Sexy underwear comes in a whole array of colours, from look-at-me red to bridal white - but really, is there anything sexier (and more practical!) than black lingerie?
Black lingerie is basically the timeless LBD of your intimates collection, and it turns out LBL (little black lingerie, of course) is considered the sexiest choice in the UK.
It was voted top in a survey by lingerie specialists Boux Avenue, with 31% of UK adults aged 18-45 choosing black as the sexiest colour. It's also the most popular shade for the brand, with a black lingerie set sold every two minutes, pipping red lingerie to the number one spot.
So we've created an edit of the sexiest black lingerie sets, with both luxury looks and high street options. From classic silk and lace to mesh and sheer fabrics, we're sure you'll find something you love.
