It’s not the first time Kim has rocked a corset over her clothes. The Kardashian kween has promoted waist trainers on Instagram for years. But her fixation on pairing baggy T-shirts under tight corsets is a recent phenomenon. Kim K. has a particular knack for turning clothing that’s supposed to be loose and comfortable into a near-torture device.
