8 Lingerie Styling Tips from a Personal Shopper

1. Fit first, always.

The right fit is the foundation of great lingerie – when it’s spot on, everything looks and feels better. If you’ve never had a professional fitting done before, now’s the perfect time to do it! But don’t worry, if getting measured professionally isn’t an option or your body has changed since your last fitting, you can measure yourself at home. Our Size & Care Guide has plenty of tips on how to take accurate measurements.

Once you’ve figured out the numbers, check them against our size charts to ensure your lingerie fits like a glove – and get one step closer to feeling confident and comfortable every single day!

2. Comfort vs. style? Have both!

Lingerie should always feel as good as it looks. Whether it’s an ultra-feminine lingerie set, a lace-trimmed thong, or a structured and sultry corset, there’s no need to sacrifice comfort for style. The right fit and design mean there’s never an excuse to wear ugly undies!

Take our Wisteria Silk Bra and Knicker set, for example. The super-soft underwired bra in Fresh Lavender silk is designed with a three-piece cup for extra support for all bust sizes, and has thick silk straps for all-day comfort. Paired with the knicker, which features a playful circular cut-out at the back for a cheeky surprise and delicate bows and pendant details, this set is as dreamy as it is comfortable.

Even more structured pieces of lingerie shouldn’t make you sacrifice on comfort. Take our opulent Pearl Basque Corset. Made using traditional corsetry techniques, this stunning Bubblegum Pink spiral-boned corset enhances your curves but still feels like a dream to wear. It has back laces that can be adjusted until you find the comfort level that’s right for you, and the front busk closures mean you can get in and out of it easily without fuss!

3. Make it work with your wardrobe

Lingerie isn’t just for behind closed doors – it should work seamlessly with your outfits too! Whether you’re looking for pieces that disappear under clothing or want to embrace the underwear as outerwear trend like the Gasque Girls, the right lingerie should work with your clothes, not against them. Here are a few tips from our stylists:

Underwear as underwear:

• Lace and mesh lingerie are best worn under looser clothing to avoid the texture showing through – unless you want a peek-a-boo effect, of course!
• For a smooth, invisible look under tight outfits, go for silk, satin, or microfibre pieces.
• A well-fitting thong is your best friend when you want a no-show finish.

Underwear as outerwear: 

• Want to add shape to a loose dress? A waspie will cinch your waist in all the right places, while still letting your dress do its thing.
• Swap your top for a corset for a bold, high-fashion look. You could layer it under a blazer or pair it with jeans before hitting the highstreet.

4. Show off your assets

The secret to feeling irresistible in lingerie is choosing pieces that highlight your favourite features and make you feel confident. Whether you want to flaunt a killer cleavage, enhance your waist, or draw attention to your legs, the right lingerie will do all the hard work for you.

• Obsessed with your curves? A corset or waspie will sculpt your waist and create that classic hourglass shape.
• Love your bust? An underwired bra or corset will give you a gravity-defying lift that turns heads.
• Want to show off your legs? Stockings and suspenders are the ultimate way to create a sultry look that makes your legs go on forever.

At the end of the day, the most important thing is how you feel – when you wear lingerie that makes you feel mouth-wateringly gorgeous, your confidence will follow. And there’s nothing sexier than that!

5. Invest in quality, not quantity

A few well-made, timeless pieces will last longer and feel better than a drawer full of fast fashion lingerie. It’s always better to prioritise beautiful fabrics and expert craftsmanship. 

Luckily at Scarlett Gasque, we only use the highest quality textiles for our luxury pieces, like locally sourced 100% silk satin. Unlike many competitors who use plastic boning, our corsets feature durable, eco-friendly spiral steel boning, which provides long-lasting support while keeping you comfortable.

When you invest in quality lingerie, you can ensure every piece you own makes you feel incredible and is built to last. 

6. Accessories can take things up a notch

You might not realise it, but the right accessories can bring your lingerie game to the next level. Here’s a few ways to finish off your lingerie look:

Hosiery: From fishnet tights to sexy stockings, hosiery adds a totally timeless and sultry finish. If you love your legs and want to elongate them, opt for a suspender and a matching lingerie set, like our Forget-Me-Not Set from the Showgirl Collection. You could also choose a waspie or corset with suspender straps.

Robes: Whether you go for the ultra-fluffy Arctic Queen Dressing Robe from our Debut Collection or the delicate lace-trimmed Lorelei Robe from The Diamond Collection, a robe adds mystery and that all-important big reveal moment. Plus, it will keep you comfy and make you feel luxurious when you’re all wrapped up!

Jewellery: One of the best ways to express your individuality and show off your personality is with jewellery. Some prefer delicate and minimalist pieces, while others like to make a glitzy statement. Whatever your preference, just remember a stunning necklace can make your cleavage pop, and you can match colours or highlight details like pearls or pendants on your lingerie with complementary jewellery.

High heels: Lingerie paired with heels is a tale as old as time, but you don’t have to wear towering stilettos if that’s not your thing. Look for a pair that you can walk in easily to enhance your posture and complete your look – just make sure they’re comfortable enough to be kicked off later!

7. Dress for the occasion

Your lingerie collection should be as versatile as your wardrobe. It’s all about dressing for the occasion, whether it’s a casual day at work, a fun night out with friends, or a romantic date night at home.

• For those busy weekdays, go for practical and comfortable options that make you feel confident yet ready to conquer the day. Think matching silk sets or shorts that provide support without sacrificing comfort.
• When the weekend comes around, why not switch things up with something a bit more playful? Flirty mesh or pretty embroidery can help you embrace that carefree, fun vibe.
• For those special moments that call for a bit of glamour, reach for your most luxe pieces – think suspenders and stockings or a statement corset.

Dressing for the mood and the moment is the ultimate way to let your lingerie work its magic.

8. Wearing lingerie is a form of self-care

Our final tip is probably the most important. It’s reminding yourself that, first and foremost, wearing lingerie is a form of self-care that can instantly make you feel fabulous. Wearing pieces you adore is like giving yourself a little treat, no matter what the day holds. When you slip into a luxurious lace lingerie set or a corset that hugs your body perfectly, you’ll notice the instant confidence boost.

It’s all about embracing the power of feeling good from the inside out, regardless of if anyone else will see it. From cosy days at home to hectic workdays, taking a moment to wear lingerie that makes you celebrate your body and own your confidence will always be a good thing. And don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!
