Winter fashion doesn’t have to be all about bulky layers and hiding away your best pieces. Instead, think of this season as the perfect opportunity to let your lingerie take the spotlight. By incorporating a few delicate, versatile pieces from Gooseberry’s new lingerie collection, you can elevate your cold-weather style with touches of luxury and texture.
From lacey camisoles and cozy bralettes to sultry bodysuits, incorporating lingerie as part of your winter outfits not only adds warmth but also turns simple looks into something extraordinary. Ready to transform your wardrobe with pieces that do more than just look good? Let’s explore ten creative layering tips to inspire your winter style.
1. Start with a Silk or Satin Camisole for a Luxurious Base Layer
Begin your outfit with a smooth satin or silk camisole, such as the Coquette Silk Caraco, for an added touch of luxury. This lightweight piece is perfect under a cozy sweater or chunky cardigan, adding a delicate layer that feels soft against the skin while providing a polished finish.
Why It Works: The sleek, smooth texture of satin and silk feels indulgent and adds a bit of warmth without adding bulk. It’s the perfect way to elevate even the simplest winter outfit, giving it a subtle, sophisticated edge.
2. Add a Lace Bralette Under Oversized Sweaters
For an effortlessly feminine touch, wear a lace bralette underneath an oversized sweater. Whether the sweater slips off the shoulder or features a deep V-neck, the intricate lace detailing of a bralette like the Blush Triangle will peek through, offering a playful, flirty accent.
Why It Works: The contrast between delicate lace and chunky knit creates visual interest. Plus, it’s a comfortable, breathable layer that feels just as good as it looks.
3. Layer a Bodysuit Under Blazers and Jackets
A fitted bodysuit is a perfect base layer under blazers, tailored coats, or leather jackets. Choose a sleek little number such as the Mon Cheri Long Sleeve Bodysuit, to keep you warm and chic without the extra bulk.
Why It Works: Bodysuits offer a streamlined silhouette that’s both flattering and functional. They stay tucked in, creating a polished look that’s easy to style with high-waist pants or skirts, and can take you from day to night effortlessly.
4. Incorporate a Slip Dress as a Layering Piece
Slip dresses aren’t just for summer—they can be a stunning winter layer, too. Wear your favorite silk slip dress over tights or leggings, and pair it with an oversized sweater or a structured coat for a look that’s both cozy and refined.
Why It Works: The flowy, silky fabric of a slip dress like the Mon Cheri Silk Slip Dress adds a touch of elegance, while the layering makes it winter-ready. It’s a versatile piece that transitions easily from daytime outings to evening gatherings.
5. Opt for High-Waist Briefs with High-Waist Jeans and Pants
High-waist briefs, like the Dolce High Waists, offer a seamless pairing with high-waist jeans or trousers. The fit of these sexy panties ensures a smooth silhouette, while the extra coverage provides added warmth during those chilly winter days.
Why It Works: The combination of high-waist briefs and pants elongates the legs and creates a flattering, streamlined look. It’s both practical and stylish, making it a go-to choice for layering.
6. Use a Longline Bra as a Statement Layer
Make a bold statement by layering a longline bra underneath a sheer blouse or an open cardigan. A style like the Full On Glam Bra provides extra coverage while doubling as a chic focal point of the outfit.
Why It Works: The extended band of the longline bra offers additional warmth and support, while the lace detailing adds an eye-catching touch. It’s a stylish way to incorporate bras and lingerie into your winter wardrobe without sacrificing comfort.
7. Slip into a Cozy Pajama Set for At-Home Comfort
When it comes to winter evenings, there’s nothing quite like melting into a set like the Cozy Modal PJ Set, to keep you warm and comfortable. Paired with your favorite bralette or camisole, this breathable set provides the perfect balance of comfort and style, making it ideal for unwinding after a long day or enjoying a slow morning at home.
Why It Works: The ultra-soft modal fabric feels like a dream against the skin, offering a relaxed yet polished look. This set is perfect for those who want to lounge in luxury, making it a go-to choice for chilly nights or lazy weekends by the fire.
8. Add a Sheer Bodysuit Under a Chunky Sweater
Looking to add an extra layer of warmth without the bulk? Try wearing a sheer bodysuit, such as the Mon Cheri Bodysuit, beneath a chunky sweater. The subtle peek of texture through the knit creates a sophisticated layered effect.
Why It Works: The sheer fabric offers a contrast to heavier knits, adding depth and dimension to your look. It’s a great way to showcase your favorite lingerie pieces while staying warm.
9. Elevate Your Outfit with a Silk Midi Skirt
For a refined winter look, incorporate a silk midi skirt, such as the Mon Cheri Silk Skirt, as a key layering piece. This flowing skirt, crafted from lustrous silk, drapes beautifully and adds a touch of elegance to any outfit. Pair it with a cozy sweater or a fitted bodysuit for a chic ensemble that effortlessly balances comfort and sophistication. The smooth texture and delicate sheen of the silk make it an eye-catching addition to your seasonal wardrobe.
Why It Works: The silk skirt’s fluid silhouette and luxurious feel add an element of glamour without sacrificing warmth. It’s a versatile piece that transitions seamlessly from day to night, making it the perfect choice for those who love blending lingerie-inspired elements with their winter staples.
10. Finish with Thigh-High Socks Paired with Lingerie Shorts
Complete your winter layering look with a playful twist by pairing thigh-high socks with lingerie shorts and a matching bralette or cami. Take the Amore Short and Amore Longline Bra, for example. It’s a flirty, cozy option that’s perfect for staying in or heading out to a casual gathering.
Why It Works: The thigh-high socks add extra warmth while elongating the legs, and the shorts keep the look light and comfortable. It’s a fun way to bring a bit of summer spirit into your winter outfits.
