10 stylish ways to wear your bra on the outside

Wearing underwear as outerwear isn’t anything new. Madonna was rocking her iconic Gaultier cone bra back in 1990, and Selena Quintanilla was so inspired by it, she made bustiers and high-waisted pants a thing herself later that decade. Rihanna constantly displays her brassieres on the regular, as does as our beloved Ilana Glazer from Broad City. By now, wearing your lingerie and intimate garments out in the open is pretty much a classic style move. 

If you have a new bra that is SO beautiful, it would be a shame to confine it to the indoors — here are 10 different ways you can wear it, inspired by celebs such as Gwen Stefani, Gigi Hadid, and Rihanna, of course!

1. Wear a bandeau style under your blazer like Kylie Jenner
