How To Style Your Lingerie
The fashion trend that’s all over our FYP: underwear as outerwear.
We’ve all seen celebs stepping out in lingerie, whether they’re on the red carpet or running errands.
It can be hard to relate when it’s freezing outside, or when the briefs in question are diamond-encrusted. But we get it – when Beyoncé hops on a trend, we’re obviously going to try to recreate it.
Fancy hopping on this trend and learning how to style your lingerie? We’ve got you covered. Or not. 😉 We’ve put together some top tips for styling lingerie – whether it’s for date night, girls’ night, or popping to the shops (we love that for you 💅). And the best part is, you can do it all with staple wardrobe pieces that we bet you already own. Ready? Let’s get into it…
How to style bodysuits
Styling a bodysuit is the perfect starting point when figuring out how to style your underwear as outerwear – you can easily layer a bodysuit if you’re looking for more coverage at first. Bodysuits are the perfect girls’ night outfit – we love styling them with a blazer or jeans to elevate any ‘fit. Forget the classic ‘jeans and a nice top’ – jeans and a bodysuit is all we’re wearing these days.
We find that layering oversized pieces over figure-hugging bodysuits creates a gorgeous silhouette – so go for an oversized blazer or wide-leg jeans when you’re styling your bodysuit. The contrasting silhouette will draw attention to your beautiful bodysuit – just wait for the compliments to start rolling in… Our personal favourite way to style a lingerie bodysuit? Pair a semi-sheer bodysuit with a blazer, jeans and statement earrings. You’ll be the best dressed at brunch, every time.
How to style Intimates
Let’s take it up a notch… Don’t be intimidated by Intimates – they’re super-styleable, if you know what to pair them with. Our Intimates are perfect for date night, and they’re available in – literally – every colour you could wish for. We guarantee there’s an Intimates set that will suit your wardrobe, whatever your style.
If you’re ready to style your lingerie to the max, wear your Intimates bra as a top and simply drape a jacket over your shoulders. The detail on all our Intimates bras is so intricate and delicate, they definitely deserve their own moment. If you’re feeling a bit out of your depth wearing a bra on its own, we love layering a sheer top over an Intimates bra. This will give your bra the attention it deserves, but it’ll still keep you covered. Our fave way to style Intimates for date night is to wear them with stockings and pair them with a miniskirt. The suspenders poking out of the skirt is sooo sexy, without compromising on coverage.
How to style underwear
Depending on how comfortable you are with styling lingerie already, you can go full-coverage or no-coverage here. Our underwear collection is so vast, with so many colours, materials, styles and cuts, that you’re bound to find a way to style your underwear that suits you best.
If you fancy a full-coverage look, choose a structured bralette and pair with jeans, or even wear a full-coverage brief as micro-shorts. Yes, that’s a thing these days – and we’re loving it. If you want to go for something a little more sheer, style a lacy, non-padded bra with a crisp white shirt for an effortlessly put-together look.
And that’s it – your complete guide to styling your lingerie for any occasion, using pieces you’ve already got in your wardrobe.
