Modern day corsetry still popular thanks to Bridgerton and Kim Kardashian

The corset has been making a comeback since the 1900s, just in a different way. We have seen a huge spike in searches for corsets since 2021, largely due to the popularity of the Netflix show Bridgerton, which made viewers fall in love with corsets again,

Today, the corset is used as a fashion accessory or a statement piece, unlike the old ways of using it to synch the waist and give women support. Corsets are now incorporated into shirts and dresses to add that extra bit of style.  

Celebrities such as Billie Eilish and Kim Kardashian love to incorporate corsets into their red-carpet outfits. Kim also loves to wear them in everyday life. Men have also started to incorporate corsets into their outfits, usually styling them over a long, oversized shirt. 

 There are a few designers who love to use corsets in their designs. One  is Alexander McQueen.  His Spring 2013 collection featured corsets as the main element of all his designs. Historically, Prada has also usesd corsets as statement pieces. In the brand’s Fall 2016 collection, they showcased corsets as a practical piece that accentuated the femininity of a woman’s figure. They were worn on the top of oversized clothes to show the contrast.
