Seduction is an art, and it’s one that can easily be carried over into the style world. This is especially true when it comes to showing off lingerie as the anchor of your outfit, a  fashion trend  that’s on the rise among celebrities and fashion experts. Just like  lingerie dresses  and cami tops have made a comeback, now we’re seeing outfits where the key piece is an exposed bra or bustier, worn either under jackets or, in ‘90s style, under a sheer mesh top. Not sure how to wear an exposed bra as part of your outfits this season? Here are 10 celebrities and influencers to show you how.

Bralet or push up? Choosing which bra just depends on your figure - and your mood. Olivia Culpo , for example, follows the basic rule: show the bra completely to make a statement, as seen here in her ultra-sheer top with leather pants.

It may seem like there was an unspoken agreement this season between designers like Dior, Loewe and Givenchy, since they all included looks in which intimate garments are visible in plain sight. Dior fan Leonnie Hanne showed how its done in romantic style at the fashion house’s Paris show.

Your exposed bra doesn’t have to be lacy or black for it to be a head-turner. Try a fun color and mix and match styles. Here is a cool street style example with a bright yellow bra teamed with a pale blue printed suit.
