This summer's most chic and trending statement piece doesn't cost you much of anything, but a little bit of confidence and a whole lot of stares.Nipples were on trend at many Spring/Summer 2015 fashion shows. Design houses, such as Burberry, Erdem, Christopher Kane, and Chanel featured sheer garments with no nipple coverings. Celebrities, such as Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, JLo, and Iggy Azalea have also supported the Free The Nipple movement on various occasions, and lets not forget Marilyn Manson's iconic sheer slip dress at the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards. For decades fashion has embraced nudity and it's edgy appeal with sheer and nude nipple-bearing designs. However the Free The Nipple movement has trickled down to street style and has become a summer must have and hopefully will stick around for Fall and Winter fashion.. No big deal, a nipple or two has never killed anyone, especially why styled fashionably.
Not everyone will agree with the Free the Nipple movement, and in many cultures the expression is considered to be offensive and disparaging. For many the movement exceeds the nipple and fashion, extending out to choice, freedom, and the desexualisation of women's bodies. Surely my generation is more open to the freedom of the nipple and for those who are offended by a woman's bare aerola I hope you are just as offended my a man's.
Here are some chic and edgy ways to rock your nipples:
1.Be casual and pair your next street wear outfit with a mesh top and no bra of course!
2. You never know who you'll meet in your dreams! Pair your pajama set with a lace sheer bandeau bra!
3. Enjoy a young, wild, and free night out and be sure to channel the edgy you. How about a mesh graffic tee?
4. Keep it classy with a sheer top and a pair of high waist wide leg pants!
5. Serve glamour chicness in an all sheer gown. Step out of their comfort zone if you know what I mean!
