Consider it “spring’s most counterint­uitive trend.” After a year of living in loungewear while social distancing, women are embracing the corset, the “waist-cinching, bustelevat­ing” garment that has been associated with female torture and oppression for almost six centuries. Some of the credit goes to Bridgerton, the Netflix series about a corseted debutante in Regencyera England. But fashion houses including Alexander McQueen and Fleur du Mal put corsets on runways months earlier. Many of today’s corsets, such as the zip-up top from Christophe­r John Rogers shown here, favor comfort over binding power. Seen right, it “announces the return of in-person partying.” $1,025, saksfiftha­venue.com
