Be it “naked dressing,” extreme low-rise pants paired with bra tops à la Julia Fox, or lace lingerie outfits as ready-to-wear, showing skin is in. We saw lots of lingerie dressing on the spring 2022 runways—from Gucci’s logo lace nightwear to Miu Miu’s bra tops—and it seems like the sultry trend isn’t going anywhere. Case in point, today at Fendi’s Fall 2022 show in Milan, we saw delicately sheer, undie-revealing garments, and bustier and corset elements added to leather and wool tops. The show was a guarantee that lingerie-inspired looks and the subtle reveal are sticking around for yet another season.
Celebrities have also supported boudoir dressing well beyond the bedroom, from Gigi Hadid’s red carpet look for the Savage x Fenty show to Kylie Jenner’s LaQuan Smith catsuit. Most recently, however, Meghan Thee Stallion showed off a lace bra under a leather blazer at the Super Bowl after-party. For more inspiration on how to style balconette bras, lace bodysuits, and bustiers for a night out, and where to shop them, look no further than these five lingerie outfits below.
Balconette Bodysuits
A lace bodysuit, leather trousers, and pair of pumps is a total no-fail outfit formula when it comes to a going-out look. For a retro, boudoir feel, opt for one with balconette cups and a boned corset bodice like Dakota Johnson’s.
Soft Bralettes
Dainty lace bralettes deserve to be shown off, and a full suiting look is just the way to put them on display. Coordinating tailoring adds a bit of sophistication to the reveal, and you’re in control of how much you would like to show underneath.
Bustiers
Take it from January Vogue cover star Olivia Wilde, sexy corsets and bustiers can be paired with clothes that are totally not revealing or sexy. The juxtaposition and balance work well. Here, Wilde wears her two-part lingerie look (bralette and corset) with a midi skirt and flat boots. Another idea? Try wearing Alexander McQueen’s strapless bustier or similar styles over a classic white button-up shirt.

Lace Catsuits
Wearing a lace catsuit on its own is certainly for those with daring style. Though you can wear the second-skin lace as a full-body layering piece. Try wearing a frilled skirt over and a strapless top under and the bodysuit will act like a pair of tights and a mesh long-sleeve top.
Bra Tops
Meghan Thee Stallion makes the case for a lace-leather combination for the ultimate night-out attire. A leather blazer and mini skirt have been celebrity go-tos for going-out clothes, so why not add a bra top too?
