Hot girl summer just got a little hotter (and cuter).
We're big believers in wearing lingerie your way - and yes, that includes beyond the bedroom. Whether you're lounging in a bralette at brunch or turning your babydoll into a picnic dress, there are so many dreamy ways to let your lingerie see the light of day.
Ready to flirt with your wardrobe? Here are 5 styling ideas for wearing lingerie out and about this summer (without sacrificing comfort, coverage or cuteness!)
☀️ 1. The Bralette & Button-Up Combo
Style inspo: Throw a lacy or ribbed bralette under an oversized, thrifted button-up. Pair it with denim shorts or a maxi skirt for an effortlessly flirty look.
Why it works: It's breathable, easy, and shows just the right amount of skin. Plus, you can unbutton or tie up your shirt depending on your vibe.
✨ Bloom & Kin tip: Layer a dainty gold necklace to complete the look. Extra points if your bralette has bows or vintage lace!
🍦 2. Babydoll Dress = Actual Dress
Style inspo: Got a pleated or slip-style babydoll? It is a dress - trust us. Add bike shorts underneath, sandals, and a straw bag, and you're good to go!
Why it works: Flowier babydolls were made for movement and breeze. Whether it's a farmer's market or a dreamy dinner date, they give main character energy.
✨ Bloom & Kin tip: Look for styles with full coverage cups or double-layered fronts. Or simply layer a mesh tee underneath for a y2k touch.
💅 3. Lingerie as a Layering Piece
Style inspo: Pop a sheer cami or mesh slip under your summer outfit. Think under overalls, linen sets, or open back tops.
Why it works: It's giving texture, peekaboo magic, and a lil' unexpected twist - without being too much.
✨ Bloom & Kin tip: Look for pieces with ruffles, embroidery, or satin details that peek out in all the right places.
🧁 4. Corsets + Denim = Power Look
Style inspo: Pair a structured corset top or bustier with high-waisted jeans or a maxi skirt. Add platform sandals or boots for some edge!
Why it works: It hugs your curves, snatches your waist, and goes from coffee to cocktails in one bold move.
✨ Bloom & Kin tip: Keep your lingerie corset comfy by choosing thrifted soft-boned options or stretch fabrics.
🌸 5. Loungewear, But Outside
Style inspo: Pair a delicate slip or bloomers with an oversized cardigan, lace socks, and ballet flats. Coquette cottagecore, anyone?
Why it works: It's soft, pretty, and you'll feel like you just stepped out of a Pinterest board.
✨ Bloom & Kin tip: Add a ribbon in your hair and one of our thrifted slips for the ultimate garden fairy effect.
