3 New Orleans Lingerie Stores Dedicated to Boosting Your Sexy Self-Confidence

Trashy Diva Lingerie

Don’t be fooled by the name – there isn’t much “trashy” about the sultry, glamorous lingerie you’ll find at Trashy Diva Lingerie. Actually, Trashy Diva Lingerie used to be a part of the Trashy Diva Clothing Store, but it became its own boutique in 2006. Today, you can shop at one of their two locations, either in the French Quarter or uptown.

They are known for their feminine, sexy styles with a wide array of inclusive sizes so that every customer can feel their sexiest. From garter belts to corsets, stockings to nightgowns, there is something sultry and sexy for everyone. Stop by to appreciate their Mardis Gras-loving roots and peruse their collections of incredible lingerie.

Bra Genie

There’s nothing worse than wearing an ill-fitting bra, and Bra Genie is the place to go for an accurate bra fitting. They’re a great spot to find an everyday bra or pair of panties to keep you comfortable. Still, they also have a great selection of sexy lingerie. They have robes lined in feminine feathers or lace that drips down to the floor. Show off a little or a lot with your choice of shiny, smooth satins or see-through tulle and mesh.

Daring teddies come in various colors and styles, adorned with lace, straps, and leather features that will get hearts racing. Again, you can go with something requiring the camera (or your partner) to use their imagination or give them a visual taste of the best yet to come. And, of course, they have bra and panty sets that are perfect for photoshoots, although you likely won’t be wearing them for long if you try them out on date night…

Basics Underneath

Basics Underneath was inspired by a 1998 trip to Paris when owners Juliet Holton and Desiree Petitbon returned to the States with a passion for improving New Orleans’ lingerie offerings. Today, they carry pieces from American and European designers with many functions. From swimwear and activewear to everyday basics, there’s something for everyone – including those looking for something a little sexier.

Basics Underneath has an excellent lingerie selection, from barely-there bras made of see-through mesh to bustiers that provide a little extra lift. Many of their pieces come in classic neutrals like black, white, and nudes, but you can find something with a pop of color if that’s more your style. This is a great place for any boudoir model looking for a more simplistic, natural, but no-less-sexy look for their photoshoot.
