Corset Fashion Trend — How to Wear a Corset

KENDALL BESSENT

It’s true: We can acknowledge that when you think of corsets, you probably think of olden times. Or if not exactly olden times, at least period dramas on Netflix. And we get it, you’re thinking that seems like a beautiful aesthetic but hardly practical or reasonable for a day-to-day lewk. Actually, though, corsets are more than just regulars in the Bridgerton costume department. They’re becoming wardrobe staples as essential as T-shirts. No, really! They actually look good with almost anything, instantly elevating something casual or toning down something overly fussy. Not sure about it? Well…how about we have Partner Track’s Arden Cho demonstrate the trend?

First, a little more about our model:

It takes a certain level of boldness to turn down the franchise that cemented your status as a must-watch actor. Double that boldness for speaking out about your industry’s inequality, as Arden Cho did when she declined to be in the Teen Wolf movie adaptation of the show because she’d be paid far less than her costars. Triple that boldness for then taking on the role of June in the highly anticipated live-action remake of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Quadruple…kidding, you get it by now: Arden is a total badass. So take her at her word (pose?) when she shows you the brave, chic world of corset dressing in this story, then binge her just-as-juicy new legal drama Partner Track on Netflix.

Activewear? Really?

Yes, correct! Think about it this way: Sporty vibes balance out the boudoir and land you somewhere in the middle. Remember when “versatile” was just about black pants? Lol.

No one’s keeping score, but if they were, the unexpected and elite idea of putting this cincher on the outside would get all the points. Wait, should we be keeping score?
