A corset has long since evolved from its initial archaic function. Originally created in the 16th century, this body-restricting garment was meant to cinch a woman’s waist for a more streamlined and tinier silhouette. Fast forward to today, this piece has been reimagined into something resembling less of a torture device and more of a chic closet staple.
Corset tops now still offer that figure-shaping feature that we know, but we love them more for their structured boned bodice that can instantly give any outfit a polished yet sultry look. Not only that, these tops come in a plethora of styles to suit whatever you fancy! May it be a laidback or dressy aesthetic, you can count on a trusty corset to give your ensemble that flair you didn’t know it needed.
Below we listed down several OOTDs we’ve seen on local influencers featuring this all-around piece to give you ideas on how to style it. Keep on scrolling!
LOOK: Chic and Effortless Corset Top OOTDs That Are Influencer-Approved
1. Blazer + Corset Top + Trousers + Heels
If you're looking for a fail-proof outfit combos, then you can never go wrong with an oversized blazer and baggy pants! As seen here on Angelique, the form-fitting silhouette of her corset top was balanced out by the boxy silhouette of her outerwear piece and the loose cut of her bottoms. For a more polished ensemble, do as she does and opt for one color scheme to tie the entire look together!
2. Leather Corset Top + Denim Jeans + Sneakers + Handbag
Take style cues from Rhea and don’t be afraid to team different textures together. Here, the influencer was spotted partnering her brown leather corset top with a pair of light-wash denim jeans. The leather material gave her ensemble an edgy touch while her denim jeans kept an overcall casual vibe to her look. Finishing off her look were her trusty Off-White sneakers and a handbag.
3. Printed Corset Top + Black Jeans + Sneakers + Handbag
Donning print-on-print might be a tad daunting, but you can easily dodge a fashion faux pas by coupling a busy print with something in a solid color. Case in point: Aika who balanced out her orange corset top’s playful pattern with a pair of black denim bottoms.
4. Silk Corset Top + Denim Mini Skirt + Jewelry + Shoulder Bag
If you’re leaning towards a more feminine aesthetic, then we suggest trying out a silk corset top! Not only is it incredibly elegant, it’s also a versatile piece that you can style in several ways. You could team it with a matching silk pair of bottoms for a dressier feel, but a more laidback approach would be partnering it with a denim skirt just like what Aika did here.
5. Corset Top + Midi Skirt + Heels
Here’s a surefire way to spice up your corset top! As demonstrated by Toni, she paired it with a slit midi skirt and slipped on some clear PVC pumps for an instant high-impact look. Together with her copper locks, she definitely channeled a sultry siren aura!
6. Corset Top + Printed Pants
A white crop top is an essential in anyone’s wardrobe but in 2022, we can count a white corset as a closet staple, too. While a relatively plain piece on its own, it can be spruced up with the right pair of bottoms. As seen on Ashley, her outfit comprising of a white corset top was given an added flair thanks to her pinstripe trousers.
7. Denim Corset Top + Denim Jeans + Hand Bag
Making a case for double-denim is Rei who was spotted in a denim corset top and matching jeans. She injected a pop of color into her ‘fit by way of a statement-making blue Balenciaga purse. Completing her casual OOTD were dainty touches of gold jewelry on her neck and arms.
