UNDERWEAR AS OUTERWEAR TRENDS 2024
It’s a fact; we’ll forever love styling underwear as outerwear, and having our loveliest lingerie pieces on show. Whether it’s bralettes and bodysuits or suspenders and hosiery, there’s a myriad of luxe ways to make this trend work.
AN UNDERWEAR AS OUTERWEAR CLASSIC: LINGERIE TOPS
A trend that endures the test of time, you can never go wrong with a longline bra or bodysuit as a lingerie top.
The Winona longline bra is simply stunning. Delicate floral lace brings a feminine element, and clever boning brings a structured fit. Create the ultimate sexy black outfit by pairing it with a loose trouser and a high heel.
A lace bodysuit made for flaunting underwear as outerwear is the Yonina body. It features an elegant high neck, gorgeous eyelash lace and a delicate open back. Pair it with a mini skirt for that high-low balance, and embrace showing off your luxury lingerie.
The Kollette longline bra is bright, lacy and beautiful. A gorgeous way to incorporate a lingerie top into your outfit without sacrificing a pop of colour, we love it as part of a double denim look, so keep the jacket and jeans matching and let this lingerie top be the star of the show.
THE NO PANTS TREND
The pantless trend is happening - and you can easily jump on board. Gracing the runways and red carpets, it’s a ‘just underwear’ trend we’re here for. It’s all about pairing tights and knickers, without adding a skirt or dress over the top…
Our Chief Design & Product Officer, Zoe Price-Smith’s expert advice for pulling off this style is to opt for a full knicker brief look over a thong, the larger the knickers the better! You will want the briefs in either a cotton or microfibre smoothing fabric, preferably in black or white.
Pairing high-waisted knickers under your tights, for a no-pants look will give you a polished luxury look especially when layered with an oversized blazer, shirt or coat.
We recommend the Bonded high-waisted briefs, for a seamless style that fits and flatters.
Add the Fishnet tights for a grungier feel, or slip on the Micro spot tights for a high-end fashion look - they’re cute, elegant and crafted from the finest Italian yarn.
THE VISIBLE STOCKINGS & SUSPENDERS TREND
One for a sexy date outfit or a night out - flashing suspender straps, hold-ups or sexy stockings will never go out of style…
Add hold-ups into your outfit rotations for hosiery with a sexier edge. The hint of a visible hold-up is the perfect way to subtly embrace the underwear-as-outerwear trend. The Black plain top hold-ups are a classic choice, or you could add in a pop of colour with the Blue plain top hold-ups.
Florals for spring may not be ‘groundbreaking’ but they do look gorgeously feminine. So, grab the Flora suspender belt and let floral embroidery and decorative bows take you to pastel-hued heaven. The pastel blue shade will look oh-so coquettish poking through a slit in your favourite springtime midi dress.
The Yvonne leg harness keeps things sexy and sweet. Pair it under a sheer dress, for all eyes to see.
UNDERWEAR AS OUTERWEAR: LAYERING BRA TOPS
Layering is an essential part of pulling off the underwear as outerwear trend, and it’s so easy to do.
In a nod to hot harness styling, wear your bra top over a crisp white shirt, or keep it casual with a plain white tee - try the Leeta balconette bra to start. A luxe lace underband and keyhole cutouts add the prettiest touches to this versatile piece.
You can create a corset-esque look by layering a longline bra over a loose dress or tee too. Try this trend out by pairing the Tara longline basque over your favourite black boxy tee.
THE VISIBLE THONG…
Yes, the visible thong still holds b, and it’s a look to emulate in 2024 more than ever before.
Have your favourite thong peek above those jeans or cargo pants. Go pretty and princess-like with the Quinn thong (sparkles and winglike sides feel so special), the shimmering Millie thong, or the functional yet fabulous Ella microfibre high-leg tanga thong.
Or, opt for sheer chic and wear your very VPL under a see-through dress: The Roxanne thong helps you rock a classic thong style, complete with lavish lace touches. Or, choose coverage, comfort and added sparkles with the Ella microfibre high-waisted thong.
Either way, daring to bare in a way that works for you will have you channelling your inner Dua Lipa in no time!
