Already worrying about what dress to wear to the Christmas parties? Well, the most fashionable answer is not to wear one at all.
Beyoncé and Cheryl Cole have both worn Agent Provocateur corsets as outerwear recently, while Katy Perry donned lingerie to host last month's MTV Awards. Rihanna and Lily Allen have been snapped out and about with suspenders in plain view. The British public has obviously enjoyed what it's seen. Lingerie is one of the season's biggest sellers, with online underwear store Figleaves enjoying a 35% increase in year-on-year sales of stockings and Selfridges expanding its range of corsets by 70%.
A certain degree of courage is required for fashion's latest fancy. Katy Perry summed it up best recently saying: "I'm not the kind of person to care if a boob pops out – I'll just pop it back in and carry on." If that sounds like you, then your festive wardrobe worries are over.
