Sexy Summer Lingerie and Swimwear

We haven't featured gorgeous lingerie in quite some time, and I've been hunting out some of the best styles to show off! For summer, your best bet is to go with the lightweight lace confections or the softer satins, because they'll be fun to wear and very easy to pull off. Be sure to grab a pair of ribbon-festoonedboyshorts if you're feeling saucy!

Pieces That Are a Must-Buy

String Bikinis on Discount

Victoria's Secret is one of the best places to find a good sale, and this year if no exception. Their swimwear starts at around $10 in clearance per piece, so you can get a quality bikini for around $20 if you'd like. Have a look on their website in their mega-sale, and see if something "suits" you. The clearance rack is seriously packed right now, so you'll probably be pleased!

Sweet Boyshorts

Boyshorts can be hard to pull off in the summer, but then again, with all those gusty days and seaside strolling, it's the best time to wear something with a little more coverage. Look for lace and mesh instead of heavyweight cotton and Spandex, which you'll probably find more comfortable and less stifling.

Convertible Bras

Tank tops and tube tops comprise a good deal of our wardrobes, but quite often, we simply can't seem to locate the right undergarment to make the look work. Find a bra that had detachable straps and a supportive lower band to fight the slip-downs, and try to find one in both the colors nude and black. If those aren't available, pink or brown, depending on your skin tone, could work.

Exciting Slips

Toss on a great little something (possibly with some hidden shaping powers?) to enjoy your little summer dresses a little bit more. Don't forget to try the "sheer check" when you are wearing your wonderful concoctions, because it's all too often that our favorite frocks turn out tp be more daring than planned! When in doubt, choose a dress with a busier pattern or a darker color to hide see-through issues.

Summer Shapewear

Stock up! If you are a daring shopper who'd looking for brief hot-weather looks, embrace the coolest styles like slim-strapped slips in stretchy power fabric or those greatwaspies that only deal with your waist, but don't leave you sweating it out all over. If you are from the UK, you might want to try Gok Wan's collection from Simply Be, one of my favorites.

Novelty Items

A little animal print never hurt anyone, did it? It's your turn to shine when you grab a patterned look, so shop away for the more daring looks if you'd like.
