Not so very long ago, the mere sight of a bra strap was enough to raise eyebrows and elicit giggles. Now, of course, it's not only common but in some cases fashionable for women to show off their under-things. Lingerie: It's not just for bedrooms any more!
This may actually help account for the popularity of low-rise jeans; it's only inevitable that a bit of underwear will peek out over the top. When Victoria's Secret started noticing this trend back in the late 90s, the company responded by creating an array of fashionable underwear that looked just as good in the back as well as the front. They focused on designs that young women would want to go out of their way to show off. Thongs are in!
Another way women are showing off their undergarments is by wearing see-through clothes, such as a chiffon shirt or dress. It's making bralets very popular, which are a combination of bras and camisoles.
Apart from that, it's actually not uncommon to see lingerie being worn by itself as casually as outwear clothing. Which means that not just any old set of bras and underwear will do... there has to be lace, sequins, crystals, or even furs or feathers embellishing the lingerie.
This trend has made camisoles and corsets extremely popular. Camisoles are worn as if they were lacy blouses, and slips can practically serve as slinky evening wear dresses.
If you're bold, have a great body, and want to dress to be seen, you just might want to jump on the lingerie-as-outerwear bandwagon.
