Fall 2011 Breakdown: How to Get the Boudoir Look

Boudoir — that sexy, come-hither look — took a seriously ladylike turn for Fall, and we're here to show you how to get the look.
Fall's Sexy Boudoir Trend

Boudoir — that sexy, come-hither look — took a seriously ladylike turn for Fall, and we're here to show you how to get the look. We'll highlight the trend on the runway and on celebrities, show you key pieces to shop, and impart styling tips on how to nail the trend. The look is marked by lace, pinup detailing, and sheerness all wrapped up in polished silhouettes that keep it far from any brothel references. We think supermodel Arizona Muse looks just right in this Vogue Korea editorial — equal parts soft and sexy. When you style this look right, it should be richly textured, subtly sexy, and classically feminine. Here are our key tips:

  • It's all in the fabric: lace, swiss dot, ribbon detailing, silk, velvet, and sheer textures give any look a rich appeal.
  • Feminine silhouettes: This look is best when it's a tailored silhouette. Think of Hitchcock's leading ladies of the '50s and '60s.
  • Balance: If you want to channel this look for work, stick to one boudoir element, like a lace blouse, but keep the rest of your look subtle.

    Get Alexa Chung's Insanely Cute Overalls Look

    We're always a little wary of overalls, but we're totally obsessed with this look from Alexa Chung.

    We're always a little wary of overalls, but we're totally obsessed with this look from Alexa Chung. Everything works; the deep V-neck of the jumper allows us to see more of the silky cream blouse, which in turn makes the outfit feel dressy, not dowdy. She rolls the hem on the overalls to show off super-cute platform sandals, and has a little red jacket that would add a pop of color. This has been a stellar style week from Alexa, and we've found a couple of pieces to channel Alexa's look. Just click the widget to shop.
