It was once hidden, now it’s celebrated, lingerie as outerwear and it isn’t just for runways and celebrities, its for ladies everywhere, it’s fun-derwear! Lingerie is bold, it’s chic, and it’s now an incredibly versatile trend that allows you to express your unique style with a touch of confidence, seduction and allure. If you want to turn heads and elevate your everyday look, here are some tips for rocking your beautiful pieces from Baba’s Lingerie as part of your outerwear!
1. The Classic Cami & Cardigan/Blazer Combo – This is number one, you can’t miss, it’s always a hit! A beautiful lace camisole, a structured corset or a silk slip top peeking out from under a tailored blazer, a cozy knit cardigan, or a denim jacket is effortlessly chic. The contrast between the soft, delicate lingerie and the structured outerwear creates a sophisticated balance. Go for solid colors or subtle lace patterns for a more refined look.
2. The Bodysuit Power Play – Bodysuits are perhaps the easiest piece of lingerie to integrate into outerwear. Treat them like a fitted top! Pair a lace or embellished bodysuit with …
- High-waisted jeans or trousers – a sleek, seamless look that’s perfect for a night out or even a smart-casual office vibe (if styled appropriately with a blazer).
- A flowy skirt – this creates a beautiful silhouette, keeping the top half streamlined.
Try bodysuits with interesting necklines or sleeve details to make them truly stand out.
3. The Slip Dress Renaissance – The slip dress has made a major comeback! It’s no longer just for the bedroom; it’s a versatile fashion staple.
- Layer over a T-shirt or turtleneck – for a cool, ’90s-inspired vibe, wear a simple white t-shirt or a fine-knit turtleneck underneath your slip dress.
- Under a sweater – let the hem and lace details of your slip dress peek out from under a chunky sweater for a cozy yet chic layered look.
- Add boots & a leather jacket – edge up your delicate slip dress with combat boots and a jeans or leather jacket for a rebellious yet stylish ensemble.
The fabric is key! Silk, satin, or good quality charmeuse slips look the most luxurious as outerwear.
4. Bralettes are Taking Center Stage – Yes, bralettes can be more than just underwear! Wear them …
- Under sheer tops – wear a decorative bralette under a sheer blouse, mesh top, or an open-knit sweater. It adds a touch of intrigue without revealing too much.
- Peeking from low-cut tops – let a hint of a pretty lace bralette show under a v-neck top or an unbuttoned shirt.
- Layered with overalls – a bralette under open overalls can create a playful, summery look.
Choose bralettes with wide bands, intricate lace, or interesting back details for maximum impact.
5. The robe as a kimono or jacket – Who said robes are just for lounging at home? A luxurious silk or satin robe can double as a chic kimono or duster jacket.
- Over jeans and a tee – elevate a simple jeans-and-t-shirt outfit instantly.
- Try a Maxi Dress – this adds an extra layer of style and warmth to a flowy dress.
- Over leggings or shorts – cover your ass-ets while adding a chic street style to your look.
Buy robes with beautiful prints, embroidery, or a structured collar to make them look more like outerwear.
Remember, confidence is sexy! It doesn’t matter how you choose to style your lingerie, wear it with confidence. The key to pulling off this trend is owning it. Start with subtle touches and gradually experiment with bolder statements. You’ll be amazed at how a little lace or silk can transform your entire look and make you feel incredible!
