And supermodel Liu Wen has long been a few years ago, and she generously exposed her underwear shoulder straps when wearing summer clothes.
As with any trend, the wearing of exposed underwear straps is not suitable for all occasions, and in some more formal occasions, exposed shoulder straps are considered inappropriate.
Princess Kate has publicly shared her method of hiding the straps of her underwear. Because in royal etiquette, the behavior of bare shoulder straps is absolutely not allowed.
Once Emma Watson also revealed in an interview when she starred in the movie "Pearlescence" that she was afraid that wearing the shape of revealing the underwear shoulder straps would cause public opinion, so she found a stylist to modify the costumes in the film.
It can be seen that even in informal settings, people are not tolerant of bare shoulder straps.
But returning to the reality faced by girls, many summer styles, such as backless skirts, shoulders, shoulder designs, etc., these clothes are simply not suitable for underwear with shoulder straps.
This has led to the fact that everyone has to choose "underwear" alternatives that are harmful to their health. Alternatives such as the New Bra, or sticky chest patches. While these products visually solve the problem of exposing underwear straps, they often do not provide adequate support and comfort.
Long-term use of these products may cause some health problems, for example, the use of adhesive chest patches may cause skin irritation, or sagging chest due to lack of proper support. What's more, wearing inappropriate underwear may trigger back pain and even breast disease.
In this context, some girls prioritize their physical health when dressing, choosing to expose their underwear shoulder straps, but have to face doubts and criticism from society.
Looking back at history, there are indeed many fashions that were once unaccepted and misunderstood, and will become mainstream with changes in society and culture. Many outfits that were considered "non-standard" at some point have also eventually been accepted by society.
"Exposed underwear straps" is not only one of many examples, but also a style resurgence in itself.
Underwear belts used to be considered private parts and should not be exposed in public. But with the continuous development of modern fashion trends, display underwear belts have long become a new fashion trend.
It appeared in a rebellious style during the millennium. For example, Carrie Bradshaw appeared in "Sex and the City", which caused an outcry in the media at the time.
Gwen Stefani showed his shoulder straps in the MV and concert.
and the famous look of Madonna and Gauthier teaming up to make it popular.
The underwear design at that time was closer to the underwear itself, so it felt rebellious and "bad girl".
Now that it is back again, we can see that the design has been improving and changing in the past 20 years. Designers are also trying to solve the public's impression of "unelegant underwear straps".
Fashion designers will try to integrate the underwear shoulder straps and outerwear in their own creations to enhance the overall texture and visual effect.
Underwear designers are making the same effort to make underwear more fashionable, thereby changing the stereotype of "underwear at a glance". Make underwear and outerwear more similar and convenient for women to wear.
As far as the issue of "exposed underwear straps" is concerned, it does violate the traditional dress code. However, the essence of fashion is to constantly innovate and challenge norms, and when more and more people accept and adopt this new trend, it tends to change people's perceptions and gradually form new norms.
For some young people, displaying lingerie belts is an expression of individuality and self-identity, as well as their independent spirit of daring to challenge traditional rules. This style is also often adopted by some influential social media figures and celebrities, and their behavior has undoubtedly contributed to the development of this trend.
Therefore, the question of "should I show my underwear straps" is not a simple choice of two, but a balance needs to be found.
What we can do is to embrace the fashion trend of off-the-shoulder straps with an open mind in less formal casual occasions; On formal occasions, respect the traditional dress code.
The most important point is that I wish everyone to embrace health and love their bodies while having beauty!
