Almost every girl watches Alessandra Ambrosio strut down the runway in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show wearing an incredibly gorgeous black lace bustier and lusts over lingerie that is to die for. We spend hours scouring Agent Provocateur looking at bras that only Blair Waldorf could pull off (or afford), but lingerie isn’t all bras and garter straps. Many designer brands have hopped on the lingerie bandwagon making pieces so cute they can’t be limited to the bedroom. This Fashionista shows us how to take our favorite negligee or silky pajama top, and turn it into an outfit that wont have us mistaken for a Victoria’s Secret Angel (although we certainly wouldn’t protest)!
The most important part of incorporating lingerie into an outfit is keeping the rest of the outfit fairly simple to let the lingerie shine and to keep it tasteful. This Fashionista does this by keeping it classic on the bottom with a pair of dark wash jeans. A great pair to recreate this look are the “Nico” Skinny Jeans in Oracle by Hudson Jeans. To add some extra oomph and keep with the sultry bedroom theme, our Fashionista chose a pair of over-the-knee black heeled boots, a great trick to get the mile long legs of a model without growing an extra foot! This gorgeous pair from Stuart Weitzman was a hit in the Hollywood crowd with everyone from models Gigi Hadid and Karlie Kloss to reality stars like Kourtney Kardashian.
For the star of the show, the lingerie, this Fashionista chose a lacy, silk top from Free People Intimates. This line of their brand is the perfect destination to start off your wearable lingerie wardrobe. They feature everything from slinky tops like the one featured to adorable nightgowns and intricate bralettes. She topped it off with a leather jacket which gives a nice contrast to the more feminine top.
