Spice up your night

Whether you’re treating yourself or gifting your partner, take your pick from this seductive selection, says

- KATIE WRIGHT

USUALLY at this time of year, loved-up couples might be excitedly making restaurant reservatio­ns, or deciding which cocktail bar to visit on February 14.

Sadly, the pandemic has got our love lives locked down right now, so a romantic night in (possibly on Zoom!) is pretty much your only option for celebratin­g the Feast of St Valentine. So why not treat yourself to – or gift your special someone – a new outfit? And by outfit, we mean some very sexy undergarme­nts. Here’s our pick of the hottest lingerie to get you in the mood for Valentine’s Day...

RED ALERT

LIKE scarlet lipstick and bouquets of crimson roses, red lingerie will never go out of style. If pillar-box red is a bit too bright for you, opt for a deeper burgundy or cherry hue.

BLACK MAGIC

CLASSIC black is always a chic choice. For a softly sexy option, try a silky teddy instead of separate bra and briefs - it’s like the LBD of lingerie.
