Sporting lingerie outside the bedroom is becoming more acceptable these days. Designers have been showing boudoir-inspired pieces for some time now, but possibly because we've all been at home more, the lines between intimates and ready-to-wear have become more blurred. The idea is that you can be playful with hints of lace or satin, but mix it with your everyday wardrobe. Think: a knit bralette under a cardigan or a ribbed bodysuit with your favorite slouchy blazer and high-waist denim. With outfit inspo from cheeky lace to demure slips, there is something for everyone. Here are some of our favorites to try.
Try a printed satin R13 Back Tie Slip Dress ($725) with sneakers and a cozy knit for day.
The knit bralette is officially here to stay. Wear this Bandier X Brodie Cashmere Bra ($128) under cardigans or layered over a white tee.
A lace camisole is a must-own for any wardrobe. Wear this Cami NYC Ivory The Everly lace-trimmed silk-charmeuse camisole ($160) with denim, peeking out of an oversize knit, or under blazers.
Try this lace Babaton Encore Bodysuit ($58) and bra combo under a chunky cardigan.
Many brands have a crossover feel between lingerie and ready-to-wear. The Doen Fraise Dress ($248) is light and airy but still has a romantic, casual feel.
Satin fabric is a nice alternative to a flat cotton bra under an all-cream look. Shop this Mango Ruched Satin Bra ($28), for example.
A satin cami, like this Torrid Challis design ($40), and skirt create a dress effect. Play with light, complementary colors and try it with white sneakers.
This classic V-front Madewell Richer Poorer Classic Bralette ($32) is the perfect underpinning for knits.
This Fleur Du Mal Knit Corset Top ($275) is tailored and modern with your favorite high-rise denim.
If lace isn't your thing, try a simple '90s inspired, ribbed bodysuit like this Mango Suit ($60).
Slip skirts are so versatile. Style the Vince Slip Skirt ($265) for day with your coziest cream knit and delicate layered necklaces.
