Corset tops and leggings anyone?
November 28th, 2009
Those of you who are already fans of the sequinned hot pant trend may be happy to hear that underwear continues to be the new outerwear.
You only need to open a magazine or switch on the television to see the likes of Scarlett Johannsen, Rihanna, Chloe Sevigny and Lady Gaga in a corseted or underwear-like creation.
Lucy Ballinger at the Daily Mail said that the popularity of designer corsets and underwear as outerwear among celebrities like these ladies has helped in making this a trend on the high street.
"If you are daring enough, you could pair a corset with leggings and go out clubbing or to a party. But they can also be worn in the boudoir," suggested Alex Popa, founder of Bordelle, in the publication. But for those of you who aren’t so daring, here at Secret Sales we think that straight leg jeans might be a little more flattering.
Recently, a sale of corsets by the firm at Selfridges sold out within just one day and according to the department store, fashion girdle sales have risen by 70 per cent in the capital.
Head buyer for lingerie at the retailer Helen Attwood told the newspaper that people were investing in designer underwear and "more quality pieces" during the recession, rather than items that get thrown away.
Last weekend (November 22nd) Rihanna performed at the American Music Awards wearing a revealing bandage-effect outfit.
Will you be daring enough to brave the trend? Let me know.
