Who can say no to a cute going-out top? I think my greatest weakness is that I’ll never be able to turn down a cropped halter top or backless T-shirt, and my bank account agrees. Ultimately, a unique and flattering going-out top is always going to make its way into my heart… and shopping cart. One of the trendiest tops of this year has been the corset top (I’m obsessed). And if you haven’t found the corset top for you yet, or you just want to add a few more to your collection, this list is for you!
Corsets have a connotation with Victorian-era styles, but modern corsets aren’t like the super-tight, Marie Antoinette-inspired styles you might be thinking of. Instead, corset tops today vary a lot in structure and style — some offer a lot of structure, whereas others are simply adorned with the classic corset cording. And that’s not where the variance stops — some corset tops have patterns, experiment with different materials, and differ in necklines. Corset tops are also extremely popular for their versatility — wear one on a date night or to a casual bar, and dress it up or down. The options are endless. No matter what corset top speaks to you or what event you plan on wearing it to, one thing remains certain: You’ll be looking cute and feeling confident.
