Heads up – lingerie is not just underwear anymore, it can be worn to be seen now! Since showing off lingerie became a thing back in the late 2010s, lingerie has been seen on the red carpet, on evenings out and even during the day with the right outfit. Wearing your lingerie outside of the bedroom may seem like a daunting thought, but trust us, it works!
Lingerie today is all about body positivity, it’s all about embracing your authentic self, and that’s why we are thrilled it has actually become a fashion movement. We’ve seen more and more boudoir shoots with some beautiful and delicate lingerie, and we’ve seen Fashion Week street style with a bold touch of lingerie too! Here’s our guide to rocking the lingerie trend.
Corsets
Corsets are back and they’re here to stay! Not only are they bold, daring a little edgy, but they’re also figure-flattering. They will showcase your assets, and can be worn in so many different ways. There are TikTok hacks showing how to concoct a beautiful dress out of a silk skirt and a corset, and corsets are now even being worn with jeans for a 90s-inspired vibe.
Bodies
Bodies are the perfect way to revamp your evening wardrobe. Looking for a new going-out look? Then a body, paired with high-waisted trousers will be your jaw-dropping outfit. A plunging v-neckline bodysuit with layered necklaces will add a little rock’n’roll energy to your night. During the day, we also love wearing bodies under buttoned-down shirts for a hint of sex appeal!
Sports Lingerie
You’ve probably seen the photos of every influencer out there wearing Calvin Klein underwear. Showing your underwear outside is in! Wearing a cotton sportswear-style bra with high-waisted jeans and an oversized shacket is understated yet cool. Lowing medium-rise jeans with your CK waistband showing is also making a style statement. This is an 80s’ trend that we’re totally here for!
Cami Tops
Once deemed as an undergarment, cami tops are now considered “regular” tops. They can be worn under plunging necklines or worn solo with an oversized blazer. The fine and delicate straps, along with the lace detailing, will create a feminine and elegant finish to your look. They also come as slip dresses, to be worn under sheer clothing or on their own with an edgy leather jacket.
Lace Bralettes
Sometimes, when you have such as beautiful bra, you just want to show it off! The wearing of lingerie outside the bedroom trend will give you the perfect excuse to do so! We recommend wearing a lace bralette under a sheer blouse (we’re thinking of an organza blouse) to give an irresistible feel to your look. This look is unexpected, yet can take you from day to night. This is the perfect look to wear for a dinner date or coffee date where you just want to feel a little dressier!
Cycling Shorts
Though cycling shorts can be considered sportswear for some, others may consider it as shapewear! Cycling shorts are a controversial trend – you either love them or hate them! To nail the off-duty look, wear your cycling shorts with an oversized tee and feel free and cool. Plus, cycling shorts are so comfy, you’ll never want to take them off!
