Lingerie-inspired fashion ensembles to take you from dreamland to daytime

We’re always on the lookout for easy outfits to help us deal with the sometimes-oppressive summer heat, so we’re pretty excited that lingerie-inspired dressing is having a moment. This trend might sound a little risqué, but not to worry — we’ve got your guide on how to incorporate the lightness and airiness of loungewear and lingerie into your everyday wardrobe.
Lingerie as Outerwear
Delicate lace, slip tops , and corset-inspired details can bring a soft yet fashion-forward touch to everyday dressing. Styled with oversized blazers, tailored pants, or sleek denim, these feminine elements feel polished, modern, and effortlessly on-trend.
The Slip Dress
The slip dress is one of many 90s trends that are making a comeback, and it’s not hard to see why. They’re simple but sleek, lightweight and breezy, and you can style it basically any way you want — perfect for those lazy days when you don’t want to think too much about what to wear. Just throw on a cardigan or kimono (see below) if you don’t want to bare too much skin.

Co-Ords + Kimono
Nothing screams summer like a flowy kimono, and an extra long one is pretty reminiscent of a bedroom robe, especially with floral prints. Keep up the lingerie look by wearing a coordinated cami and shorts set underneath.

Dainty Details
If a full lingerie-inspired fashion is a little too much for you, you can still rock the trend with delicate details — think lace hems and fringes, bustier or corset tops (bonus points if they’re lacy), and sheer details. Pair with more formal pieces, like a blazer or structured trousers, to dress it up a bit and play with contrasts.

Lingerie-inspired fashion is proof that the most delicate details can make the boldest style statement. When styled with confidence and balanced with polished separates, this trend feels less daring and more effortlessly chic. Whether you lean into lace, satin, or corset-inspired accents, it is all about embracing femininity in a modern, and wearable way.
