So spring time has come around and we are all so excited to get out of these layers-a-plenty and strut around in clothes people will actually see. But which trend should you go for considering you’ve probably already run out of money until the next loan comes through in April (please tell me the next loan comes through in April…).
The money appears to be on the underwear as outerwear trend. You probably already have some suitable garments lying around in a pyjama drawer for special occasions, and if not the high street won’t disappoint. Nude colours are everywhere, and H&M in particular have some bustiers so pretty it would be a shame to cover them up. Lace from your Christmas wardrobe also fits nicely.
Underwear as outerwear is also perfect for this time of year. Fresh enough to feed our hunger to want to slip into something soft and breezy, but with no shame in bringing a fur coat out to cover up. After all, it wasn’t meant to keep you warm.
But do be careful with this trend. A safe idol would be Cassie from Skins Season 1. So ditzy you could believe she’d simply forgotten to get dressed but so elegant you wish you could get away with that too. I can't find a pic of my favourite outfit but when I've done this essay I'll get a still up. For now, this video does it some justice.
Anything more overt than that and a warning must be issued. Blair Waldorf may have got it just right in Season 1 as she danced on stage in just pearls and a pink slip (and you can’t deny that she did it perfectly because it got her Chuck Bass), but just wandering around in a nightgown is to be advised against.
It can give off the wrong vibe…
