How to Wear Lingerie as Outerwear

With warm weather (hopefully!) right around the corner, I’ve started to imagine different ways to wear lingerie as outerwear. As evidenced by the ensembles I styled, I have a slight obsession with camisoles, which works out well because they’re perfect for layering. Do you have any innerwear you’ll be wearing as outerwear this season? I’d love to hear how you’ll style it or if you adopt any of these looks! {To find out more about each outfit, follow the link to my Polyvore page – the details are all there.}

ari dein set

Ari Dein’s lovely combination of peach colored lace over luxurious black silk will make you feel like the most beautiful girl in the world. Envision: a walk on the beach at dusk with a warm, salt water breeze tousling your hair (so, really, no shoes necessary!).

zinke set

Sugar (those sweet little buttons), spice (the sheerness) and everything nice – this sunny, sweet halter top by Zinke, my favorite lingerie designer duo, could be worn in so many scenarios, but it’s airiness and resemblance to a fizzy, refreshing mimosa makes it perfect for a leisurely Sunday brunch.

stella mccartney set

The unique print on Stella McCartney’s Ida Driving Camisole is nothing but pretty, which  is the perfect complement to a femme fatale look a la Kate Lanphear, one of my favorite fashion editors.

fleur of england set

Neon is so summer sexy, especially when it’s designed in lace and a flattering silhouette. I couldn’t picture it here, but I’d totally wear this awesome babydoll over an LBD or as a top under a pencil mini skirt for an eccentric spin.

    What excellent ideas! I think I’d wear them all… I especially love the last one with the neon top. The black bra is a great idea to pair with it!

  6. These are fabulous suggestions. I like the first with the Ari Dein top and the lovely pleated maxi, definitely something I would wear for summer. In fact I love that skirt so much I need to find out more….!
