Are corsets still fashionable?

Corsets for the bedroom are still considered fashionable by the women who wear them. However, the corset hit its stride in Victorian England as the must-have fashion accessory for every woman. That hourglass figure everyone wants? Yeah, this started it when the metal eyelet was invented. That allowed women to pull their corsets so tight they couldn’t breathe, and there’s your punchline with this answer.

However, stores still sell corsets, and for costumes in the right periods, corsets are needed to make it work. Those who do steampunk often have a corset or two around, and those who want some posture help may even wear a corset. They’re just not as acceptable to wear so you’re as thin as can be anymore.

I'd think of corsets in terms of necessary or unnecessary rather than fashion. However, they did make a flamboyant come-back in 2016 with several celebrities flaunting them. Kim Kardashian was one, and the beautiful Kendall Jenner, another.

The Vogue Fashion show of that year had models on the catwalk wearing corsets that ranged from bedroom glamorous to pathetically ridiculous, the last a sagging white affair grabbing the waist of an anorexic whose legs seemed hardly sufficient to maintain her upright.
