By now, you've probably noticed the widespread popularity of the corset trend. Witnessed on runways, celebrities, and many a street style star, the cinched-waist look is everywhere, and while flattering, it can be incredibly difficult to pull off. So we've decided to decode the trend with easy formulas, whether you fancy the look of a lace-up corset over a dress or a bustier version atop tailored separates.

Inspired by the always-savvy fashion set, we've pulled together nine outfits for you to consider and shopped out similar pieces to re-create each springtime ensemble with ease. Here's how to master the look.

1. A Wide Cotton Corset And Midi Dress

A wide cotton corset is soft and malleable to your shape, but fits best when layered over a dress that's already nipped to avoid bunching.

2. A Lace-Up Corset Over A Blazer

Opt for a lace-up corset-style belt when cinching a tailored blazer—the slimmer width of a belt will adhere to your natural curve more so than a style that runs from your bust line to your hips.
