There are several types of tops that are trending for spring/summer 2022. And one of them is the corset, which has made a comeback since the early 2000s. If you want to take part in this fashion revival and try this trend (we LOVE this military green-coloured version, available at H&M) here are five ways to wear them to turn heads this season.

Love the trending corset top but don’t know how to wear it IRL? Here are five ways to style it for head-turning looks.

1: With a Crisp White Shirt

You can never go wrong with a classic white shirt. But this season, give it a 2022 twist by wearing a corset top over it. Leave the buttons open and the shirt untucked for an interesting finish. Pair with must-have mom jeans, heels and a tiny bag and you’re ready for a casual coffee date.

2: Over a Dress

Make a dress look like a top-and-skirt combo by wearing a corset top over it. You can wear it just like with wrap-around heels or add some extra elements, like some chunky gold jewellery. Grab some shades and you are ready for a day out enjoying the warm spring and summer weather.

3: With Formal Pants

Instead of a skirt or dress option, corset tops also look great when paired with pants. For some extra bling, try a shimmery, wide-leg pair with a blazer to tie the look together. Pop on your sparkly jewels and grab your glitter handbag and you’re ready to shine – literally!

4: With a Matching Set

Matching sets have been *huge* in 2022 and can be anything from a summer short and tee set to something longer or more elegant. And good news – this trend isn’t going away anytime soon! Look for one in a bold, contrasting colour to really make a statement this season.

5: Over a Shirt Dress

Got an extra-length shirt or blazer? Jazz it up this season by wearing a trendy corset top over it. This not only adds an interesting dimension to the look but cinches the fabric in all the right places to show off your curves. Add platform heels and a glam handbag to finish it off in style.
