FROM THE SHEETS TO THE STREETS
Know that lacy, sexy bra that sits in your closet, collecting dust, waiting to finally be worn? Maybe you’re saving it for a special someone to see, or for a night in with a bottle of wine and your favorite rom-com. Whatever the occasion may be, now is the time to stop waiting for it. Thanks to style icons like Kim Kardashian and Rihanna, boudoir-inspired clothing is taking over streetwear. Whether you choose to go with a more modest approach like a slip dress, or to bare it all with a transparent bra, making this trend your own is easy. As this summer ends, embrace your confidence and dare to wear lingerie as daywear.
// SLIP DRESS
One of the easiest ways to incorporate this trend into your wardrobe is with a satin or silk slip dress. They’re comfortable, lightweight, and not too revealing if that’s something you’re concerned with. Wear with a strapped heel for a look that an early 2000’s Paris Hilton would have dreamed of.
// SHAPEWEAR
In the past month, the most intriguing trend that’s arrived is shapewear worn over clothing. Corsets, cinchers, and more worn over baggy cotton come together for a juxtaposition that can’t help but fascinate. Bike shorts and similar leg shapewear have been seen all over Kim Kardashian’s wardrobe, adding an element of surprise, to say the least.
// SATIN COAT
Need a cover up for your satin slip? Look no further than a satin robe. Since the lingerie trend is all about satin and other luxurious fabrics, there’s no such thing as too much of this textile. Take a tip from Rihanna and dress up your bedroom look with some furry heels. We recommend letting the robe hang open to mimic a conventional coat.
// BODYSUIT
Since the beginning of this year, the bodysuit has taken ready-to-wear fashion by storm as one of the most sought after pieces. To really stand out, ditch the cotton and play with other textiles. Pair with your favorite denim for a sensual, sophisticated style.
// BRA TOP
Although this trend may be exclusively for the most daring, thankfully it’s becoming less taboo to show off a little here and there. Take a risk and pull out that bra you’ve been waiting to wear. Style with other opaque garments to avoid sensory overkill. Top with a satin robe for a Rihanna-style look that will be sure to turn heads.
