The micro trend: Corsets

With a renewed emphasis on the waist, strong silhouettes reigned supreme on the FW18 runways. The easiest way to hone your curves? The season’s empowering, alluring new corsets, from Dolce & Gabbana’s lace-up version to Alexander McQueen’s fire-engine red iteration. Counteract their boudoir connotations by pairing them with masculine pants or ethereal floral layers and imposing boots for a compelling hi-low mix. Still too risqué for your tastes? The runways also offered subtle corset details: Dion Lee’s modern take on the LBD is the perfect way to elevate your after-dark look.
