The trend of wearing lingerie as clothing has been on the rise for some time now, beginning with the resurgence of Calvin Klein and going to today’s boudoir-inspired apparel. Lately though, it’s all been about one key player: the bralette. In place of passé padding, the underpinning du jour is a comfortable (and cool!) alternative to standard unmentionables, and also favored by many a celeb, namely, Victoria’s Secret Angels. While a bralette may be easy to slip on beneath clothing, it can be trickier to style in real life when angling for that It girl look. That’s why we tapped Taylor Hill, Romee Strijd and Jasmine Tookes to ask them for versatile styling tips that will make rocking a bralette effortless. Here, see how it’s done.

"In the fall, I would wear the VS bralettes with high-waist skinny jeans, a sheer T-shirt, a leather coat and a scarf. " —Taylor Hill
Jasmine Tookes
"I will wear the crochet lace triangle with a v-neck sundress, so you can see the lace." —Jasmine Tookes
Romee Strijd
"To dress it up, I'll pair the bralette with some chic black trousers and a smoking jacket—very elegant and very sexy." —Romee Strijd
