It’s 2025, and let’s just say subtlety has left the group chat. This year’s lingerie trends are all about making an entrance—whether that’s from beneath a blazer or straight into the spotlight, no layering required. From whispered hints of lace to full-blown corsetry worn unapologetically on the outside, lingerie as outerwear is no longer just a runway fantasy—it’s a wardrobe reality.

At Envie, we’ve been watching the style tide turn, and this season, it’s less about hiding and more about highlighting. Here’s everything you need to know about the current lingerie trends lighting up our feeds, our fantasies, and our wardrobes.

1. Underwear as Outerwear? It's Officially a Movement.

What started as a cheeky nod to the '90s—hello, visible thong straps and peekaboo bralettes—has become one of 2025’s hottest lingerie trends. Think sheer tops that showcase lacy bralettes, corsets replacing crop tops, and silky camisoles that deserve more than just bedtime.

Designers across the board are embracing underwear as outerwear, with structured corsetry showing up under blazers, lace-trimmed slips styled with combat boots, and satin bustiers paired with denim. The look is fierce, feminine, and incredibly freeing. It’s not about being risqué—it’s about reclaiming confidence.

Styling tip: Pair your favourite cropped corset with tailored trousers and a blazer left just slightly open. Add oversized hoops and a red lip for that CEO-after-dark energy.

2. Cropped Lingerie: A Short Story We’re Obsessed With

The rise of cropped lingerie is exactly what it sounds like— bralette-style tops that blur the line between innerwear and fashion statements. These aren’t just shorter versions of lingerie tops; they’re cut with purpose, designed to be seen, and styled like a dream.

Whether it’s a sporty mesh number or a delicate lace piece with ribbon straps, cropped styles are being layered over crisp white shirts or worn solo with high-waist denim. It’s lingerie, but make it brunch.

Why we love it: Cropped lingerie is versatile, flirty, and flattering for all body types. Plus, it transitions effortlessly from day to night (and night to bed, if we’re being honest).

3. Babydoll Trend: Sweet, Sultry, and Surprisingly Powerful

The babydoll trend is having a major comeback—and this time, it’s far more than just bedroom wear. Think floaty silhouettes in unexpected fabrics (hello, tulle and velvet) worn with knee-high boots or over jeans for that dreamy-but-daring vibe.

What used to be shy and demure is now being served with a wink. Babydoll dresses in sheer fabrics, lace details, and soft pastels are giving us coquette-core realness, but with edge.

Mood board: Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette meets Gen Z rebellion. Sprinkle liberally with blush and attitude.

4. Soft Sculpting: The New Shape of Sexy

Forget the industrial-strength shapewear of yesteryear—2025’s lingerie trends are all about comfort that doesn’t compromise on silhouette. We’re seeing a rise in soft-structured pieces: bodysuits that smooth without squeezing, wireless bras with sculpted cups, and high-waisted panties that hug rather than hold.

This isn’t about hiding your body; it’s about supporting it, styling it, and celebrating it. And thank the fashion gods, because we’ve had enough of sacrificing comfort for curves.

What to try: A buttery-soft bodysuit in stretch mesh or modal with a deep neckline. Add trousers and a bold necklace, and you’re set for cocktails or chaos.

5. Sheer Power: Barely-There is Going Everywhere

The sheer obsession continues. From mesh bras to translucent bodysuits, current lingerie trends are leaning into transparency—literally. But there’s nothing fragile about it. Sheer pieces are being layered, contrasted with leather, or worn as a full monochrome moment (all sheer everything? Yes, please).

This look plays with perception: it’s delicate yet commanding, bold yet romantic. Perfect for those who dress to express, not impress.

Babe, we’re finally dressing for ourselves! The lingerie as outerwear movement is about more than showing skin—it’s about showing strength, style, and self-expression. The hottest lingerie trends of 2025 aren’t here to cover you up—they’re here to let you shine through.

Whether you’re slipping into something sheer, layering your lace, or just wearing a gorgeous bra because you want to, this year’s trends are all about joy, power, and a little bit of cheek.
