Here at the Cut, we love a fancy pice of lingerie every once and a while, so we combed through the market to find 21 selections that feel sexy and more special than your ordinary black bra. From lacy tulle bralettes and Calvin Klein boxer briefs, to a bodysuit that would do even a Bond Girl proud, click through our slideshow to take a peek.

Wearing purple will feel a little rebellious in respect to your usual basic black, white, and nude undies. 
This spidery stretched lace is reinforced with extra wires to give more structure and support. 
Calvin Klein's version of sexy lingerie: an athletic cut meets delicate lace.
For Love & Lemon's barely there, strategically placed double straps feel fresher than your usual "sexy lingerie."
If you're the no-frills type, try this simple, streamlined bralet. 
This one has intricate little black glass beading that will surely glint in whatever mood lighting you decide to set.
This satin ribbon playsuit instantly defines the waist and accentuates the curves.
This Dolce & Gabbana black and ivory polka-dot balcony bra will help you channel your inner Sophia Loren.

Stella McCartney's fuchsia purple bodysuit looks like a pretty one-piece bathing suit — but a whole lot sexier. 
Eberjey's scalloped, inky blue bra is a simple way to elevate your normal black bra without going over-the-top. 
A bodysuit to make a Bond Girl proud. 
Pleated black tulle runs diagonally on either side to make this plunging bodysuit look extra va-va-voom.
Maybe you just want an adorable playsuit to wear by itself or layer under a silk button-down top.
