3 Ways To Work The Underwear As Outerwear Trend (without looking like you’ve forgotten something)

The humble tank has gone from wardrobe basic to bonafide IT item (fuelled, in part, to that ubiquitous Prada tank you’ve seen all over your feed). And while dropping four figures on a singlet is probably not happening any time soon, there’s no shortage of brands serving up their take on the tank top. The Jonesy Singlet by Neuw is a great everyday investment, spun with organic cotton for breathable comfort while being thick enough to minimise any show-through. Looking for colours that pop? The 91 Tank by Cotton On comes in a suite of seasonal brights alongside your faithful neutrals, too. 

Whether you love them, tolerate them or have bid adieu, there’s no denying the bra’s place in the fashion zeitgeist. Once considered a style sin, letting your bra strap show à la Miu Miu SS23 is an (almost too) easy way to work the underwear as outerwear trend. Corset tops are also high on our wishlist this season, playing well with everything from baggy denim to a basic white button-down. Feeling bold? Why not team a Calvin Klein crop top with an oversized suit for a sportier take on the beloved bra + blazer combo. 

While probably not the most exciting item in your wardrobe, underwear is proving a surprising source of style inspo this season. Channel early 00s energy and let your g-string peek out the top of your low-rise jeans, or hero that Tommy Hilfiger logo by layering high-waisted briefs with pants that sit a little lower on the hips. And while we don’t recommend testing out Julia Fox’s look at your local supermarket, brief sets are perfect for feeling a little more pulled-together on your laziest lounge days. Look to labels like Les Boys Les Girls for briefs, bralettes and pyjama sets cute enough to wear outside.
