How To Get Your Sexy Back In Los Angeles

This British lingerie outfit is synonymous with chic-yet-sexy lingerie—the chain was started by the son of designer Vivienne Westwood, so he knows a thing or two about fashion. The undies are sultry without being trashy, so if you’ve got a classy gentleman to impress this is the place to go. Unfortunately these panties do not come cheap.

This cheeky (pun intended!) Silver Lake boutique is dedicated to bras and underwear. Throw in the fact that the staff is both capable and friendly, and you will be well on your way to finding a set of super cute undergarments that don’t leave your bottom overly exposed (well, unless you want it to be). They offer a good selection of well-known (Cosabella, Hanky Panky) and not-so-well-known brands.

If it’s possible to have a refined sex shop, then Coco de Mer is it. Aside from having a selection of pretty, delicate lingerie, this shop has all kinds of “books” and "toys"—if you catch our drift. Plus, if you your partner turn panty shopping into a group activity, then you’ll get a kick out of the CDM dressing rooms—they have peepholes. Enough said.

If you’re not one for garters and corsets, then Only Hearts is the brand for you. This line of camis, undies, bras, and slips is sweet and subtly sexy, without being too racy. Most of the garments are made out of soft jersey, so you can feel comfortable AND desirable. And all without having to resort to neon thongs. Who’d have thought?!

This place may be called “trashy” but don’t be fooled! This place ain’t cheap. In fact, this store has a $2 “membership fee” to ensure that people who wander in are serious about their undergarments. They offer every kind of intimate apparel under the sun, so whether you’re a wannabe Playboy bunny or a Hanes addict who wants to try life on the wild side, you’re bound to find something here.

This adorable little shop is owned by a mother-daughter team, so it’s more classy than slutty—somehow we can’t imagine any mothers and daughters taking about crotchless panties. Anywho, this place specializes in European intimates, so you can rest assured that you will look tres chic, as opposed to tres smutty.

Footsie is a boutique clean-cut enough for your mom. When you get there the lovely sales people will measure you to ensure you are wearing the right bra size—and unlike the employees at VS they won’t be surly about it! The brands are high-quality, but don’t expect anything frilly and bright yellow, this place has more of a muted, chic aesthetic.

Polkadots & Moonbeams has two stores: one is for modern pieces and one for vintage. The vintage outlet offers some girly, frilly (and sometimes shear—ooh la la!) intimates. But don’t worry, the undies here aren’t vintage (that would be gross).

If you’re a little bit rock and roll, Come To Mama is a good place to get your unmentionables. The vintage lingerie is retro enough to make you look cool AND sexy at the same time! Plus there are tie-dyed corsets and slips for when you feel the time is right for your inner hippie to get frisky.

If you’re not sure what you’re looking for Under G’s is a good place to start. This Beverly Hills boutique has pretty much anything and everything. Whether you’re looking to make your bum disappear under heavily spandexed granny panties or you want to let it all hang out with string thong, they’ve got you covered or uncovered.
