What you may not know is that there are colors out there which are called pseudo-neutrals (burgundy, olive, forest green, and rust orange) and they go with nearly everything, having almost as much potential as a neutral while being much more interesting to look at than a standard neutral. So, without further ado, let's get to my three tips for wearing Corset Tops.
Tip 4: Choose a High Waist
This tip especially applies if
you’re wearing a crop top as I am. A little bit
of midriff showing can be quite nice, especially on the beach, etc. with a cute
cotton peekaboo dress. But in this instance,
it’s important remember that you’re already showing a lot of skin around your
shoulders, neck, and chest, so showing off the tummy too can be way too much
flesh and create a bawdy look. To keep
it classy, choose a midi or high waist skirt or pants to pair with the bustier. When it comes to skin, less really is more.
Tip 5: Wear a Nice Jacket
I emphasize the word nice, because very often when we plan
our outfits, we don’t consider outer wear.
The jacket or coat you choose can’t be an after thought to the outfit as
you’re heading out the door. Let’s face
it, if you’re feeling insecure, you’re unlikely to take your jacket off, it’s
like a security blanket, and that’s fine, but it should be just as stunning and
well fitting as the rest of your outfit and look like it was deliberately chosen,
not like something you just grabbed as you dashed out. Can you imagine this outfit with a hoodie or
a denim jacket? I can’t. It would look like I was on my way somewhere
when something terrible happened and a stranger was trying to comfort me. No.
Way. Get a proper jacket that
fits well, goes with your outfit and is on a par with the level of style of
your outfit. In speaking of the jacket
as a “security blanket” I’d like to add here, that if you feel the need and if
it would give you more confidence, you could even add a sheer form fitting top
to layer under your Corset Top. That would
be better than a schlubby jacket. I won’t
show you that sort of layered look in this post, because as I mentioned, this
time I’m all in for something bold, but I do have past posts where I
demonstrated that look.
You can't pull off wearing something as bold as a Corset Top if you don't have a little spunk and self assurance. All of your insecurities are readily visible in the way you carry yourself. So, stand up straight! If you need to put a picture of
your grandmother on your phon looking fierce and pointing her finger at you to remind yourself to stand-up straight (chin up,
shoulders back) then do it, because poor posture can ruin any gorgeous outfit,
but particularly when you’re wearing something as alluring as a Corset Top,
hunched shoulders and back, chin drooped, and tummy protruding, does not say
smart, strong, or elegant. Posture is
such a simple thing that makes such a huge difference and there’s even evidence
to support the idea that standing up straight sends a cue to your brain that
you are standing up straight because you feel confident and as a result, you
start to feel more confident*.
As for accessories for this outfit,
I changed things up a bit. I kept the
jewelry smaller and more delicate than last time, and I always recommend a
clutch rather than a bulky bag for this look, but those sassy sunnies are a
must for both. Then just sit back—but not
too slouchily--and prepare to be stared at in a very positive way.
