The True Cornerstone Of Romantic-Core Is A Great Corset

No matter which corset or bustier you choose, you can shop them all at Urban Outfitters.

Whether it’s because of the revived interest in dark academia and gothic-adjacent looks, or the influence of a certain steamy historical drama, romantic-core is one of fall’s biggest trends. Think of it as an edgier, moodier version of the cottage-core trend that’s been dominant for the past few years. But that’s not to say romantic-core doesn't have some sweetness — you’ll find plenty of pretty lace, pastels, and ribbons in the mix, too. But the true style hero of romantic-core looks? Head-turning corsets or bustier-style tops that complete the ensemble.

Whether you’re looking for lace, velvet, satin, or mesh, Urban Outfitters has a corset or bustier that’ll fulfill your romantic daydreams. In black, white, floral, or jacquard, there’s a huge selection, so you can make this on-trend silhouette all your own. Need some ideas for styling the piece? Embrace romantic-core in its entirety, and wear it with equally-as-sweet skirts, or give it a cool edge with slouchy trousers. Or, if you’d rather add some complexity, a corset is also the ideal layering piece worn over tees and or long-sleeve tops.
