Consider this your crash course in corset top styling.

If you haven't been on Instagram or TikTok in the past six months, let me give you the main takeaway: corsets are trendy. However, I have a feeling that demand for the coin will peak over the next few days. Why? Because of Bridgerton, dear reader.

The second season of the hit series has just started streaming on Netflix, and if you're one of the 63 million people who fell for the first, which aired for almost a year and a half ago, if you can believe it, you'll know that the series' return is a big deal. Although Rége-Jean Page may not be reprising his role as Duke (something I still can't accept), there is one thing I know I can count on: fashion.

I'm always here for period drama, mostly for the outfits, and Bridgerton's costume department didn't disappoint with their vision in bustle fashion and empire dresses. However, the corset is perhaps the most malleable Bridgerton-inspired piece you can add to your wardrobe.

If you doubt the influence of the series on our outfits, let me enlighten you. Depop's Intel shows that corsets are currently number three among the most searched items on the fashion resale platform. Additionally, in the last three months, there has been a 155% increase in searches for the term "Regency core", also on Depop. I feel seen.

So whether you fully subscribe to the Regency-core aesthetic or are looking for a more subtle way to give your look Bridgerton flair, j I have the solution. Scroll below to see 11 cool and chic corseted outfits you'll want to try for yourself.
