Lingerie is no longer the secret under your sweater. It’s the outfit. The mood. The energy. At Skarlett Blue, lingerie style is personal, powerful, and too good to keep indoors.
If you’re searching how to style lingerie, what to wear over lingerie, or how to wear lingerie under clothes without losing the vibe, consider this your ultimate guide to lingerie styling that actually looks incredible IRL.
And if you’re ready to layer lace, show off straps, turn a slip into an outfit, and treat your bodysuit like the wardrobe staple it is — welcome.
Lingerie Styling 101
Before the outfits, here’s one truth: lingerie styling only works when the lingerie looks this good. That’s where lace balconettes, mesh camis, longline bras, and seamless bodysuits come in. Here’s a quick cheat sheet of what each piece pairs best with:
| Lingerie Piece | What to Wear With It | Occasion |
| Longline Lace Bras | High-waisted trousers, leather pants, oversized blazer | Dinner, nights out |
| Slip Dresses | Chunky knit cardigan, trench coat, sheer button-up | Date night or holiday parties |
| Smooth Bodysuits | Jeans, cargo pants, pencil skirts | Everyday street style |
| Mesh Camis | Blazer, fur coat, sheer top | Going-out look |
| Lace Teddies | Leather pants, wide-leg trousers | Editorial-level chic |
How to Style Lingerie Under Clothes
The best lingerie styling isn’t about hiding. It’s about controlling the reveal. Here’s how to do it like the best-dressed girl in the room that you are:
1. Let Lace Peek Out With Purpose
A longline lace bra under a blazer? Iconic.
A strap of black lace showing under a tank? Intentional.
Best picks:
- Entice Longline Lace Bra
- Minx Lace Balconette Bra
- Entice Lace Strapless Bra
2. Swap Your Top for a Bodysuit or a Teddy
The Mischief Sheer Thong Bodysuit is the “what is she wearing?” moment every outfit needs. Smooth, sculpted, and seamless under jackets, sweaters, and coats.
3. Layer Slips Like Dresses
The Entice Mini Slip is the secret weapon of lingerie styling. Wear it with:
- Cardigans
- Trench coats
- Blazers
- Knee-high boots
4. Make Mesh a Base Layer
Mesh lingerie under sheer tops = high fashion.
Try the Spellbound Mesh Cami under an open knit sweater or mesh dress.

Layering lingerie is an art. Here are the rules Skarlett Blue lives by:
