Whether you're feeling frisky or, perhaps, fallen, there's nothing like sensual lingerie to perk things up. An audience is nice, yes, but indulgent intimates can definitely be one's own little secret, too. Whenever the moment strikes, seek satiny solace at these ladypart-loving shops.

    How long are you actually going to be wearing this little outfit? If you don't mind something that's potentially disposable, yet undeniably cute, sexy and obscenely inexpensive, this is one of the best places to snatch a thong or bustier (or ten!) in a zillion styles and colors. When in need, trust the Swedes.

    It's no surprise that a company marketing its wares around sex is a great spot for underthings. "Lusty" might be the best word for the store's offerings (even tube socks get the scandalous treatment), but the intimates are vaguely retro and minimalist enough to throw anyone into a soft porn time warp. (That's a good thing.)

    100 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA 02116 (map)

    Hearts are wont to palpitate for this Austrian-based boutique of luxury undergarments, both for their utter beauty and high price tag. Tights can run easily at $50 (pun intended), but the patterns and colors of the Euro-styled lingerie are gorgeously subtle and gleaming with quality.

    Fit is the number one word here, as most women wear the wrong size bra, and this boutique's best interest is to find the right one. Don't be breast-shy, as there's a lot of personal assistance during the "fitting," but after a few trials and tribulations (in brands from La Breeza to Chantelle), you'll walk home with a flattering little number and a sexier spring in your step.

  5. 5 5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended French Dressing

    49 River St, Boston, MA 02108 (map)

    Going trashy is impossible at this personable Beacon Hill boutique. Navigate French brands like Huit, Aubade and Princesse Tam Tam to seek something modern and sexy, with great fit. If you're really hooked, you (or someone special) can join the "thong-of-the-month" club. Not bacon, but it'll do.

    A comprehensive mix, from the everyday task of supporting "the girls" to stripping things down to the saucy minimum. Try-ons aren't a hassle, with petite and full-figured sizes available. Nothing too ridiculously racy, but the knowledgeable staff and reasonable pricing earns major thumbs up.

  7. 7 Agent Provocateur

    123 Newbury St, Boston, MA 02116 (map)

    London-based lingerie boutique goes for the bells and whistles of sophisticated urban fantasy: from the coy "oopsie!" ingenue to whip-lashing pasty-wearin' black-clad mistresses. Not for the meek.

  8. 8 4.5 Star Rating: Recommended La Perla

    250 Boylston St, Boston, MA 02116 (map)

    With laces in all the right places, La Perla seduces with high-end Italian lingerie. The collection ranges from the subdued to the avant-garde but is always elegant. After perusing this boutique overlooking the glorious public gardens, you'll feel like a million lira.
