Underwear as Outerwear
Fashion and trends are constantly changing as quickly as seasons progress, but one thing that never loses its necessity is underwear. The new trend that I want to talk about today is empowered women regularly rocking underwear as outerwear! I’m seeing it more and more every day and am absolutely loving it. From bras to corsets, it is all about showing off the pieces we once would have been told to hide away!
Bras
I love this version of underwear as outerwear as it is so easy to do and you can take it as far as you are comfortable with. Whether it be a workout style crop top or a lacy balconette bra, this is the perfect summer statement.

Boy Shorts
I am currently living in these men’s underwear style boy shorts, which are really just like a jazzed-up bike short. They are super comfy, really chic and can be dressed up or down in nearly all fashion senses.

Corsets
Once worn to create a ‘shapely’ silhouette for women by restricting and pulling everything in quite unnaturally, you can now find much more comfortable and form fitting corsets that look SO great paired with jeans, or over shirts, or with dresses, honestly the options are endless.

Slips
Slip style dresses are so very in right now, they’re slinky, relaxed, flattering and can be worn for a great deal of occasions. I love wearing mine with a pair of combat boots and a pleather blazer for a festival, or with strappy heels and red lippy for a confident look for going out.

Bodysuits
These babies are so versatile they’re a must have! They look great with a pair of jeans or pleather pants, or layered under skirts or dresses, or even when you can just see them peeking through other layers.

The best thing about this trend is that you can be as reserved or bold as you like! Subtle or daring, either way, this is a trend that I’m sure will stick around as long as we are wearing underwear!
