Barebones; sheer lovely
By Hannah Tan
There is definitely nothing like London in the summer time. With outdoor terraces filled to the brim, sweaty commuters, and the sudden arrival of the urge to be outdoors, fashion responds by way of a kind of detox, a detox of the sartorial variety. While maximalism has been all the rage in past years, thanks to the likes of avid decorators like Alessandro Michele, rising temperatures call for a return to the sensuality of the minimal. The 90’s silk slip has had a major come back in recent seasons , as well as sheer and translucent billowy blouses and dresses. Corsetry has been a dark horse trend in recent years, but this summer comes in more subdued iterations as seen in Tibi and Esteban Cortazar. Transparency is key to achieving the Bare Bones look, sleek silhouettes, minimal detail, and the allure of sheer; all make for elevated summer dressing without all the usual fluff.
