This article examines the recent fashion trend of wearing bras and other lingerie items as outerwear, contrasting it with the evolution of the T-shirt. It argues that while some fashion elements can crossover successfully, the bra's inherent design makes it unsuitable for public display, resulting in a category mistake rather than a style innovation.
Fashion has always been cyclical, but the current trend of wearing intimate apparel as outerwear feels particularly jarring. While it's true that the T-shirt was once considered underwear, it evolved into a versatile, everyday garment.
The bra, however, remains a distinctly functional piece of lingerie. The sight of bras peeking out from under shirts or worn as standalone tops is not only impractical but also suggests a lack of understanding of the garment's original purpose. As for the 'speedsuit' trend, it seems to be a case of form over function; while it may look sporty, it's unlikely to offer the same comfort or support as a properly fitted running outfit.
These trends highlight the often arbitrary nature of fashion, where practicality is sacrificed for the sake of novelty.
