Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

Valentine's Day is around the corner and whether you're a believer in the holiday or not, it does provide an excellent excuse to buy some new lingerie (even if it's for your eyes only). We've mapped out a guide for the best underpinnings found in the city.—Christine Mitchell

La Perla

One of the most universally recognized lingerie brands, La Perla has been offering luxurious hand-made silk and lace items since it was founded in 1954. And you know what they say, “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it." [Photo: Christine Mitchell]

Agent Provocateur

A no-brainer in the lingerie department, Agent Provocateur is proof that treating oneself never looked so good. Although the intimates cost a pretty penny, it’s worth the investment. [Photo: Christine Mitchell]

Steven Alan

Sometimes the obvious lace in red or black is overrated. Stop by Steven Alan on Newbury for their selection of delectably soft cotton bras and panties by TEN or multi-functional and colorful pieces from XIRENA (which incidentally double as swimwear). [Photo: Flagship Photo]

Anthropologie

American Apparel

Copy Link
If you have a minimalist approach to your undergarments, American Apparel is your best bet. Channel your inner gymnast with a stretch floral lace bodysuit or keep it cheeky with fishnet stockings and a garter belt. Just because American Apparel is simple, doesn’t mean they are short on options. [Photo: Christine Mitchell]

Wolford

Copy Link
Not just a shop for hosiery, Wolford has a selection of sophisticated bras, panties, and lingerie. And for the lady looking for a little extra support and contour, they have deceptively sexy shapewear pieces. [Photo: Christine Mitchell]
100 Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA 02116
(617) 236-5070

Intimacy

For the lady in need of a custom fitting, Intimacy is the answer. With over 90 bra sizes you’re bound to find the “glass slipper” for your bosom. And if it’s not just right, they offer alterations. [Photo]

L'Ecole Nuit

L'Ecole Nuit opened its brick and mortar this summer in the South End. And chéri, aren’t we glad it did. The shop is cheeky and seductive with a fine selection of European lingerie and a variety of other boudoir necessities. [Photo: Courtesy]
