Sophisticated new season lingerie to wear this Valentine's Day and beyond

Our executive fashion director chooses the chicest options around...

Whether you love celebrating Valentine's Day or would rather poke your eyes out than sit in a packed restaurant full of other couples, it's a good time to treat yourself to some new lingerie.

Especially as this is the time of year that brands bring out their very best new designs and inspire us with fresh campaigns.

One of my favourites this year is the new collection from JD Williams, modelled by 59-year-old silver-haired model Nicola Griffin. Beyond the fact that it's a sophisticated collection available in a broad range of sizes, it demonstrates that women over 50 are anything but invisible (as suggested recently by French journalist Yann Moix).

So, whether you'd like to invest in a super-special set or just fancy bringing your knicker draw back to life, check out our top 10 new season lingerie picks here...
