Faster than a shopaholic at the cash counter, the clothing industry is evolving. Hot, new fashions are constantly surfacing, trending and becoming outdated in a vicious, endless cycle known as the world of fashion.
And it’s one of those outdated fashions that’s now all the rage.
All the way back from the Victorian era, the tight, waist-cinching, torso-training undergarment has made a comeback. Oh yes, the corset, a blast from the past, has now started appearing everywhere. With social media stars, high- profile celebrities and luxury companies advocating on its behalf, it’s no wonder everyone wants to get their hands on the garment.
But hey, fashion styles change as fashion styles do, and corsets aren’t worn in the form of underclothing anymore.
So, if you’re feeling a little confused, wondering exactly how to go about wearing a corset in the 21st century, stay with us and we’ll guide you to the perfect way to rock a corset.
But first, we’ll provide you with a little background information: What is a corset?
Corsets have been around for centuries, their first use dating back to around the 16th century. They were originally worn as undergarments to give a desirable shape to the body. And essentially, create an hourglass figure.
Much of the practice shaped up (hey, a pun!) a controversy due its adverse health effects. It eventually fell out of use.
Corsets today, have been reimagined as outerwear, a top or blouse, for example.
In imitation of the corset’s original style and purpose, these modern corsets involve lacing and boning, adding a touch of vintage glamour to even the most up-to-date outfit.. However, unlike the older versions, contemporary corsets do not serve the purpose of shaping the body and training the waist. They usually only enhance and highlight the body’s natural structure. And that’s because we finally see that all body types are beautiful, and everyone, no matter their body type, can rock a corset.
Which brings us to our topic, how exactly is one supposed to style a centuries-old undergarment without looking like a member of a history re-enactment club?
Fear not! We’ve got your answer. Just read on to find out!
This trend is a big one, and we don’t blame you for trying it out. But if you aren’t sure exactly how to style one, hang on tight, because we’re your trusty steed, ready to guide you through the hurdles of fashion.
