The Sexiest High Waisted Undies To Sport For V-Day

Christian Dior once said "Real elegance is everywhere. Especially in the things that don't show," and I have a feeling he was talking about lingerie. These days, I'm totally feeling high waisted underwear, not only because new iterations have turned them from granny to sexy, but also because they're so damn comfortable. I'm always down for pieces that feel both comfy and look chic, too.

I'm definitely guilty of once thinking "blah" when it came to high waisted panties. But with the rise of granny style — I'm talking cardigans, clogs, vintage brooches, and even grey hair — this particular piece of lingerie began piquing my interest. I mean, I wear mom jeans and high waisted skirts and shorts anyway. Why not make the full transition?

In an effort to "adult" even further (I mean, isn't having a 401k enough?), I've been adding a few staple pieces into my wardrobe. These include a nice camel coat that I definitely won't be leaving at a bar, a nice bucket bag to tote around for work and the weekend, and a few pairs of black trousers that will definitely last more than a few seasons. In short, I've been investing in quality, rather than quantity. But aside from grabbing those staples, the fashion item I've picked up that's made me feel most "grown woman" is a solid set of lingerie.

What better way to join the revolution than Valentine's Day? Maybe a little dinner, a little dancing, a little lingerie? Eh, eh? Whether you've got someone special to spend it with, hanging out with your girlfriends, or spending it alone, there's nothing wrong with adding a little sexiness here and there.
