As the seasons transition from summer to autumn, so do our wardrobes. While tank tops are being traded for cozy, oversized sweaters and sandals are being replaced with knee-high boots, one garment can still remain a statement piece for any season: the corset top.
What was once originally used to simply enhance a woman’s bodice into an hourglass figure, the corset is now seen as a versatile garment that can be dressed for both day and nighttime affairs. Whether you layer it on top of a chic button-down blouse or pair it with a sleek blazer, a corset is worth adding to your shopping list.
Here, peruse through the best corset tops to shop this fall.
