Satin Corsets

The benefits of corsets are well documented, from their aid in correcting posture to the way that can flatter and promote the best of any type of figure. However, it would perhaps be fair to say they are not the most versatile of garments, either being so understated they can only be worn as underwear or so outlandish and dramatic you need to be attending a big event to justify wearing one.

It is this problem that a satin corset can solve. If you are interested in corsetry but unsure whether or not it is for you, investing in a satin corset as your first purchase would be a wise choice. With a satin corset, you can first adjust to the feeling of wearing a corset, while also having the truly versatile option of dressing it up or down.

On the other side, you can also wear a corset as outerwear, and it is perhaps the corset most appropriate for wearing during the day. The key to this is the shine of the material; this helps create the effect of it being an outer garment in itself. As the material is enough of a statement, few satin corsets are adorned with lace or other such material, as they would spoil the effect of the satin. This means a satin corset can easily pass for any normal top, just one with a little more structure. It is the easiest type of corset to wear with a simple pair of jeans; while not completely casual, it is definitely as casual as a corset is going to get, thanks to it’s simplicity of style and material.

That doesn’t mean you can’t dress a satin corset up. For a night-time outfit, the shiny material is also beneficial - where in daytime it can look understated and simple, at night it can be used as the starting point for a fantastic ensemble.

For daytime, keep accessories simple and other garments understated. At night, you can wear exciting pieces of jewellery to compliment the sheen of the material. You can also add brooches and pins to the corset itself, and wearing it with a skirt and a pair of high heels will create a dynamite outfit. In daytime, a satin corset looks soft and welcoming, where at night it can look exciting and fresh - which is versatility to the extreme, and all down to the satin itself. Add this to the usual benefits of wearing a corset, and a satin corset is an excellent investment that you can use again and again.

Firstly, you can wear a satin corset as underwear, either on it’s own or underneath an outfit. As well as being made from a soft, shiny material that moves easily underneath other layers, satin corsets are usually unadorned and structured practically and simply, so there is nothing to interfere with the flow of a dress. People new to wearing corsets often find that the feel of the satin against their skin is also quite cooling and allows for freedom of movement, within reason.
