1. Slip Dress
If you are running late, it is easy to throw on a slip dress with a leather jacket and a pair of cute boots.
A comfortable slip is perfect when running errands, it is one of the most versatile pieces of lingerie and can be paired with almost any jacket. A short slip can be worn over a T-shirt for more coverage and comfort as well.
2. Bustier
Bustiers are the perfect piece for a night out. A bustier can be easily layered or can be worn as a top on its own.
Bustiers can be worn for more than just a night out and can be styled more formally with a pair of dress pants and a blazer.
3. Camisole
Camisoles can move seamlessly from underwear to outerwear. A plain, lace-trimmed camisole paired with a maxi skirt is one way to make your outfit stand out and still be comfortable, but if you want to go for a more casual look, you can pair a camisole with a pair of denim shorts or jeans.

Corsets are one of the most commonly used and well-known pieces of lingerie. Beginning from medieval times and continuing until World War I, corsets were commonly used as shapewear under a woman’s gown.
Now corsets have made a comeback, commonly being styled as outerwear.
Corsets can be paired with skirts to create a beautiful silhouette and escalate the look. While it may seem somewhat unconventional, a corset can also be paired with pants to create a more unique outfit.
