I worked at Victoria’s Secret for 7 years and we would often give guidance for blending lingerie with clothes. The other day I was chatting with a girlfriend who we had became friends working at Victoria’s Secret and our conversation went to the transparent fashion trend. To me transparent fashion isn’t a trend but a style. Just as there is goth, preppy, and casual there is transparent or see through clothing also exists as a style. And the reason why I say that is that there is a “spirit” to the women that wear that style naturally – usually it’s light Bombshell Tease women (usually the analogy of women as perfumes) who are naturally drown to that style. On the other hand though it’s also become a trend but what my friend and I realized when we were talking is that there aren’t any guidelines to the trend. I know that fashion doesn’t have rules but the only problem is that if you’re wearing a see through dress there are definitely guidelines from it looking “Classy” vs. “Trashy.”
Step # 1: A Hint of Sexy
A “hint” of sexy is what it sounds like. Choose one spotlight point, breasts or legs etc. and highlight that 1 spot. It’s all about “teasing” with your body, giving a little something without giving it all away.
If something’s short then cover up your arms, if it’s a plunging neckline or your shoulders are showing than cover up your legs.
Another way to have a “hint of sexy” to play to the more romantic space and add some lace. Wearing a hint of lace, like a lacey bra peeking up out of a blazer or a sparkly corset under a bomber jacket or even a pair of sweats so you can balance high-low.
Step # 2: Transparent Fashion.
Transparent fashion is “teasable fashion.” Which means that even if the dress is see through what you are really doing is that you are playing with the silhouette and the shaping of your body vs. playing with how much skin you can show off. If something is completely sheer from head to toe than cover the intimate details of your body in a classy way – with lines within the dress or sparkle underneath the dress.
Underneath your lingerie is a blog that is meant to celebrate all women, all frequencies, all body structures so when I share this next part know that I say this with love – it’s all about knowing the lingerie pattern or design of your body that you yourself have created over the years. If you already have a unique structure to your body like a woman who works out a lot then you can often “get away” with wearing you can get away with wearing cheaper fabric that doesn’t have structure in it because the curves that you built while working out gives the dress structure. But if your an average everyday woman or extremely voluptuous then dresses without structure in them are going to make you look cheap, because the dress is cheap. Always remember it’s the fault of the dress and not the fault of your body.
Step #3: The Art of the Imagination.
Always leave something hidden. Step #3 is the shortest point because I don’t have anything much to eleborate much on this (pun intended) however remember this is about highlighting the silhouette vs. highlighting the skin. If you had a Christmas present would it be already unwrapped under the tree? Or do they have gorgeous wrapping and ribbons?
Teaseable fashion is not for men however that being said if you’re already unwrapped he’s not going to want you anymore. You can think of it a bit as an “art” to never fully getting you or look at is as an artist looking at a canvas where some of it is hidden. The muse never fully reveals her secret.
Step # 4: The Forbidden Body.
To understand transparent fashion we have to look at first how we got here and to do that we have to turn to the “dark” side of transparent fashion. The sacredness of a women’s body has been used an excuse to tell women that their bodies are a temptation and literally a sin. Sis the body that you are wearing is not a sis, what these men are doing to it is – their just not holding themselves culpable for their sin. And wearing more clothes definitely doesn’t help you be raped less (just as the women in Iran).
The reason why women are hurt like that is because of our fragrance our are aura – there’s a Victoria’ Fragrance called Bombshell within every women’s body and that’s what they (meaning everyone) have been feasting on.
So back to fashion…it’s “forbidden” for a women to show her body, “yadayayaya” and so what has happened is that more celebrities (in order to get more clicks and views and make the movies that they are in stand out more and hopefully bring in a larger audience) they have started to wear less and less and less on the red carpet. And sometimes wearing less hasn’t been in the most fashionable way. What happens then is that younger girls replicate this without both sides knowing exactly what their doing.
Step # 5: Know what belongs in Playboy vs. What belongs in the Neighborhood.
Every woman has her inner playboy side and sometimes it’s more about carrying an inner Playboy spirit inside your body with more “modest’ clothing vs. giving everyone in the world an open look to your magazine. You can definitely be a sensual goddess in public who wears sheer clothing but the way that you do it and how much of your skin that you play with to show through what you have on separates the high end “Playboy model” vs. the low class playboy wannabee (not trying to type caste here – you can be the poorest woman in the world and dress like a goddess with thrift store clothes and you can be rich and look like a convenience store in the wrong see through dress).
Step $6: Sexiness pours from your skin.
Literally. Physically, emotionally, and spiritually. A woman not lose an inch of weight and look sexy as hell if she has learned to tap into the inner of the goddess that her body carries. Before a woman connects to her body she should connect to her fragrance and that’s what I offer to women in my program the Legs of a Goddess.
Teaseable fashion is just that, a tease. But the woman who emerges from the “tease” as a goddess is you.
When my friend and I were talking we realized that there really are no terms or guidelines to this fashion trend and so I’ve tried my best to create one. What do you think? How would you change or add to it?
