Long gone are the days when underthings were for your eyes only. Corsets, bustiers, and slip dresses are all considered wardrobe essentials now—case in point: Dolce Gabbana’s floral corset top, worn here by Devyn Garcia five ways. In a second-skin fabrication of nylon and spandex, the textile is pieced together to mold to your figure, with a rear zip fastener that takes the work out of getting dressed.
As she struts around the just-opened Hotel Chelsea, see Garcia pair the look with some Good American cargo pants; slip it over a crisp oxford skirt from Cos; and layer it beneath a vibrant Stella McCartney coat. Did someone say flower power? Dressed up or pared down, a bustier top from Dolce Gabbana gives petal a little extra mettle.
Café Society
Garcia takes her coffee with a side of Italian élan in a Dolce Gabbana corset—but she brings it back home with a pair of cargo-pocketed Good American pants and the label’s Cinderella-inspired shoes. The finishing touch? Uniform Object’s diamond-dotted gold hoops.
Pink Matter
Pin-neat shirting spiffs things up a bit—and throws a warming glow onto sun-kissed summer skin. Garcia opts for a crisp Cos shirt beneath her Dolce Gabbana corset, which comes in many colorways and silhouettes—because a girl needs options! On her ears, a single Alexander McQueen earring.
Wall Flowers
Care to turn up the heat? Try a full Dolce Gabbana getup, beginning with—yes—a bustier top, coupled with a perfectly fitted pencil skirt. And don’t forget the bijoux! Consider fine jewelry earrings and a necklace from the Italian house. Finally, a pair of simple heeled sandals.
Go Bold
If you must cover up that fetching floral print, do it with something that makes a statement all its own…something like this vivid Stella McCartney coat. The look is punctuated perfectly with a pair of white Levi’s and a simple Roxanne Assoulin stone necklace.
Read All About It
An Altuzarra dress, with delicate pleats in a faux-leather fabric, adds a touch of drama—and layers on the charm. (The spangly Altuzarra belt adds to the effect, too.) Here, the corset is worn the traditional way, as underwear, but the peekaboo effect still allows the piece to shine.
