Reader’s Request: Bustier Trend

Reader Tenee sent in this request:

“I bought a bustier a while back because it looked cute on the manequin. Now I have no clue what to pair it with, without looking trashy. How can I rock this look?”

The bustier trend is one that is diefficult to execute without looking inapproriate. Yes I know the bustier is not meant to be shown, but in fashion, most of the rules are broken.

One way that you can rock the bustier during the day is with a white oxford shirt or simple button up. With the oxford/button up you can unbutton the first few buttons at the top. Pair it with skinny jeans, cigarette pants, or a pencil skirt and you are good to go.

I would personally on rock the bustier at night so I created 1 night look, one day look and a transitional look

Here are the three (3) looks I created for Tenee. Here is one

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE everything about this look. The top, the pants, the shoes. Yes it is out of my price range, but you can get the picture of the look I was going for. You can pair any pair of pants (not jeans) preferably one that is high-waisted or with a tapered leg, the bustier top, neon color bag, and a great platform heel to accomplish this look.

Look #2

How to Wear: Bustier Tops by Janique-HGB featuring stretch jeans

Look #2 might be my favorite. I love a wide leg trouser jean, and the wash on these jeans from 7 for all mankind is awesome. I love dark denim because it makes an outfit look more chic in my opinion. I love the contrast from the fitted bustier to the wide leg pant. The red heel is a lot of fun and to throw in more color I added a yellow bag.

Look #3

This look is common when it comes to bustier tops. Throw on a fitted skirt with a blazer for a more polished look. When you are out on a date or having drinks with the girls, take the blazer off and you are ready to party.
