You may have watched this month's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show with an ice cream spoon in your hand and an envious glare on your face, but if truth be told, it doesn't require a Marisa Miller body to enjoy sexy lingerie. So why not consider gifting some super-cute skivvies to the ladies on your list this year? Since we spend so much time covered up (after all, there are too many cute trends this season that require actual clothing), undies are often overlooked when it comes to gift-giving... but if you ask me, they're totally underrated in the realm of presents! Beyond the hassle of guesstimating sizes, you really can't go wrong with cute undies, a matching two-piece set, or even a slinky cami -- it's like gifting instant confidence and granting the recipient freedom from those hellish lines at VS. Whether you're looking for a luxe lingerie set or just a cheeky stocking stuffer, lingerie gifts are they way to go for the ladies you're close to... just maybe not your boss, unless you're trying to be awkward. Check the slideshow for the full sultry selection -- both naughty and nice!
Revamp Your Top Drawer With Retro Lingerie!

If the idea of retro lingerie makes you think of dreadful terms like "foundations" or worse, girdles, keep reading. Lacy little things have their place in many a top drawer, but retro lingerie, with a little more fabric and function, is just as alluring. Think along the lines of high-waisted panties and boyshorts, longline bras, tap shorts, and feminine ruffles- fun, right? The simpler shapes and modest cuts convey an innocence lost in the heaps of skimpy lace found in most stores these days, and even if you're far from innocent, it's fun to play the part every once in awhile. For a retro twist on a modern favorite, try Hanky Panky's hi-rise panty- it's perfect for high waisted jeans and skirts. Betsey Johnson's cami and tap pant set is a sweet take on this throwback trend, and if pale pink and ribbons are your thing, you'll love the charming 'Amelie' bralette from Undrest. Sure, these don't exactly agree with your SO's unofficial "less is more" mantra, but this was never really about them, was it? See the slideshow for my favorite retro underthings.
