Corsets are one of the oldest and sexiest styles of lingerie. The way women wear them and have worn them in the past meets at a point, still continuing to make them as desirable as ever.
An equally appropriate piece for a bride or a burlesque dancer, I doubt if there is anything else as versatile as leather corsets. A lot about your personality can be revealed if you are a woman who is fond of them. You are exciting and love taking risks. You admire yourself. And you take that extra pinch to look glam, tasteful and exquisite with élan.
Styles: The simplest categorization would be under the bust and over it, further dividing into corsets that have their specialty. Steel bone corsets are mainly used for waist reductions from 2-4 inches. Fashion top styles have soft plastic boning for the benefit of that extra shape exactly where you intend. Victorian, Tudor, 18th century, Wasp Waist, Hourglass, Leather etc. are a few of those many categories out there.
Everyday look: Try dressing up with a laced leather corset over a pretty blouse with a ruffled front or pleated puff sleeves. Choose warm colors for your corset like black, brown, shades of maroon. So the delicate feel of the blouse is a nice contrast to its sleek look. Slim fitting pants or jeans will look great with it.
If you do plan to wear a skirt, it might end up looking like a costume. So minus the blouse and just keep the leather bustier corset. Add a jersey maxi draping skirt, oversized golden earrings and a pair of gladiators to go with it.
Party look: The tip to getting ready for a party is to go out there exclusively dressed. And what could be a greater way of wearing a corset outside your bedroom. Spice it up with a blazer. Glossy zipper corsets add to the sensuality you are aiming for. You may even experiment with an asymmetrical skirt, high super shiny Steve Madden shoes (or anything that looks like them) and a shimmering clutch to go with it. Grab all the compliments and be ready for many more.
Tan colored wide shorts, wedges and a cardigan over the top will also look pleasantly adorable. Dressing up emphasizing on the Gothic look for a specific party, thick heeled leather boots upto the knees and dark make-up could also be on your cards.
Corsets and their demand is increasing everyday due to their sensuality and subtle appeal. So wear it underneath or on top, make sure you keep it stylish!
