Tops effet corset

The corset is an ancient piece of women's fashion, which has been revisited over time by couturiers and fashion designers to lighten its constraints and become comfortable. The corset-effect top was popularized by fashion, music and film icons in the '80s, notably by designer Jean Paul Gaultier, who created Madonna's world-famous corset bustier.

The corset-effect top retains all the benefits of the traditional corset, shaping and supporting the bust and refining the waist for a waspish silhouette for a vintage, glamorous look at an affordable price. In fact, corset-effect tops are on sale in our online boutique, so that women of all budgets can dress the way they want.

• A fresh, springtime look with a corset-effect top

The best way to wear a corset-effect top is with casual, feminine pieces. For example, combine a corset-effect top with high-waisted, regular-fit light-blue mom jeans to subtly reveal your tummy. On your feet, wear a pair of dress shoes like white chunky loafers or a pair of trendy Timberland for a more casual look. To enhance the corset-effect top and its square neckline, wear a silver choker and a set of creoles or earrings.

• A trendy, urban look with a corset-effect top

Pair your black corset-effect top with a pleated faux-leather or corduroy skirt and a pair of flat black lace-up ankle boots for a rocking touch. For a trendy city look with a corset-effect top, opt for modern accessories such as shoulder bags or suede satchels.

• A romantic country look with a corset-effect top

Combine a corset-effect top with a long tulle skirt and wedge sandals for a comfortable, bucolic look, for a picnic by the lake or a class. The corset-effect top can also be paired with regular, high-waisted black pants and a pair of transparent sandals with coil heels.

• A city rock look with a corset-effect top

The corset-effect top can be worn in a multitude of ways. For a grungy, rebellious look, the ideal is to mix it with a piece that's both classic and feminine, like a short skirt or black crocodile-leather slit pants and a pair of spool-heeled ankle boots.

Which corset-effect top to choose, depending on your morphology?

For O-shaped women, we recommend corset-effect tops with classic, not too puffy sleeves and a square neckline to enhance your bust. With this type of silhouette, you can wear a sleeveless corset-effect top, or a corset-effect top with ruffles, preferably with fluid, fitted bottoms such as high-waisted pants or tailored pants.

For V-shaped morphologies, we recommend sleeveless corset-effect tops with V-shaped necklines, or corset-effect tops with square necklines to draw the eye away from the bust. When wearing a corset-effect top, play on lines and volumes with this type of silhouette by mixing it with wide-leg pants like cargo pants or tailored pants.

For I-shaped body types, it's best to opt for glittering corset-effect tops, corset-effect tops with balloon sleeves, corset-effect tops with ruffles that will give relief and character to your long, naturally androgynous silhouette. For this type of silhouette, if you want to wear a corset-effect top at the top, opt for trendy oversized high-waisted fleece joggers or carrot pants at the bottom.

For A shapes, corset-effect tops with puffed sleeves, satin corset-effect tops and printed corset-effect tops are recommended to harmonize and balance the different volumes of your silhouette.

Which accessories to wear with a corset-effect top?

You can wear a corset effect top with different types of accessories. For those who like a casual look, you can mix your corset effect top with urban-style jewelry such as chain link necklaces or silver bangle bracelets.
