Corset Styling Tips
It’s important to note that when it comes to personal style there are *no* rules. There are types of clothing that cooperate with a corset more than others, though.
In our opinion, the best pieces of clothing to wear with corsets are:
- Wrap dresses: A true wardrobe staple! Wrap dresses are wonderfully flattering on any body type; pair one with a corset and your silhouette will turn heads!
- Knit, wool, heavily textured fabrics: When worn over your corset, these fabrics make your corset almost invisible!
- Suit & blazer: Need we say more? Your confidence will soar in a posture correcting corset with the clean lines of a well-fitted blazer.
- Crop tops: When you want to show off your corset, there’s no better top to compliment an underbust corset than a sassy crop top.
- Skater dresses: Wear your corset over or under in one of our personal favorite wardrobe staples.
- Rompers: Opt to hide your corset in this look by layering your corset liner, then corset followed by your romper for a carefree and curvy outfit.
- Bodysuits: we always recommend wearing a liner between you and your corset. Wearing a bodysuit under your corset is a seamless way to wear basic top that won’t budge throughout the day while still making it easy to use the restroom throughout the day. Believe us, unlacing and lacing yourself back up each time you need to excuse yourself isn’t a fun way to spend your day!
Corsets can be dressed up or dressed down, they are incredibly versatile! Pair your steel boned corset with your favorite jeans and tee for a casual day outfit or with your most daring cocktail dress for a night on the town.
If you have furry pets, you may like our satin, PVC, or leather fabrics best. Cotton, mesh, and brocade are all beautiful choices, but they can attract pet hair and lint.
Choose satin, brocade, or lace for an elegant look. Leather and PVC are favorite choices among our more daring customers and just about everyone loves mesh! And for an extra pop, be sure to add your own flair by lacing your corset with satin laces available in a rainbow of hues!
Our customers are always the biggest source of inspiration for us. You’ll find no better examples of what to wear with your corset than you’ll find in any of our corset outfit galleries. Or, join the conversation and connect with us in our friendly Facebook group to see everyday outfits on all body types!
