In a post-pandemic summer, everyone is coveting a bit of an escape. For some, that might be in the form of a literal getaway to Europe, like Jennifer Lopez and seemingly everyone else on our Instagram feeds. For others, like the sartorially inclined, that could mean a break from the routine of warm-weather style. These months are prime time for summer dresses, tank tops, bike shorts, and other seasonal staples to shine. But even the best jeans shorts can feel monotonous—we get it. If you’re looking to spice things up and add some new (and sexy) pieces to your wardrobe, TikTok has a suggestion for you: corsets.
According to Hey Discount, which recently led a research report on TikTok fashion trends, Y2K style has made a triumphant return. And corsets have earned the number one spot as the most popular fashion trend with a whopping 3.7 billion views, and that’s thanks in part to the popularity of Netflix’s hit series Bridgerton.
The lingerie-inspired trend is nothing new to the fashion world (even Rihanna’s donned a corset!). Still, if you know anything about viral TikTok items, especially those worth shopping, this is one you simply cannot miss. After all, the social platform may be one of the best ways to get a hands-on review and some styling tips in the process. If you haven’t hopped on this trend yet, you better start now. Ahead, shop the 19 best corset tops to wear for a casual day or night out (or both).
