Why Corsets Are Still Hot in 2025

Power Meets Romance:
The SS25 runways—from Paris to New York—showed corsets layered over everything: crisp shirts, floaty dresses, structured blazers. Designers like Dion Lee, Mugler, and Simone Rocha are pushing the boundaries with deconstructed boning, lace-meets-leather hybrids, and sheer illusion fabrics.

Gen Z & TikTok Love It:
Corsets continue to thrive thanks to the ongoing "underwear-as-outerwear" movement, Y2K nostalgia, and cottagecore-meets-glam fashion vibes. Think: corsets with cargo pants, low-rise skirts, or even styled over graphic tees.

Versatility is Key:
They’re not just for dressing up anymore. The modern corset works for casual streetwear, evening glam, or even festival fits. And brands are offering everything from soft knit corsets to full-on lace-up bustiers.

So yes - corsets are not only still in fashion in 2025, they’re one of the year’s most versatile, empowering, and creative pieces. Whether you want to channel elegance, edge, or a mix of both, there’s a corset look for every vibe.

'I’m not entirely against the corset trend - there’s a certain sense of confidence that comes with wearing something that accentuates my curves, rather than completely disguising them.' - you might say.

That’s such a valid take - and honestly, that’s exactly what makes the modern corset so powerful. It’s not about squeezing into a mold or hiding anything - it’s about celebrating your shape and owning your look with confidence.

There’s something really empowering about slipping into a garment that honors your curves and holds you in all the right places—it’s like wearing a quiet form of armor, but with soft lace or sleek satin instead of metal plates. And in 2025, that idea of controlled confidence is hitting hard in fashion.

It’s also worth noting that today’s corsets aren’t what they used to be. The materials are more breathable, the boning is often flexible, and the styling is meant to enhance you, not change you. Whether you wear it under a blazer, over a sheer top, or as a top on its own, it’s less about restriction and more about creativity.
