How can I make a corset classy instead of kinky/gothic/border line skanky?

Question

I have a black corset that is full coverage and I would like to wear it at times other than 1) Clubbing or 2) Some weird Halloween party. How can I pair it with other clothes and/or accessories to make it more classy than kinky?

Answer 1

Of COURSE you can make it classy! I think corsets can be very sexy, if they're worn with the right accessories. Try wearing your corset underneath another darker colored shirt. It would look really nice under a long-sleeved button-up black shirt, but you can also balance out a pink shirt with it. Wear with jeans, or a skirt, or even trousers. Stay away from super high heels. Try boots with just a little bit of heel, classy flats, or shoes with just slight heels. As far as jewelry, think delicate, Victorian-style jewelry. A thin medium-length silver chain with some sort of charm on it would look nice, with matching earrings.
If you only let just a tiny bit of the corset show, it's more sexy and classy than skanky. Pair the whole ensemble with a blazer, and ta-daah, you have a cute outfit.
