Christmas Underwear: 15 Festive Lingerie Sets To Buy
From classic cotton briefs to sultry red satin sets
If Christmas is the one time of year when you throw all your staple style rules out of the window, the same should apply to your underwear. Whether you've got a seasonal penchant for sparkly earrings and Fair Isle jumpers, you're likely to enjoy dabbling in a bit of red/satin/sparkles/velvet/tartan under your shirt come December.
For those of you savvy enough, you can make Christmas lingerie part of your outfit: Gilda & Pearl's slip doubles as a dress and a midi skirt, while Oséree's bejewelled bra would look great with this season's favourite sheer blouses. And, of course, sometimes underwear isn't intended for anywhere but the bedroom, which is why we've included some playful festive sets that are literally designed to be unwrapped, just like a present.
From comfy cotton briefs to luxe lace sets and extra AF satin robes, we've hand-picked all the best Christmas underwear for every kind of celebration.
Rosie claret silk & lace set
Wired bra - £29.50 SHOP NOW
Knickers - £15.00 SHOP NOW
We couldn't do an underwear round-up without including Britain's most-loved lingerie line: Rosie by Autograph. Universally-flattering and genuinely so comfortable (we can vouch), the model's mulled-wine silk pieces will serve you for many an Xmas to come.
La Perla Maison embroidered lace-trimmed silk-satin chemise
£540
La Perla's Maison chemises are legendary, so if you're looking for gift ideas this one will win you maximum brownie points. Made from lustrous silk-satin, this delicate piece is dyed in a festive scarlet hue and appliquéd with black lace along the sweetheart neckline.
Agent Provocateur Sloane lace-trimmed satin set
Bra - £120 SHOP NOW
Thong - £55 SHOP NOW
Cut from bright emerald-green satin trimmed with black lace, Agent Provocateur’s Sloane set is high-key Christmassy. This balconette and thong set might feel a stretch from your everyday underwear, but the Noughties push-up bra is having a serious renaissance for 2024.
Rosamosario Satin-trimmed silk-georgette robe
£337
If you feel like being extra on Christmas day and lounging around like royalty in a robe, Rosamosario is here for that. Made from scarlet-red silk-georgette and finished with lustrous satin trims, this gown is the epitome of luxury.
Intimissimi tulle and lace bodysuit
£69
If scarlet-red feels too OTT, go for deeper shades of burgundy or forest-green at Christmas. This tulle bodysuit, from J-Lo's new capsule collection for Intimissimi, features embroidered triangle cups and a sensual keyhole cut-out.
Gucci GG semi-sheer lingerie set
£540
Looking for something cool rather than just straight-up sexy? Opt for Gucci's playful underwear set. Cut from scarlet-red tulle, the bralette and matching briefs are appropriately festive, but the brand's signature Double G monogramming also gives them a punky feel that'll work way beyond December.
Coco de Mer Leavers lace bodysuit
£475
Christmas underwear doesn’t have to mean sparkles and star motifs. For a ‘grown up’ take on festive lingerie, look to Coco de Mer. Crafted from French corded Leavers lace and finished with satin trims, this bodysuit will work for the bedroom and beyond – simply add jeans and a blazer for Friday night drinks.
Agent Provocateur Dollee dressing gown
£360
Don't do red? This sheer tulle robe from Agent Provocateur is just as festive thanks to its fluffy marabou trim and pompom tie belt. Wear yours beyond the bedroom (filter dressing -layering with sheer pieces - is a huge partywear trend right now) by underpinning it with a classic black slip.
House of Silk Madeline bodysuit
£155
Christmas is the time to spoil loved ones (or yourself) with luxurious gifts they'll keep forever. And it doesn't get much more luxe than a silk bodysuit. We love the racy cut outs and playful polka dot tulle on this festive number.
Intimissimi silk slip
£74
La Perla a little too spenny? Intimissimi's slip is the next best thing. Made from red silk-satin, it's trimmed with Leavers lace and topped with slender spaghetti straps.
Gilda & Pearl Sophia midi slip
£290
A little more wearable than a lacey slip, Gilda & Pearl's midi nightdress is cut from emerald-green satin in a minimalist 1990s-inspired shape. This one is too good to hide away at home; wear it solo with gold jewellery or layer it underneath a cashmere sweater at Christmas lunch.
Victoria's Secret bow bodysuit
£85
If you're taking the whole 'unwrap me' thing seriously this Christmas, Victoria's Secret has got you (un)covered. Made from red satin, this cut-out bodysuit is defined by a trio of satin bows – because you are the gift.
