The past couple of years have undoubtedly beenfashions nakedest.
The barely-there ethos has also infiltrated multiple style categories includingbagsandshoes.
Welcome to the era of NSFW (as in not-suitable-for-work) office wear, aka corporate sleaze.
What Is Corporate Sleaze?
Traditionally, corporate employees or office-goers wore pencil skirts, blouses, button-downs, and suits to work.
Well, the corporate sleaze trend takes all of those items and adds a little spice.
Styling options include wearing sheer pieces, exposing lingerie, unbuttoning tops, and shortening hemlines.
Thats the persona style stars have been leaning into, especially Elsa Hosk.
She even starred inan office-inspired campaign for I.AM.GIA, which was completely NSFW.
Beyonce also gave the style her stamp of approval, developing a particular affinity for gray suiting.
Even low-keyJennifer Lawrence embraced the style at Paris Fashion Weeklast February.
She wore a boardroom favorite: a vest, trousers, and blazer combo.
But instead of wearing a button-down under the vest, she, well… didnt.
The result was a cleavage-forward look that was peak office siren.
Bella Hadid is also a fan.
Weeks later,Miley Cyrus wore the exact same fitto appear on David LettermansMy Next Guest Needs No Introduction.
The biggest advocate of the style, however, is Saint Laurent.
At Paris Fashion Week, the French house basically took its corpcore DNA and turned it sleazy.
On the labels September runway,36 out of 48 looks freed the nip in see-through permutationsof office attire.
Think: pussy-bow blouses and pencil skirts, a trademark Saint Laurent outfit.
The ensembles that werent sheer were also risque, like suits worn sans top for a majorly plunging neckline.
The trend continued well into the Spring/Summer 2025 season, especially on the runways of Prada and Sportmax.
But Is It Practical?
The 2020 lockdowns undoubtedly altered office dressing for good.
Years of working remotely meant wearing outfits that were Zoom-appropriate on top and comfortable on bottom.
