According to Chinese customs and legends, red symbolises good fortune and good luck. Wearing red is thought to ward off bad luck for the year ahead. But if you aren’t keen on looking like a walking red packet, perhaps consider a pair of red lingerie underneath.
Even if you aren’t superstitious, who wouldn’t want extra good luck by wearing red as many days as you can? Moreover, we’ve picked seductive yet still tasteful styles that are perfect for the upcoming Valentine’s Day as you celebrate your love with a little fun.
From local lingerie brand Perk by Kate, this burgundy bralette is designed with scalloped lace detailing and an underwire construction for added support. It also has removable paddings too, which guarantees more coverage.
To add, the straps are convertible into three ways: Straight spaghetti straps, halter or cross-back, so you can adjust it to fit any dress. The coordinating bikini it comes with features a pretty and intricate lace design.
From pretty intimates to wear with a backless dress to sultry ones for the bedroom, Ashley Summer Co. has them all. Its handmade pieces offer quality and comfort, too. And this one in a stunning burgundy shade is designed with a push-up cut that gives you extra lift without uncomfortable underwires.
We adore the playful straps that add a little oomph to spice things up as well.
If you’re after a less subtle shade of red, consider this pomegranate-hued piece that’s festive and sexy without being glaringly loud.
This style is the brand’s most popular one yet, with cups that are lined with its signature cooling and quick-drying lycra blend, as well as removable padding. The underbust band offers extra support.
Featuring a low V-neck and exquisite floral-embroidered lace, La Perla’s soft bralette comes with a matching thong that embodies all the sensual femininity you’d want in lingerie.
Another pro of wearing a soft bra: It doesn’t leave those underwire indentations on your skin or poke and pinch at your underboob all day long. Style this under a dress that’s not too tight or one that’s crafted from sturdy fabric, as you’ll want to avoid having the lacy texture peeking through underneath.
Homegrown brand Chalone has some of the most sensual lingerie and nightwear, and this stunning slip is a testament to that. It comes with delicate lace, as well as cups that showcase slivers of skin and leave little to the imagination — a definite mood-setter.
There’s a matching lace g-string included that’ll complete your look, too.
If extra support is what you’re after, consider this wired push up bra that’s prettied up with floral lace. Extra high side panels on its Butterfly push-up bra design provide maximum support and a secure fit.
A bestseller from Riri’s lingerie brand, Savage X Fenty, this balconette bra comes in a striking red lace fabric that also sports cute heart-shaped ‘Love’ motifs as well as a charm at the centre. In an ultra-soft fabric, the balconette neckline accentuates and flatters curves.
We all need a versatile strapless bra that fits well and has good support. This best-seller from I’m In in bright fire engine red comes with a smooth fabric that won’t show up beneath a fitted outfit, as well as super push up padding to enhance curves. It also comes with removable straps.
Free People’s aesthetic veers towards boho and vintage elements, and if you’re in the market for something a little more unconventional, this pretty piece gets our thumbs up.
Crafted with intricately woven floral lace patterns, the crimson lace bralette has a sexy V neckline and elegant capped sleeves. According to the brand, it offers light support for most A to C cup sizes.
This sweet full coverage bralette with triangular cups gets a sultry spin with a deep plum hue. To match, there’s the mid-waist lace Cheeky bottom.
