​Bras Outside the Box is a body-positive blog about bras and lingerie.

Wearing clothes that resemble lingerie, or lingerie that can double as clothing, is not a new thing. It's a trend that comes and goes, but with lots of '90s styles being highlighted at the moment, I'm happy to see this look showing up more often. We're seeing babydoll dresses, camisole tops, and layered spaghetti-strap tanks. Artless Forever is a Los Angeles boutique that fully embraces '90s minimalism and features several lingerie-inspired pieces.

I couldn't wait for the chance to highlight some fun, sexy, breathable bras, lingerie, and swimwear for summer 2026.

I've been getting into the sheer mesh layering trend lately. My interpretation is wearing a delicate, deliberately sheer nylon mesh lingerie top over a bra, bralette, cami, or slim-fit tank. This allows lingerie to enter the realm of acceptable everyday clothing, similar to what a slipdress can do. First, you need to make sure you have the right fit in each piece. If your bralette is too small or too large, that will interrupt the natural flow of your body's lines and curves.
