a little break. That said, the over-saturation of lacy bralettes, chemises, crotchless panties, and more cheeky items can sometimes feel a bit "been there, done that," which is why this year, we're gifting ourselves something a bit more out there in the underwear department: Sheer lingerie.

Whether you're planning on wearing them solely for yourself, or want to, instead, use them to dress up for your S.O., see-through bras and panties are a fun and sexy way of showing off your assets. And, as an added bonus, they're not Valentine's Day specific, so you can wear them 365 days a year, or whenever you feel like spicing things up.

So without further ado, make this Valentine's Day a moment to celebrate what you've got (and how much you love it) with one of the 18 lace and mesh lingerie looks ahead.

Miley Cyrus Took A Cue From Harry Styles For Her Super Bowl Look

On Sunday, Miley Cyrus joined Billy Idol for TikTok’s Tailgate Super Bowl pregame live stream, where the duo performed hits including Blondie’s “Heart of Glass” and Idol’s “White Wedding.” For the occasion, Cyrus debuted a number of eye-catching looks, including a hot pink-and-black cheerleading uniform and a matching jersey, which she wore with football-esque pants. But, while her onstage looks were fitting for the sports occasion, it’s the one she wore before the show — to rehearse for the performance — that really caught our eye. Why? Because Harry Styles wore nearly the exact same outfit a few months ago. 

While rehearsing, Cyrus offered a more subtle take on the football theme, wearing a Kermit green football jersey with denim cutoffs. The sporty ensemble was from Gucci’s Ouverture collection, which premiered at the part-film festival, part-new collection showcase, Guccifest, in November. The collection was released in the form of a seven-part miniseries, starring celebrities like Florence Welch, Billie Eilish, and Styles. The “Golden” singer appeared in a pink jersey and cutoffs during episode three of the miniseries. 

While Cyrus’ jersey was green and Styles’ baby pink, both featured the year 1921 on it — when Gucci was founded — as well as the number 28 — the brand’s creative director Alessandro Michele’s lucky number. The only difference between the two looks were their choices of footwear, with Styles taking a preppier approach in crew socks and a pair of loafers, and Cyrus appearing in more stage-worthy knee-high, buckle-detail boots.

Cyrus wasn’t the only performer from Super Bowl Sunday who showed up in fashion form. The show started with a performance by H.E.R., who sang “America The Beautiful” in a custom denim-and-leather look by Stinson Haus, an atelier by costume and fashion designer Brea Stinson. According to the “Damage” singer’s stylist, Wouri Vice, the look was meant to send a message of peace, equality, and love, with the back of her jacket having the latter two words embroidered on it. 

Jazmine Sullivan also performed at the game, singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” alongside country music star Eric Church. For the duet, Sullivan chose a crystal-covered white suit from New York-based label Area. With the suit, she donned a crystal headpiece, one of the brand’s signature accessories. Like Cyrus, her look for rehearsal may have been even better than the one worn for the main event: The “Lost One” singer paid tribute to the late Whitney Houston, according to Harper’s Bazaar, wearing a white tracksuit not unlike the one Houston wore when she herself rehearsed for the Super Bowl back in 1991. (Like this year, the 1991 Super Bowl took place in Tampa Bay, Florida.) 

And, of course, there was Amanda Gorman, the first-ever Super Bowl poet, who chose a light blue coat with crystal detailing from Moschino’s spring ‘21 collection for her powerful performance. Atop her head was her now-signature headband — this time made of pearls. In 2021 alone, the National Youth Poet Laureate has worn a red, padded headband from Prada at the Inauguration; a yellow, crystal-covered headband for her virtual appearance on The Ellen Show; and a gold, crown-like headband for her recent Time cover.

With looks this good, the real Super Bowl winner, in our eyes, was the fashion featured. Oh, and the memes of The Weeknd’s halftime show.

Your 2021 Style Horoscope — & The One Thing You Should Buy For Your Sign

If there's one thing we can say about style in 2021 so far, it's that anything goes — and why shouldn't it, if it's just you, day after day, on the divan? But even with this chaotic/laissez-faire energy in the air, you're still the captain of your own destiny, especially if you've got a sneak peek of what's to come.

To give us a leg up in at least one area of our lives, we tapped astrologer Adama Sesay of Lilith Astrology to interpret how the cosmos will affect each sign's personal style this year. Will you be bossing up at work (with C-suite-appropriate accessories to match)? Or will romance win the day (hello, flirty babydoll top)? Whatever's written in this chapter of your personal master plan, Pay in 4 from PayPal* gives you an all-new, ultra-flexible way to break your purchases into smaller, easy-to-manage amounts, so you can shop based on the stars' recommendations now and pay later.

Aries

"[This] is the year you evolve and shift your vision and goals for the future," Sesay says. To suit the entrepreneurial vibe? A curvy leather cardholder to represent the fortuitous connections you'll make that could help you on your path.
Taurus

Expect change and growth in your career, possibly in ways you've never imagined. Update that résumé tout de suite, and, to keep track of your professional appointments in style, invest in a smart watch with tech-y features to spare. (Pro tip: Use Pay in 4 from PayPal so you can enjoy your timepiece now and pay for it later.)
Gemini

"Amplifying your voice on a broader level is a theme for Gemini this year," Sesay says. So get loud with a pin-worthy floral brocade blazer — the better to wear while attending a webinar that suddenly inspires you to dedicate your life studying, say, lobster aerodynamics.
Cancer

On the horizon for you, Cancer? New acquaintances who can see your unique perspective and want to invest in you. With that kind of support on the way, you can afford to loosen up with wide-cut trousers in a mellow printed mohair.
Leo

The hustle never sleeps, and in 2021, your career could take a turn, "aligning you with a significant working relationship," Sesay says. Reward yourself once you network your way to that new gig with a roomy metallic tote that also satisfies your look-at-me tendencies (no shade).
Virgo

Prepare for a shake-up in your day-to-day health routine and work schedule as you prioritize self-care. The best companion on your afternoon strolls? Stealth streetwear, ideal for a sign that prefers to move in silence.
Libra

"The universe is asking for you to tap into your creative power and express yourself in an authentic way," Sesay says. A beribboned, shirred top could be just the thing to communicate to the world that, yes, your Venus-ruled sign is #aesthetic.
Scorpio

You'll have to sort out the logistics, but moving or changing homes could be in the cards for you this year. A change in location usually means shifts in your close relationships as well, so keep the homies close with a stack of adult friendship bracelets. 
Sagittarius

Simplify, simplify, simplify — especially with your work life kicking into high gear this year. Balance the professional frenzy by paring down your 'fits, like this razor-sharp minimalist suit that will come in handy when you book an online lecture series.
Capricorn

Home is...where the money is. This year, your side hustle might become your main source of income — or you may start Cap Corp Unlimited from your apartment. Burn the midnight oil in a plush robe that you can also wear when you reap the rewards of your labor. (For some immediate gratification — rare for you, we know — use Pay in 4 from PayPal at checkout to get cozy now as you pay later.)
Aquarius

It's the Age of You, and you should 100% own your uniqueness. "In the past you may have shied away from letting your freak flag fly," Sesay says, "but this is your year to release anyone else's judgements of you." A psychedelic-print tee captures your freewheeling spirit (and how lit it was the last time your eponymous time came round).
Pisces

"As a sign ruling all things ethereal and otherworldly, this is a year where you can tap into this power on a deeper level," Sesay says. Treat yourself like the queen you are — and bring out your inner wisdom at the same time — with a fantasy buy, like this tulle confection of a frock.
