It’s six in the evening, you shut down the computer and you receive the message: “Shall we meet at eight?”. Heading home to change would be out of the way, but your look is already on. That shirt you wore buttoned all morning can loosen a bit and let the lace peek out. And that blazer that accompanied you to a meeting looks different when worn open over a satin top.

If you want to try visible lingerie, start with something you already wear. The four formulas in this guide start from a pair of jeans, a shirt, or a blazer and play with how much lace you want to show.


A softly woven shirt and jeans make the black lace look relaxed. Add a brown bag and a delicate chain. For the office, keep the shirt more closed. When you go out, unbutton one and roll up the sleeves so that the lace shows at the neckline.

The nude-toned blazer you have in the closet frames the neckline of the black top and makes the contrast between tailoring and satin noticeable. If during the day you wore the blazer buttoned, unbutton it when you go out and let the edge of lace show.
