9 Brands Creating Lingerie-Inspired Outerwear

  |   By Estelle Puleston

I’m sure you’ve all heard of the lingerie as outerwear trend by now. But what do you do when you love the idea, yet going out in your smalls seems a little too daring? Enter these nine brands making everything from skirts to coats, all with a lingerie-inspired twist.

Sometimes it’s as apparent as bra cups on a top or dress. Other times it’s something more subtle, like hook-and-eye closures or garter grips in place of the usual buttons and zips. And from decadent evening gowns to casual denim, there’s a lingerie-inspired look below for every occasion.

Amoralle

Amoralle is a brand in a constant state of flux. They debuted as a hosiery label named SockBox. Then they switched focus to lingerie. Their pieces are so opulent and magnificent it would be a shame to keep them hidden away in the boudoir. That’s perhaps why, lately, they’ve doubled down on lingerie-as-outerwear creations. You’ll find ultra-luxe robes, gowns, pajamas and more, all designed to be shown off to the world!

Here’s another name that’s synonymous with luxury lingerie. But did you know that La Perla recently began offering ready-to-wear too?

But for now, you can find smart daywear and eveningwear pieces with a touch of lingerie styling. Think jackets with hook-and-eye closures, or tailored pants with matching bralettes.
