Ask me six months ago about this high new trend and I would have laughed in your face. However, the more I see the more I heart it! Apart from Marc Jacobs who went all superhero on everyone, I feel it's sexy but it can be subtle and in pale pastel colours, it can look dead cute.
Think knee-high socks, suspenders, boned bras, corsets, lace and see-through layers. Here are my favourites:
Straight from the the ready-to-wear collection by Tomas Maier for Bottega Veneta, where the all in white collection includes a boned bra corset and cropped trousers with a creamy cardigan. Note, the 'sensible' shoes which appeared on the catwalk this season as well as hairbands like she wore.
Model Erin Wasson wears a black lace dress for Teen Vogue. The long sleeves make up for the see-through areas. I feel it looks a bit plain without anything on her legs, and the idea of roughier boots is good, but these aren't right in green.
This girl has incorparated 2 trends into this outfit: itsy bitsy denim shorts matched with over-the-knee suspenders. On her top half she covers up; not to over-expose.
I love Christopher Kane's take on this trend. The whole baby doll look: white cropped tee with the plain bra with innocent shades of baby blue. The shimmery chiffon skirt is amazing; definately for those who are a bit tentative playing with this trend on an every-day scale.
