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.

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.)
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)?
