As a specialty item, there are as almost as many corset styles available as there are bra styles. The original design of corsets is to shape the female figure, giving a slimmer waist and helping emphasize the bust and buttocks. Nowadays, the corset is seen as a sexy statement and intimate wear meant to excite and please both the user and her partner.

Stretch and laced corsets use spandex or lycra for the comfort of the user. The stretch fabrics and the corset's boning help shape the waist. There are garterized corsets as well as leather and vinyl corsets. Leather and vinyl corsets, as well as those made with spandex may be used as a top in itself thanks to the underwire support. Going out clubbing with your friends in a lace up leather corset is considered aggressive and liberating. Wearing a leather corset for some is as close as they can get to being a dominatrix.

For all the women who like seductive lingerie that has lace ups, you're in luck! There's a choice of front, back, side lace ups or multiple lace ups when it comes to corset styles. Untying the laces can be a game in itself! The lace ups allow the partners to take time, enjoy the moment and have fun while taking off your laced corsets.

Alternatively, corset styles also include break-away zip ups. More convenient and can be worn without any help, these break-away zip ups may not give much of a game like lace ups, but are just as hot.

Corset styles have encroached upon and include bra designs. The traditional corset styles start at the bustline, while some erotic lingerie corset styles include a bra, demi-bra or even a very sexy pick-a-boo design to titillate the partner. It's a wonder that corset wearers are hugged more while still wearing the corset than without!

Wearing a corset like a bustier top can be worn with or without the straps. Bustier-like corsets can even be worn as evening wear with a shawl and worn with nice skirt or pair of pants.

Corset styles include the use of mesh or embroidery. Many have a lace trim and they are available in print colors, polka dots and hearts, solid colors and many other choices.

Corset styles run the gamut of severe to the whimsical. There are the light prints of red hearts or polka dots on plain backgrounds, or even embroidered designs on lace or mesh corsets that cover next to nothing and leave little to the imagination! Seductive lingerie like the corset made of mesh fabrics offer a see-through appearance of the skin- enticing the partner to come closer and participate. The fabric material gives a truly visual texture.

Aside from your traditional black and white colors, there are lavenders, purple, pinks, reds, blues, greens and many other lingerie colors. There are prints and patterns, all designed to highlight the wearer's natural curves and features. Being restrained by a corset doesn't mean the curves are tied down, but only highlighted and sculpted.

There is a huge variety of corset lingerie styles available and the only limitation to the endless possibilities is ones own imagination. The seductive lingerie corset style you choose to wear should be a matter of personal comfort and projection.

Feeling and looking sexy comes from inside a woman. Corsets assist in projecting an image by helping make you feel great about yourself. Corset styles are concrete ideas designed to entice and set the mood you are wanting to create.
