Underwear as Outerwear: Lingerie Ideas for Party Wear

Party season is calling — and this year, it’s all about turning up the heat. Think underwear as outerwear, bold basques, and stunning lace bodies that were made to be seen. Whether you’re heading out for a glam girls’ night or that big festive party, we’ve got the lingerie outfit ideas to make you feel fabulous from day to night.  

Whether you’re into classic satin or daring lace, a basque is your ultimate confidence booster — sexy, sculpting, and seriously stylish. A structured basque outfit under a tailored blazer is the perfect mix of chic and sophisticated. For the ultimate power move, pair a lace basque with wide-leg trousers and heels, and let that hint of lace and mesh peek through.

If there’s one classic statement piece that does it all, it’s a lace bodysuit outfit. From brunch to bar, it’s the perfect go-to outfit that never goes out of style. Style your lace bodysuit under a blazer for a chic dinner look, or go bold with leather trousers for the ultimate party-ready look.

A black lace bodysuit outfit is timeless, sexy, and oh-so-flattering. Add a red lip, statement earrings, and you’re good to glow.

Move over little black dress — this season, it’s all about the statement top. From longline bras and lace bustiers to mesh-detailed corsets and front-fastening bralettes, these pieces are the ultimate way to own the night.

Think of them as your secret style weapon — bold enough to steal the spotlight, yet versatile enough to wear your way. Pair a lace or mesh bustier with sleek tailored trousers for a glam night-out look, or style a bralette under an oversized blazer for that  “I just threw this on” confidence.

When it comes to underwear as outerwear, colour plays a big part in setting the mood. Classic black is always a winner — sleek, versatile, and effortlessly chic — but don’t be afraid to mix things up this season.

Rich reds add warmth and impact, purple brings a touch of luxury, and deep forest green offers a modern alternative to festive sparkle. If you prefer a little shine, metallic tones, or subtle satin finishes are an easy way to elevate your look without going over the top.

Play with texture too — lace, mesh, and velvet all work beautifully together. Whether you stick to classic shades or try something new, the key is choosing colours that make you feel confident and comfortable.

If you’re short on party outfit ideas or hunting for going out outfit ideas, start with your favourite lingerie piece and build from there.

• A blazer and bodysuit combo gives that tailored-meets-sexy vibe.
• A lace basque with satin trousers = instant glam.
• A bold lace body or bralette under a velvet suit? Iconic.
