You can still wear sexy lingerie and feel great, even if you're over 40 and 50. These 15 pieces of lingerie for older women highlight your assets, hide the areas you don't feel great about, and will make you feel absolutely beautiful when you wear them.
Here's a great idea for an at-home date night: cook up an easy and romantic Valentine's Day dinner and serve it while wearing some sexy lingerie.
Are you already shaking your head saying, "No, no. I never could."? Well, I'm here to tell you that lingerie for older women exists and you can still feel beautiful and sexy in lingerie, even if you're over 50.
Yes, even if your body isn't quite the same as it was when you were 30. Yes, without feeling constricted or constantly tugging at random straps and belts. And, yes, without exposing more of your body than you feel comfortable doing.
I've rounded up 15 pieces of mature lingerie that are ideal for women over 40 and 50. Everything I've selected is designed to flatter older bodies like my own by highlighting the parts we want to show (now's the time to show off some cleavage!) and minimizing the areas we may want to hide (I call these my "squishy spots").
I've picked a variety of pieces that range from fairly modest to va-va-voom sexy so you can pick a piece that you feel comfortable wearing.
A few notes about lingerie buying:
- Take your measurements and check sizing before ordering. Sizing can vary widely and a perfect fit is essential to feeling comfortable in your lingerie.
- Check return policies. If you buy something and feel uncomfortable in it, return it! You should only wear lingerie that makes you feel like a goddess.
- Don't forget accessories! Some thigh-high hose and glamorous slippers can amp up the sexiness of almost any of these selections.
And, yes, I made a purchase from this list too! Can you guess what I bought? I'll reveal it in the list.

This chemise hugs your curves without being too tight and has a see-through side lace panel. The reviews for this nightgown are positively glowing, with many reviewers mentioning how comfy this nightgown is and how flattering the side lace panel is.

If you're comfortable showing a bit more skin, this satin chemise really shows off the ladies and comes in sizes from Small to 4X Large. Reviewers talk about how beautiful and flattering this nightgown is. Be sure and order one size up from your normal size, as this nightgown does run small.

I want to take you on a little journey now of some options in mature women lingerie. The next few options are going to be the classic black chemise, but each one is going to get just a little more risque. You can pick the option you feel most comfortable in.
We're starting out with this racerback chemise from Nordstrom. The soft jersey is comfortable without being too clingy, the cut is flattering to women who might to have a bit more coverage over their rear end, and the lace detail adds a touch of romance.
The reviews specifically mention how this chemise fits nicely without highlighting the midsection, something many of us women over 50 want to keep covered.

Soma bras and panties are a favorite among my friends. We all swear by the Vanishing Panties as a no-show option under leggings and the 360 Perfect Coverage Front Close Bra is unique in that it provides comfort and support for both small- and large-busted women.
And the best part? Look how pretty they are. This Honey Rose color will make you feel like a princess and it hides under clothes as well as any of your nude bras.
EVAbaby Corset Bustier
I'm finishing this list with the most daring option of sexy lingerie for mature women. If you're feeling brave, I really encourage you to try out this corset. A corset is a wonderful piece of lingerie because it enhances your natural assets and shapes your midsection. Sizes for this corset go up to 6XL and check your measurements before ordering - you may need to size up.
Tanis says
While I applaud your effort to offer up suggestions for mature women’s lingerie, it would have much more credibility had you shown actual mature women’s lingerie. What woman over 50 (with only God-given parts) has the upright, voluminous breasts to wear on n any of those teddies or chemises? Heard of gravity? Well so far, for the most part, the lingerie industry hasn’t and continue to market intimate clothing with no consideration to the changing profile of the female form as it ages. A real shame. But again, I applaud your effort and thank-you for your vision.
