Goods: Lingerie, pajamas and a small assortment of erotic toys. Designers: Cosabella, Huit, Simone Perele, Elle Macpherson, Arianne, Wendy Goez and Lise Charmel. Price Range: Moderate-Expensive. Owner: Gretchen Reachmack was shopping for lingerie with her cousin, an ex-nun, when she had the idea to open a lingerie boutique where women could browse and be comfortable. Vibe: Visitors must buzz to enter and then pass through a brick-paved, gated courtyard. The tucked-away boutique feels like a secret lingerie garden. Inside, staff is gracious and warm. The Look: Underneath-it-all sass. Zebra prints one day and Victorian corset tops the next. Shopper’s Perks: Couples appointments are encouraged and men are welcome to lounge in the big leather man-chair outside the ladies’ fitting room. The Thing for Spring: The color trend stretches to undergarments too, as Reachmack is thrilled about hot, beautiful colors like mint and coral.

Designers: Lingerie comes from Simone Perele, Huit, Betsey Johnson, Chantelle, Only Hearts, Hanky Panky, Felina, Aubade, On Gossamer, Madame V and Jane Woolrich. Owners: Cheryl Sloane and Kari Kupcinet-Kriser started G Boutique as a “girlfriend thing”—they envisioned a spot where ladies could stock up on erotic paraphernalia in a comfortable environment. Vibe: A provocative ambiance prevails with deep red and gold hues, old armoires, chaise lounges and items that could blind virgin eyes. The frank and completely relaxed staff helps quell any sex-store jitters. Price Range: Inexpensive-Expensive. The Look: Romantic, sensual, spontaneous. Lingerie ranges from prim and proper to been-around-the-block. Shopper’s Perks: G Boutique hosts private parties (either at the shop or in your home) for ladies to “drink, eat, try on clothes and talk about sex.” Their “How to Please a Man/Woman” classes are also popular. The Thing for Spring: The bright, electric colors in the Elle Macpherson Boudoir line.
