Lady GaGa loves to flash the flesh
Spring is in the air! This time of year we start to think about shaving our legs and fake tanning our pasty bodies after hiding under jumpers and opaque tights all winter. However, if the fashion pack has anything to say about it, this season we're going to be flashing a whole lot more than our legs as some very scary trends are been thrust upon us...
The first flesh baring trend to hit us is baring your midriff.
This trend is about as welcome as Jessica Alba turning up to your birthday party in the same dress as you, but unfortunately the tummy is back! We know, we know, this goes against all the laws of nature, taste and just sense! But as part of the 80s revival that fashion is currently experiencing, the crop top comes along with it.
With Cheryl Cole flashing her midriff in one and Topshop, River Island and Asos all including crop tops in their new season collections, maybe it’s time to head to the gym and start the stomach crunches? If you're daring - and toned - enough to try this trend, team your crop top with a high waisted pencil skirt a la Cheryl and you'll be relatively covered up.
So will this trend catch on? Maybe, Female First is yet to be convinced!
If the last trend was scary, this one is just plain terrifying, knickers as outer-wear. Sienna Miller tried it two years ago and it never caught on. But now, worryingly, more and more celebs have been out and about in just their pants!
Forget about your Bridget Jones style tummy tuckers, this trend is all about jewelled, sequined and sparkly pants! Lady Gaga is a proud pants flasher and Lily Allen has pulled off the trend recently by teaming big sparkly knickers with opaque tights and a plain vest.
So if you want to give this look a go, Female First suggests wearing your best and biggest kecks with black tights and a demure top. But be warned, this is not a trend most of us could pull off, it’s probably best left to the famous and fabulous!
