Showing skin is fashionable, whether it’s through “bare clothing,” extreme low-rise jeans teamed with bra tops à la Julia Fox or ready-to-wear lace lingerie sets. On the spring 2022 runways, we saw a lot of lingerie dressing, from Gucci’s trademark lace nightwear to Miu Miu’s bra tops, and it appears like the sensual trend isn’t going anywhere. For example, we saw beautifully translucent, undie-revealing clothing, as well as bustier and corset elements incorporated into leather and wool tops, at Fendi’s Fall 2022 show in Milan. The show ensured that lingerie-inspired outfits and the discreet reveal would return for another season.
From Gigi Hadid’s red carpet ensemble for the Savage x Fenty event to Kylie Jenner’s LaQuan Smith catsuit, celebrities have backed boudoir dressing far beyond the bedroom. Meghan Thee Stallion, on the other hand, recently wore a lace bra under a leather blazer to the Super Bowl after-party. Look no further than these five lingerie costumes for more ideas on how to wear balconette bras, lace bodysuits, and bustiers for a night out, as well as where to get them.
1. Balconette Bodysuits
When it comes to a going-out appearance, a lace bodysuit, leather trousers, and a pair of boots is a total no-fail ensemble recipe. Choose a dress like Dakota Johnson’s with balconette cups and a boned corset bodice for a classic boudoir vibe.
2. Soft Bralettes
Dainty lace bralettes need to be flaunted, and a full suiting outfit is a perfect way to do so. Coordinating tailoring elevates the reveal, and you have complete control over how much skin is exposed underneath.
3. Bustiers
Take it from January Vogue cover actress Olivia Wilde: exposing corsets and bustiers may be worn with non-revealing, non- clothing. The contrast and balance are effective. Wilde wears a midi skirt and simple boots with her two-part lingerie ensemble (bralette and corset).
4. Lace Catsuits
Wearing a lace catsuit alone is definitely for people with a bold sense of style. The second-skin lace can also be worn as a full-body layering garment. Wear a frilled skirt over the top and a strapless top below to make the bodysuit look like tights and a mesh long-sleeve shirt.
5. Bra Tops
Meghan Thee Stallion makes the case for combining lace and leather for the perfect night-out look. Why not add a bra top to your leather blazer and tiny skirt ensemble?
