THE STATEMENT STRAPS MAKE A SEXY COMEBACK AT THE SPRING SUMMER 23 RUNWAYS, IN WAYS WE WEREN'T READY FOR.
If our dearest runways are any indication, fashion is embracing lingerie in upbeat forms for the spring season ahead. Oh, and with all due respect, we are not talking about Wilde's black Michael Kors bra top. Strappy detailing becomes significant in not just intimates but also loungewear with designers revealing undergarments in many ways, from subtle peeks to full-on seductive displays.
Let's talk trends! Sexy detailing on upbeat resort wear-inspired looks becomes key as Multi-strapping returns, with soft bralettes styled over or under Cutout body wear. MetalHardware feels strong, picking up ModernGoth and FutureUtility themes, while LaceUp and boned structures create strappy looks taking inspiration from historical corsetry. This key Summer Sensuality trend also sees asymmetry, halter necks and strapping used on soft matching sets in uplifting colours.
We do have a handful of tricks straight from the Spring 2023 runways, below. Though all of this is to say, how you interpret this "new sexy" is entirely up to you to decide.
UK luxury lingerie label Studio-Pia has been picked up by the Japanese concept store il Felino. This set received a buzz on social media, signalling that more glamorous, sexy looks are gaining appeal as we get into the party groove. Gold hardware is also something we saw on the catwalks, offering another expression of the 90's Hedonist direction.
In Milano, We see how Andreadamo takes layering to a whole new level with their cutout crop top worn below a sleek strappy bralette serving yummy looks for summer.
On the other hand, Givenchy takes us back to its Parisian essence with that baby pink bra harnessed with utilitarian straps paired with sexy black low-waist trousers and a double buckle leather belt. Completing the look by throwing on a matching bag and speaking the same language surely makes us want to go functional this summer, doesn't it?
A little farther away, In New York, we see our favourite vintage piece - The corset, being the source of inspiration for Elena Velez as they make our heads turn with this bold, edgy and seductive look. Straps combined with loose weaves to create cut-out impressions??? Yes, yes and yes!
So Straps it is, We said it first.
