I Tried It
NGL, I kind of slayed.
Lately, it seems like more and more fashion trends are actually about bodies, not clothing.
Recentadvances in plastic surgeryonly makebody trend shiftsall the more jarring.
I intentionally take back fashion trends that society tries to exclude fat people from.
Often, this requires me to push far beyond my comfort zone.
Im pretty adventurous and I regularly wear bold statement pieces, but some skimpier trends still feel daunting.
It took some serious internal pep talks for me to brave the aforementionedlow-rise jeans.
Fashions latest trend, however, is easily the scariest one yet: the pantsless trend.
This divisive fad showed up on the runway last September.
Bottega Venetta paired a chunky sweater with sheer black tights and pumps for their SS23 Milan Fashion Week show.
Meanwhile, at London Fashion Week, Victoria Beckham showed lacy black tights with an oversized navy blazer.
To recreate Jenners viral look, I layered a cropped sweater over my favorite bodysuit for a similar effect.
Like Jenner, I completed the ensemble with tights-as-pants and a pair of slingback, pointed-toe pumps.
The finishing touch: a bouquet of sunny yellow flowers.
This is basically just a pair of short-shorts!
The bodysuit covers so much more than most swimsuits!
This isnt even the first time youve done a no-pants outfit!
But I persevered, venturing onto the streets of New York City with my legs all the way out.
Even in a city famous for minding your own damn business, the outfit earned me somelooks.
All in all, it was a pretty enjoyable experience.
Do I still feel uncomfortable with body as an accessory trends?
