Only a decade ago, a corset was considered to be an undergarment and could be rarely seen worn by women outside. However, corsets recently went through an impressive transformation and went from being mostly shapewear to being one of the most coveted fashion items. Here is how to rock a corset in your style!

1. Types of corsets
To an untrained eye, all corsets may seem similar or even exactly the same. But the truth is that there are several very distinctive types of corsets that have different features and are used in different styles. Here are the types of corsets you need to know about:

- Underbust corsets, which begin just below you breasts and end in the lower part of your midsection. These corsets may differ in materials, silhouettes, availability of straps, and the amount of support they give to your back and shoulders, but the main idea behind an underbust corset remains the same.

- Overbust corsets, which stretch from your underarms to your hips. These corsets fully cover your breasts and offer great support for your back and shoulders. Moreover, they highlight your waist and give your figure an hourglass look. Overbust corsets generally look more demure and can be built into many different outfits.

- Bustier, which is actually not a corset but shares many features with it. A bustier is designed to lift up your breasts and give you a more appealing cleavage. However, bustiers don’t make any difference in your waist area and are generally worn underneath the clothes, not on top of it.

2. How to wear a corset
Corsets can be very tricky to incorporate into your outfit: when you wear a corset as the main part of your look, it’s very easy to go overboard and look tacky instead of tasteful. Here are some tips on how to wear a corset and look like the trendiest and most elegant person around:

- A brocade corset in a deep jewel or dark tone with a matching skirt makes a great look for a formal event such as a wedding or party. In that case, your skirt should be long enough to create a tasteful look.
- A corset can be the perfect way to spice up your favourite skinny jeans. Pair the jeans and the corset with low-heel shoes for a casual look or pumps and a fancy clutch for a gorgeous outfit when going out.
- If you have a trendy white shirt that has a rather loose fit, pairing it with a corset will give your waist some definition. This outfit can be worn to all kinds of occasions, including an office with a relaxed dress-code.
- Choose a contrasting coloured corset to wear with your favourite dress to create an interesting effect. This outfit may be bold, but it will effortlessly upgrade your fashion status.
- Not ready to go for a full corset? You can start by casually incorporating a corset belt into your style. Corset belts are much easier to pair with other clothes and don’t look too extravagant for beginner fashionistas.
