If there’s one thing that the Victorian era has blessed us with, it has got to be the fashion. Out of the many trends that have cycled in and out of popularity over the centuries, the corset is a classic pick that never really died down. In fact, over the last few years, corsets have managed to resurrect into the fashion world, and how! From the runway to the red carpet, these historical pieces have become a staple for every fashionista. Even celebrity stylists are highly reliant on it ‘coz when worn right, a corset can shape and define your curves in the sexiest way!
If you’re looking for a sign to buy a corset, then this is it! As an inspiration guide for you, we have furbished through the Instagram pages of our fave celebs and chosen six looks that you can take style tips from. To help you better, we’ve also curated a list of some budget-friendly pieces that we found on Amazon! So what are you waiting for? Read on:
Casual & Classic With Distressed Denims
The Victorian era’s collaboration with Gen Z has birthed this killer combo — corset + ripped denims! If you ever thought that corsets cannot be styled casually, then this is your awakening. Corsets when teamed with high-waist denims look class apart. The best part? It can be an OOTD as well as an OOTN! You can pair this stellar ensemble with sneakers, heels, and even boots like our girl, Disha! It’s the ultimate secret to feeling sexy without moving out of your comfort zone.
Cinch Your Oversized Shirt Dress With A Corset Belt
If you’re looking for an effortless way to spruce up your simple shirt dress, then a corset belt is just what you need! Shraddha Kapoor nailed her subtle look by cinching her shirt dress at the waist with a thick corset belt. Pro tip: If you don’t own a shirt dress, you can steal a shirt from your dad, brother, or spouse’s wardrobe. After all, upcycled fashion is always the best!
Power Dressing With A Tinge Of Risqué
Pantsuits and blazers no longer belong just in the conference room. When styled with a risqué corset, they double up as the perfect party wear. Take it from Bebo — her edgy ensemble looks super sexy and exudes major #BossBabe vibes. If you’re working from home and have got your old blazers lying around; layer them over a smoking hot corset top and make a statement wherever you go.
Flaunt It With A Mini Skirt
If you’re looking for a little sugar and a little spice, then pairing your flirtatious corset top with a cutesy skirt is the way to go! If you’re looking for some styling inspo, then Ananya Panday has got it just right. We love how she nailed the colour-blocking trend with a floral corset top and a green leather skirt.
The Emerging Denim Corset
The latest addition to the corset trend is the super racy denim corset top. These corset tops are casual with just the right amount of chic. We recently saw Kiara Advani rocking this look with a monochrome vibe. She teamed her blue denim corset top with matching flared pants. Versatility is yet another great quality that this top possesses. You can go for the classic denim-on-denim look without looking boring, or LITERALLY, pair it with any bottoms you wish.
When In Doubt, Go Monochrome
The monochrome trend is currently dominating the fashion world and we’re all for it. Deepika Padukone slayed one such look as she chose to pair her sultry white corset top with white denim jeans. There’s no way you can go wrong with this combo! Pro tip: A metallic or neon handbag would be a fun way to add a playful vibe to the monotone look.
Well, the corset is a trend that is gonna be here for a really long time. It’s also the most practical piece of fashion since it can be styled in a number of ways and during summer or winter. So if you haven’t already added a couple to your wardrobe, now is the time!
