Slip of a Thing
Not ready to walk around with an exposed bra quite yet? Start off with your slip dress. Remember that it looks just as good with things layered underneath as it does worn with jackets. This brown slip dress with ruffled yellow top is proof of that.
Purrrfect Pajama Dressing
When it comes to pajama dressing, it's all about finding the right balance. You want to look effortless, but not like you just crawled out of bed. Get the vibe right by adding some structure into the mix with a mini box bag and some heels. Don't forget that a sleek hairstyle will also help elevate things.
Sheer Brilliance
Tank tops under sheer shirts is a no-fail style. If you're searching for something a little sexier, swap your tank for a bra. Go for coordinating shades on top, then add some color with your pants.
Just a Hint
Not sure where to begin? This is a great starting point for newbies to the trend. This blouse is just sheer enough so you can see her bra peeking out from underneath. For a cool vibe, stick with a coordinating color palette like her bronze, gold and orange one.
Blushing Beauty
Don't forget about your robe when you're playing around with underwear as outerwear. Oversized robe coats were a big trend on the runway. She's wearing a blush robe over her sheer lace top and black bra. The hint of the top peeking out combined with the blush and black color combination is very elegant.
Show Some Skin
Ready for the full-on sheer dress with bra and panties? Go for it, but remember that you need something to balance out the boudoir vibe. That's where your sneakers and a cotton hoodie come in handy.
Classic With a Twist
Break up that cami and shorts set by wearing the top as part of your day look. Throw it over a white blouse and a midi skirt for a unique twist on a classic work ensemble.
Accessories Are Key
A pajama look plus a lacy bralette may seem like a dangerous combination, but the fit of this outfit and the accessories keep it street chic. The cut of her co-ords is perfect and there are no I-slept-in-it creases. The heeled sandals and dainty jewelry make it clear that this is pajama dressing instead of simply PJs.
Peek-a-Bra
Don't show your entire bra if you don't feel comfortable. A cool bra peeking out from under an oversized blazer is subtly sexy. Pair it with shorts and tall boots or thigh-high socks for a cool finish.
Black and White and So Right
Your negligee isn't just for bedtime, it also works for evenings out. Swap the slippers for ankle boots and leather leggings. Top the ensemble off with a fuzzy black jacket and a choker and no one will accuse you of wearing your nightgown out.
Balance It Out
Feeling bold? Rock a lacy bralette underneath a fine fishnet top. Balance it out with a pair of high-waisted, wide-leg pants and a chunky belt. If you're feeling a bit exposed, you can always add a biker jacket.
Rock Your Robe
When it comes to wearing a robe coat, think about what things you wouldn't wear with a robe around the house. You can get away with wearing your bra top underneath when you pair it with a baseball cap, chunky boots and a chain-strap bag.
Reveal and Conceal
Think about your entire ensemble instead of only your underwear. The brown skirt and pants contrast the more revealing lace top and peekaboo bra.
Black Magic
The rule about how you can never go wrong if you wear black also applies to the underwear as outerwear trend. An all-black color palette allows the different sheer fabrics to be the focus. Add in some sheer tights for another twist on the reveal and conceal look.
Ditch the Shirt
Your bra and your blazer are one of the best combos when it comes to showing off your bras. Swap your usual top for a bra under your jacket. Pair it with high-waisted trousers like you would your crop top.
Create Some Contrast
Take your tweed coordinates from day to evening with some help from a lace bralette. Chunky black boots and a box chain-strap bag throw some edginess into the mix.
Slouchy Chic
This is what they mean when they talk about effortless dressing. All of these pieces look so easy, but they're also very stylish. The silver metallic pants contrast the floral robe coat.
Not Basic Black
This outfit has so many style ideas to steal. The half-on jacket and the tall boots with cropped pants are two good ideas, but it is the black bra under the embellished tunic that we're really focusing on. It makes the whimsical style look badass.
