Underwear as Outerwear
Not many of us would dream of leaving the house with our underwear showing. But surprise! It's actually a trend.
Stylist Todd Ramos says, "Back in the day, showing a bra was a big no-no. Currently, bras are in -- so show it off, but don't flaunt it off." Here are the keys to looking flashy, and not trashy:
- No everyday neutral undies! Look for embellishments and coverage. Try lace with lining, animal print, color and cute straps.
- Layer your underwear with tailored clothes, like a blazer.
- Use "portion control"! Only show a little bit at a time.
- Try a sheer shirt with a pretty contrasting bra. Just make sure it looks like you did it on purpose.
- Try an exposed camisole or bustier with a jacket.
- For a more daring look, try a teddy! Todd says to pull on a pair of jeans or leggings and "call it a day." However, be sure your teddy covers. They have very little support (and use nipple covers)!
- A lingerie gown is a fun spin on the maxi dress.
- Rompers are crossing over from day wear to play wear! Be sure to use some shimmer on your legs.
- If you're bold enough to go out in garters (note: and it's NOT a look for everyone) be sure to wear over the knee boots and don't let it wear you!
