The popularity of corsets and tips on how best to fit them
Why are corsets still so popular in modern times?
Corsets have been a staple of women's fashion and erotic wear for centuries. Although styles and materials have changed over the years, the popularity of corsets in modern times is still unprecedented. In this blog post, we look at why corsets are still so popular and why they are an important part of the world of erotic clothing and lingerie.
Shapewear and Body Shaping.
Corsets are often used as shapewear and can help shape and streamline a woman's figure. The use of corsets as shapewear is not only popular in the world of erotic apparel, but also among women who are looking for a slimmer and more streamlined figure. Corsets can be used to accentuate the waist and emphasize the hips, giving the woman's body a beautiful hourglass shape.
Waist Training
Another reason why corsets are still so popular is because of the rise of waist training. This is a trend where women wear a corset for an extended period of time to reduce and shape their waists. Waist training has become popular thanks to celebrities who have promoted the use of corsets as a means of losing weight and shaping the figure. Although there is much debate about the effectiveness of waist training, it is certainly a trend that has increased the popularity of corsets.
Fashion Trends
Corsets are also increasingly seen as an important part of the fashion industry. Many designers have incorporated corsets into their collections, bringing them back into the spotlight. Corsets can be worn as outerwear, such as under a blazer or jacket, or as undergarments, as a sexy addition to an outfit. The use of corsets as a fashion statement has certainly contributed to the popularity of this garment.
Sexy Outfits
Last but not least, corsets are simply sexy. Whether worn as part of erotic clothing or as a fashion accessory, corsets have an intrinsic appeal that many women and men cannot resist. It is the combination of the tight fit and sexy design that make corsets so popular. Whether you wear a corset to shape your figure, work out your waist or just because you want to look sexy.
Tips for choosing the right corset size
Measure your waist: To find the right corset size, it is important to measure your waist size. Wrap a tape measure around the narrowest part of your waist, usually just above your navel. Don't pull the measuring tape too tight so you can measure the correct size.
Choose the right size chart: Different brands use different size charts, so it is important to check the size chart of the brand you want to buy. Make sure you choose the right size chart for your region, as sizes can vary between countries.
Fit and style: Consider what fit and style best suits your body type. For example, if you have a pear figure, it's better to choose an under bust corset that emphasizes your waist. If you have an hourglass figure, you can choose an over bust corset that emphasizes your bust and waist.
Comfort: It is important to choose a corset that is comfortable. Choose a size that is not too tight, otherwise the corset can become uncomfortable and restrict your movement. Also, make sure you can breathe and move easily while wearing the corset.
Try it on: If possible, try the corset on before you buy it. This way you can see how the corset fits and how it feels to wear it. If you store online, see if there is a size chart or sizing advice available to help you choose the right size.
