Underwear as outerwear: 2008 fashion trend

Sheer fabric is in; and along with comes a new take on underwear-as-outerwear.
In recent memory, any trends towards underwear-inspired garments have had their basis in corsetry. In 2008, bodices and boning have given way to free-flowing pieces that take their inspiration from delicately feminine lingerie styles. Camisoles, robes and slips are taking their place as everyday garments, drawing on the soft elegance of the 1930's.

On the S/S 2008 runways, lingerie-inspired garments were paired with bold accessories - leather belts and chunky heels. For 2008 this trend can take shape in anything from a pastel silk cami contrasted with a sharp suit, to a vintage slip accessorised for night time glamour. Credit to: fashionising.com
