How to properly style a lingerie top
One thing to avoid when pairing camisoles is showing too much skin. Because then the whole thing really looks like a bedroom look. It is also advisable to mix a lingerie-look top with clear contrasts and to use style-breaking elements.

1. Lingerie top and (wide) jeans

3. Lingerie top and two-piece suit
A combination that also always works is the mix of camisole and . This looks well dressed and the usually somewhat stricter look of the two-piece suit is loosened up by the lingerie top. You really can’t go wrong with this combination. If the two-piece suit is colorful or has prints, the lingerie-look top should be monochromatic and not too flashy. If the suit is monochrome, the top with lace can be chosen to be a little more conspicuous.
4. Top in lingerie look over sweater
In order not to show too much skin and thus remind you of nightwear, a good way is to do this easy to pull over the top. What was popular with a slip dress in the past years can now easily be worn with camisoles. Of course, the lingerie-look top has to be large enough for this. It is easiest if the pullover or shirt is one color and the top has enough space to stand out.
Tip: When choosing the right lingerie top for an everyday look, it is best to make sure that you choose a large enough size. If the lingerie-look top is too tight, it quickly looks like an undershirt. If it falls loosely, the look is immediately more casual.
