Lace Thongs
Hanky Panky is probably the most popular brand of thongs around—and once you try one a pair, you'll understand why. The quality and comfort level are unparalleled. They're a great wear-anywhere panty by day, and by night, with just a slim T-shirt, a super-sexy PJ option.

Push-up Plunge Bra
All of us (some more than others) need a good push-up bra. It's a must-have accessory for making shirts and dresses fit and look better. This one, by Chantelle Intimates, is great for smaller-chested women. Remember: Cleavage is sexy, and your girls deserve a chance to shine every once in awhile!

Vanishing Edge Panties
Avoiding the panty line is one of the very basic tenets of fashion. If you're wearing slacks or a fitted skirt, a thong or pair of very thin panties is a necessity. These ones have patented technology with breathable stay-put silicone for a no-show look and a no-ride fit.

Cloud Swing Bra & Briefs
From Elle Macpherson's collection, this playful set can be worn under just about anything … and will instantly make you feel sexier. (Funny how a matching set can do that.) This one, with an innocent girl-next-door look, is perfect for the mom who's a little shy about embracing her sexuality.

T-Shirt Bra
Every woman needs a great T-shirt bra, and a little underwire or push-up action is best for giving some definition (and, if you're wearing a V-neck, you'll probably want a little cleavage). T-shirt bras don’t have to be always be totally plain—the fun lace detail on this one, by Wacoal, adds a whimsical touch to an otherwise basic-looking bra.
To buy: Bare Necessities, $57
Shaping Thong
These Skinnygirl panties are the ultimate triple threat. Not only are they sexy and sophisticated, but they also help hold things in place. The high waist is perfect for women who need a little belly support but don't want to feel constricted … and in back, the thong prevents any granny panty feelings.
To buy: Bare Necessities, $22
Wireless Bra
If you'd rather go braless than wear an underwire, this barely-there bra is for you. It's great for day-to-day wear, yet still stylish (with a hint of sexy). The wine color is great for fall, and the polka dot and lace details will certainly buoy your mood.
To buy: Gap, $36
