Looking to spice up your travels with a wardrobe makeover for the boudoir? Skip Victoria’s Secret and check out these great destinations for lingerie.

Paris

Europe’s most romantic city is also the perfect place to pick up a sexy new outfit. French lingerie boutiques are found throughout Paris, with styles embracing the chic lace, bright embroidery and silky fabrics you’d expect from a Parisian brand. Corsets are also quite popular, but French lingerie embraces comfort as much as it does style.

Tokyo

Tokyo-ites enjoy dressing up in costumes, better known as cosplay. Fashion destinations like Shibuya are home to lingerie stores selling frilly unmentionables and quality undergarments with a fanciful flair. You’ll also find countless stores selling costumes like French maid outfits or school girl uniforms, if that’s more your style. On your next trip to Tokyo, you might even come across the new bra vending machines that were unveiled earlier this month.

Miami

This party city is known for its nightlife, so it’s no wonder there are plenty of lingerie stores to choose from. Miami is home to designer boutiques like Cosabella with its Sex and the City line, Oh La La Cheri and its European styles, and La Perla, where the lingerie is nothing short of luxurious. The local lingerie boutiques offer plenty to get you ready for a night out on the town in South Beach.

Las Vegas

Sin City is filled with lingerie stores that will have you feeling sexy on The Strip. There aren’t many limits on what’s for sale in Las Vegas, from kinky costumes to downright naughty unmentionables. In August, you can even break in your sexy new outfit at the annual Midsummer Lingerie Carnival at the Palms.

Rio de Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro is an undeniably sexy city, with its sand-swept beaches and annual Rio Carnival celebration. Slip into something playful from a local boutique like Marisa Lingerie or Sensualle, where fun pushes inhibitions right out the door.

Amsterdam

Amsterdam has quite the after-dark reputation, but its lingerie boutiques are in a class of their own. Couture designs and exclusive brands are offered by appointment only at some of the city’s most upscale boutiques, and most of the local lingerie stores focus only on high-quality unmentionables, whether it be undergarments or a sexy costume.
