DARK SECRETS: Let s get naked shoes | Rare Historical Photos

Brandon Mawell, Alaia, Tibi.

The "no pants" trend has become as common on the runway as wearing them. Yet, few people stand in front of the mirror and channel Coco Chanel’s famous rule by deciding that pants are the one thing they should take off. While it might pass "Go" amongst the fever dream looks on the fashion week circuits, naked dressing—tiny briefs, barely there tops, peek-a-boo sheer skirts, and even head-to-toe transparency (pieces that make Carrie Bradshaw’s memorable “naked dress” feel laughably modest) aren’t held to the same acceptance standards in the real world.

Fashion celebrates self-expression, but even boundless self-confidence won’t make a Hailey Bieber-fied sheer lace catsuit office-appropriate. And let’s be honest—many grown women (hi, that's me, and probably you) aren’t exactly eager to take on the world in little more than lingerie.
