“intimates as outwear” – a new trend?

Hey guys! Recently I have heard from the newest fad:

“underwear as outwear”

and so I thought I’d write about it 🙂

I got to know about this trend through a website called FRESHPAIR where you can order underwear as well as nightwear etc. and additionally I did a bit of research and I find this trend very interesting!

So this trend is all about displaying underwear in public, for example wearing nice underwear under transparent clothing. You can wear for example a nice bra under a T-Shirt with cutouts or something like that. Many celebrities also wear a beautiful lace night dress combined with for example a leather or a denim jacket and some nice shoes and the look is perfect! To further explain this trend I would like to show you some examples, how many celebrities wear their underwear as ourtwear:

This for example are Lea Michele, who is wearing a delicate bra under her dress which has a very low neckline, and Kim Kardashian, who really gets the trend 😉

As you can see on the first picture of KK, she is wearing a delicate bra under a very transparent blouse. In the following pictures you can see Ellie Goulding, Kat Graham, Julianne Hough and Kendra Wilkinson wearing the same technique:

You can also display your lingerie through wearing some transparent lace outfit such as Shenae Grimes, Jamie Chung, http://Taylor%20Swift and this woman are doing it:

What I also find very sexy and seductive is the look with a delicate corset, as Georgia Salpa, http://Charlize%20Theron, Pixie Lott and  Miley Cyrus are showing us:

However, Miley can not only be elegant but also very casual with this look. 😉 I really like the following look very much because this is another and especially a very casual way of wearing your intimates as outwear. As for me, Miley Cyrus, Cara Delevingne and Meagan Good are displaying their bras in a way which is also appropriate for everyday life:

Very similar to the above “everyday look” is the following one. I especially like this way of showing your bra because of the intricate and lace details: http://Laura%20Badura, http://this%20style, http://this%20look and http://this%20one

I’m especially a huge fan of this last one, beacuse this is definitely the perfect bra for a backless top!

In my opinion Gwen Stefani is definitely rocking this style with her matching bra and handbag! Furthermore the colour also reoccurs in her shoes ❤ :

Also Beyoncé is a great example for the “intimates as outwear” trend – casually walking with a starbucks cup in her hand, displaying her bra:

To sum up I really have to stress that this look has to be worn self-confidently, because throughout my research I found some very bad examples… Real no-go’s…. An outfit where you display your lingerie really has to be put together in a classy way otherwise it looks just bad and cheap.

But in general I am a huge fan of this fashion trend and I don’t think that this look is daring or anything like that. In my opinion displaying bras, panties, delicate lingerie etc. is a beautiful style.

Moreover you can see this look on runways and on many red carpets!

Here are further looks which I like and wanted to share with you:

I hope you really liked it and please tell me what you think of this trend!
