We owe many iconic, viral fashion moments to brands like Zara. Back in 2019, it was nearly impossible to walk down the street without spotting at least one black-and-white polka dot maxi dress, and who could forget those bright pink jeans? When it comes to on-trend styles, Zara keeps hitting the mark again and again.
This summer, one of the biggest trends was lingerie-inspired tops with unique asymmetric cuts. As autumn approached, these tops evolved into outerwear staples, appearing on runways layered with jeans or long skirts. When the cold set in, you might have tucked this piece away, thinking it’s just for summer. But the asymmetric lingerie top works beautifully in cooler months too. Here are some ideas on how you can style this top with flair during winter.
Layered Under a Sweater
When it’s chilly, the go-to combo is usually sweater and jeans, but you can elevate your look with interesting layers. The asymmetric lingerie top is a perfect base: pair it with tailored striped pants and a relaxed knit sweater. The result? A fresh, office-friendly look that effortlessly transitions from a “meeting that could’ve been an email” vibe to “after-work festive drinks with friends.”
Choose a lightweight, soft sweater that won’t overshadow the delicate lace details but frames them beautifully. A slightly oversized fit adds a modern, laid-back touch while keeping the outfit feminine and thoughtfully styled thanks to the layering.
Leather Pants and Boots
Leather and lace are a timeless duo, like tea and toast. The edgy vibe of leather paired with delicate lace instantly adds character, and the asymmetric cut boosts your style points even more. Complete your look with classic leather boots for guaranteed success.
Worn as a Dress Over a Sweater
Why not wear a dress in winter? Many default to jeans and sweaters when it’s cold, but dresses can be just as practical if you rethink your layering.
Though this lingerie-inspired asymmetric style started mainly as tops, designers have extended the trend to dress lengths, making it perfect as a standalone piece. And what if your dress is sleeveless? No worries. It doesn’t mean it’s off-limits for winter. The solution is simple and chic: layer a warm, tailored turtleneck sweater underneath. A fine-knit turtleneck keeps you cozy and provides a clean base, making your outfit refined, layered, and perfectly seasonal.
With Jeans – The Timeless Classic
The “jeans and a pretty top” combo is a classic for a reason. Here, the pretty top is the asymmetric lingerie-inspired one, with its satin feel and lace trim making it a perfect pick. White jeans add a fresh touch, even in winter with the right accessories. Complete your outfit with chunky boots and a stylish yet practical coat.
With a Fabric Coat
An asymmetric lingerie top can look incredibly chic paired with a clean-cut fabric coat, especially in lighter shades. The contrast between delicate lace and structured coat creates an elegant yet modern vibe that’s a perfect choice. With this combo, you’ll achieve a memorable look with minimal effort.
