Lingerie – Inspired Fashion

I have always loved the high fashion, straight off the runway look of lingerie turned into daywear.

But how does the everyday girl include some of these pieces without going too far?  The answer my dear, is a little planning, and a lot of confidence.  There are a few simple rules for this bombshell look:

1.  Be careful, its very easy to get carried away with lingerie, I do that all the time.  Make sure to keep it down to earth with contrasting elements. If you are going for a frilly piece, pair it with a structured jacket with simple, clean lines or try some cute boyfriend jeans with a delicate assortment of camisoles.

2. Corset tops are great for a boudoir inspired outfit.  So are layered sheer fabrics; lace and pink or nude colors.  Keep in mind to pair light colors with high impact colors like black to avoid being washed out.

3. Make sure to check all angles before leaving the house.  Lingerie can be sheer, so make sure you layer accordingly.

4. Confidence!  You are a sexy, stylish gal, so let everyone know it.  There is no reason why you can not include some of your lingerie pieces into your every day outfits, so go ahead and experiment!  Here are a few fun examples:

Ana Beat­riz Bar­ros, an international supermodel, wears a cute chemise with accessories to give off a hippie-chic vibe. Try that with our Christine Vancouver “Vinyard Babydoll Chemise”.  Add in some statement jewelry and skinny jeans and you are set!

One trend that is just hitting the streets is visible garter belts.  This look would be perfect for an adventurous night out on the town!

The key to this look is finding the right length skirt for you.  As a general rule, if you are a little more revealing on the bottom try to tone it down in the cleavage area to keep the outfit classy (and visa versa).  Try our Jezebel “Cherished Lace Garter Belt” with the straps fully extended.  Maybe add a structured blouse or jacket and finish it up with some thigh highs from StockinGirl.

The great thing about lingerie is that it can fit into every style.  I love the ballerina type look of camisoles and pale pinks, but you can also take a lacy garment and pair it with a punk rock outfit.  It’s all about contrast!  Contrast provides intrigue, and that is the first step to being sexy!
