Lingerie in the Limelight
Not hiding the lace: the ever continual trend for underwear to transform into outerwear reaches a peak this weekend. If you were lucky enough to receive sexy lingerie this weekend, don't put it away just yet. These sexy skivvies aren't just limited to special occasions or Valentine's Day. More and more lacy bustiers, silk camis, satin garter belts, and lace-trimmed bras are finding their way into day-today outfits. The fashion trend aims to add a touch of feminine je ne sais quoi to power pantsuits and evening attire. Undergarments transcending into street wear has been an ongoing trend for decades. We attribute this trend to couture fashion designer John Galliano who first shed light on garters and corsets last summer in Christian Dior's Fall 2009 couture collection. Galliano has always been known for his creative use of bustiers. Galliano decided to stay with his trend of using sexy lingerie as an inspiration for Dior's Spring 2010 pret-a-porter line. In this economy, may people are trying to buy a piece that can functionl in multiple ways. A beautiful bustier purchased can give the owner many advantages for fashion, for shape, or romance.
Other top designers following the trend include Stella McCartney and Chanel among many others. It's definitely something we've seen on the runways before, but has definitely taken the lead in trends since S/S 09. Buyers at boutiques around Edmonton mention that lace has been the rage for fall and spring.
Lace is typically considered romantic and whimsical, adding sex appeal that's not over the top. Sexy costumes and sexy lingerie typically add lace just for that reason. The great thing about lace is that it can be layered, and the wearer can decide just how much skin to reveal.
A black bra can even be worn with a semi transparent top for an almost like wearing lingerie look. When put together right, undergarments as outerwear can be considered a classy statement piece.
There's also a new trend of lace bandeaus being used with tank tops. They give an accent to oversized tanks.
For more revealing and what one would think to be less transferrable items like satin teddies, we've seen many women pairing these sexy teddies sometimes in silk or trimmed with lace with jeans or leggings. The work as a top and for pieces that are more sheer, they can easily be used for layering under a blazer or cardigan.
Stylists suggest to be bold and don't be afraid. Throw out traditional rules and pair thinks that you thought you weren't supposed to do before. If you're wearing a sheer blouse, try wearing a cute printed or lace bra underneath. Those who prefer not to show off too much skin can still achieve this sexy lingerie look by incorporating nudes or blushes into their wardrobes, or letting the lace and frills peek out from under cardigans and jackets. Sexy bras and lingerie become an accessory and basic for layering with this method. This look can go a long way for women to boost their self-esteem and to feel pretty. Thanks to fashion trends for the reminder, women can incorporate this versatility of undergarments into their everyday outerwear wardrobe.
