Lingerie was once considered far too risqué to be worn as outerwear, but in recent years, it’s become quite trendy to incorporatesexy undergarmentsinto everyday outfits. While some folks may still find lingerie-based looks to be rather scandalous depending on how they’re styled, it’s also totally possible to achieve an elevated, classy ensemble that balances sultry pieces with more typical clothing.

这种风格的关键是内衣和更多modest garments. Doing this will subtly balance the softer, lingerie elements with polished pieces that assert a sexy-yet-sophisticated vibe. The goal should be to find an equilibrium between the lingerie and the rest of the look and elegantly weave traditionally “unwearable” pieces into a chic everyday outfit. From clubbing and weddings, to lunch dates and weekend getaways, scroll on for stunning examples of how to successfully style lingerie for a number of occasions.

For a casual lunch date

Keep things simple with a slip dress and a long coat for an easy everyday look.

Whether you’re grabbing a bite with a friend or enjoying a midday reprieve by stepping out for a solo lunch, you can look sexy, classy, and stylish in a lingerie-based outfit appropriate for the casual occasion. We adore the contrast of a slip dress with a trench-style jacket—the strategic layering creates a playful peek-a-boo effect and keeps the lingerie from overpowering the outfit. A smart choice of shoe is also key to ensuring this look is daytime-appropriate. Finally, finish the look with a chic bag from aReviewed-approved brand.

Opt for a bolder, sultry vibe when you curate a lingerie-inspired going-out look.

Successfully curating a lingerie-based outfit for a night out is actually quite easy—everyone loves getting a little sexier than usual while out on the town. For this look, opt for a more lingerie-forward moment that’s still rooted in chic sophistication. Embrace your curves with a fitted bustier and midline-cinching, high-waisted pants, but leave a little something to be desired with a relaxed-leg silhouette. With a few thoughtfully coordinated statement accessories, you’ll be the belle of the bar.
