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.
