Don’t change your panties on this trend.
The coveted summer accessory isn’t the bag or the latest “It” shoe—it’s the underwear.
Once taboo and considered ugly, see-through underwear lines are the hottest thing this season, whether shorts are bared under a fishnet dress or thongs peeking out from the waistband.
More importantly, the trend, rooted in hip-hop culture and Y2K fashion, has ushered in a resurgence of the ’90s era of the “whale tail,” as celebrities—who are no longer afraid to hide panties grandmother’s scary – are eager to move up. their G-strings over their hips.
The A-lister’s style mavens have worn some notable underwear variations, like Katy Perry in a backless dress or Dua Lipa in a backless dress cut to mimic a whale tail. Sydney Sweeney also wore a pair of white shorts that peeked out from under her low-rise jeans during a recent outing in Manhattan, while Hailey Bieber is a fan of see-through dresses with cheeky underwear underneath.
“Brat” sensation Charli XCX, for one, posted a sultry selfie on Instagram this week, showing off a pair of pink panties peeking out over her blue jeans.
The photo was followed by another cover for her latest single – a remix of her hit ‘Guess’ with Billie Eilish, who rocked a three-pack in a boxer-style bundle.
In the music video for the song, a current club anthem centered around underwear, the two pop stars rolled down a mountain piled high with thousands of panties.
While it’s not necessarily new to show off some skivvies — just look at Calvin Klein’s ’80s ad campaign with Mark Wahlberg and Kate Moss — the revival is “subversive,” said designer Eric Daman, who worked on the set for Colleen’s upcoming adaptation . “It’s Over with Us” by Hoover.
During the shoot, Blake Lively was seen wearing high-waisted blue boxers underneath her low-cut pants, a “conscious” choice that Daman describes as “rebellious, subversive and self-possessed.”
In a way, he told The Guardian, it is a “middle finger to social norms” and “a strong but subtle way of showing independence, strength and rebellion”.
The trend has been on fire since a host of Fall/Winter 2023 collections from Miu Miu, Gucci and many others saw underwear as outerwear or panties from designer brands peeking below the waistline.
“They made it look so undeniable, we couldn’t look away,” NYC designer Beverly Nguyen told The Zoe Report of the Miu Miu catwalk.
“You see previous generations being referenced in runway shows because people are influenced by a certain era, [like the ‘90s],” noted designer Turner Turner, adding that the trend is reminiscent of Aaliyah in Tommy Hilfiger in the 90s.
The only difference now is that “we’re seeing what might be seen as traditionally worn men’s underwear on cisgender women or people who are more fluid in their approaches to their gender and sexuality,” Shaun Cole , an associate professor at the University of Southampton. fashion, told The Guardian.
The trend follows last year’s craze for peekaboo bras, a red carpet look also adopted by Sweeney, as experts boldly declared that “breasts are back”.
Meanwhile, confident Gen Z women are taking a stripped-down version of the cheeky style by wearing only underwear in “true nude fashion.”
“There’s a certain sexuality about the trend that I find very interesting because there’s a power to it, like ‘You can look but you can’t touch,'” he previously told The. AFTER
