Many women walk into a lingerie store and don’t know what any of the different cuts of lingerie pieces are called. It becomes so much easier to shop for lingerie when you know the names of the various styles. That’s why we’ve compiled a short and comprehensive list of the top lingerie styles to know about and look for the next time you’re trying to spice it up in the bedroom or beyond.
