Did you know that you can wear your lingerie outside?! Lacey, mesh, and satin lingerie pieces instantly take your cotton-based clothes to a subtly sultry level. Don’t limit your wardrobe to just the same t-shirt and jeans every day. By adding your favorite lingerie pieces to your usual outfits you’ll instantly revamp your current style. If you don’t have much lingerie currently in your closet, treat yourself to some new pieces for Valentine’s Day.
How To Wear Lingerie Outside
To wear your lingerie outside, think about how you currently style your outfits. A great place to start is with a bodysuit or corset. Why? Because you already know how to style it. A simple way to wear a lace bodysuit is to add jeans and a blazer – with your favorite accessories of course. Then, for more complex pieces – like a garter belt or corset – think about them as jewelry pieces. For example, with a corset, put on a long sleeve bodycon dress before adding your corset over it instead of underneath. Boom, you’ve got a whole new look from the tried-and-true pieces you already have in your wardrobe.
