Underbust Corset Styling Tips

Underbust corsets are the unsung heroes of lingerie styling. Whether it’s a full underbust corset, or a waspie belt, these underrated intimates have the ability to take an otherwise simple outfit and turn it into a statement look.

Keep reading for some outfit inspiration, as to how you can incorporate these pieces into your daily style staples.

Style the Clara Underbust corset with a simple shirt and mini skirt to give the look some elevated consideration. The addition of this lacy underbust corset not only brings shape definition to the otherwise rather formless ensemble, it brings in additional textures in the form of lace panels, which are amplified with the contrasting white fabric underneath. Chunky ankle boots add some edge and contrast to the otherwise feminine look, whilst a ribbon adorned baguette bag and playful earrings balance out the boots. Slip on some slick sunnies that compliment your other accessories for a youthful but edgy look.

Mean business in the boardroom, and incorporate the Vivienne Waspie belt into your workwear. Using timeless staple pieces as the base to your look, start by slipping into tailored black wide leg pants and a crisp white shirt. Otherwise a rather shapeless silhouette, by slipping on the Vivienne belt, the underbust corset automatically cinches the silhouette to define a more feminine figure. The mixture of opaque and translucent panels adds a fashion forward edge, pushing the idea of office wear beyond the mundane. Pointy slingbacks maintain a classic but stylish focus on foot, whilst simple accessories such as an understated purse and simple drop earrings keep the outfit fuss-free.

Layering corsets does not stop simply at layering over shirts. With fully adjustable fit features, the lace-up back of the Clara Underbust corset allows you to create your desired fit, no matter how many layers underneath. Perfect for a cooler evening where you may need some extra coverage, but you don’t want to compromise your style or shape. Layer the Clara Underbust corset over a statement blazer for some figure defining accentuation. Paired with a mini skirt still allows you to flaunt your luscious legs, without feeling excessively exposed due to the full-coverage torso. Counteract the sharp suiting elements with some soft feminine accessories; pointed slingbacks with giant bow details, strings of frosty pearls and subtle silver jewellery, with an understated black bag.
