That’s right, underwear as outerwear is making a comeback as one of the hottest trends for 2022, and we are here to help give your customers the best choices.

To test the waters, why not try adding some small adjustments to your existing outfits. Roza’s wonderfully strappy bras look fantastic under a button-down v-neck shirt. Similarly, you can
wear a chemise or petticoat slightly longer than your dress or skirt; there is something slightly erotic about the having a bit of lace peeking from under your clothes onto your skin, something the experts have been doing since before Victorian times.
If you feel like being a bit more daring, why not try swapping an item of clothing for a piece of lingerie? Provocative’s Basques and corsets look great with jeans and skirts, and some of the wide selection of bodystocking designs we have at Alterego are also easy and versatile items to incorporate into an outfit. They look incredible, plus, if your shirt always comes untucked, they will save your life!
Chemises and bodies are actually very versatile choices, they will not only be very comfortable,
they will also add bit of spice to even the most boring pair of jeans. Alterego’s top tips for you are firstly, to make sure your lingerie as outerwear outfit works, just treat it as you would any other outfit. Also, use accessories to add another dimension and personalise your look. You can also mix-and match your fabrics, understand what makes you feel comfortable and apply those concepts to your lingerie. For example, not everyone likes to show a bare midriff, so you can incorporate some type of shapewear for definition and coverage. Check out some of the gorgeous Control Body collection for help with this. It may take you a few tries to get the look you want but playing with lingerie is always fun, especially if he helps!
