The world has turned upside down in recent decades, especially the world of fashion. Now the aim of every designer is not to follow healthy trends creating comfortable and elegant items, they want to shock with their extravagant decisions and bold experiments.

The latest lingerie trend is to use underwear as outwear. The idea might seem too incredible for traditional people. Personally I did not believe the trend to gain true popularity at first, it seemed too shocking for me, now the situation has changed dramatically.

And among the pioneers of the trend there are such renowned personalities as Lindsay Lohan, Beyonce, Rihanna, Taylor Momsen, Zoe Saldana and many other bold women with Lady Gaga as the indisputable leader of the trend. As a rule it is a celebrity who first appears in public in any unusual outfit, then women all over the world start to imitate the idea.

Underwear as outwear still remains a popular trend only among celebrities, while ordinary people like me and you have got used to the opposite idea –lingerie ought never to be visible. Meanwhile online polls reveal that the majority of women would agree to walk out in underwear pieces. I wonder if it is true.

Some critics say that the tendency means a serious decline in morality, while others think it to be evidence of the peak in consumption. In fact, there were times when luxurious lingerie was considered a sign of wealth. Now we can observe the same situation. Fashion designers who spend huge sums of money on underwear do not like to keep it invisible. In the result at this year’s fashion Week on the catwalk models marched in bodices, underskirts, suspenders and bras. Marc Jacobs layered a baby blue silky bra over a blushed dusty pink blouse. Botega Venetta presented an ivory-coloured boned corset paired with a gauzy cream cardigan.
