Wearing underwear as outerwear is a fashion trend. Examples today include the look of straps and bras in women's outfits, and the look of underwear under the panties slung over the man. In 2009, the use of a visible corset has become fashionable, popularized by stage performers such as Lady Gaga and Rihanna.
The idea of ââunderwear as outerwear is part of the deconstruction of trends that have occurred in the 20th and 21st centuries. Part of the popularity of this trend is brought about by several contemporary lingerie brands such as VPL, The Lake and Stars and alt-fashion clothing designer Stephanie Paterek (Love Cage NYC and NYC Sex Trash), and with the concept that is heralded In this modern age, the designers of comrades as part of an effort to reach the elusive rings of various categories. Both brands have been particularly successful in straddling the line between underwear as outerwear by marketing to contemporary customers that look attractive.
From high fashion to mainstream, the popularity of this trend has been sparked by celebrities who actually wear lingerie and intimate clothing as clothing. This is nothing new, as Madonna began to trend in the 80s by wearing a conical bra and a belt on top of her outfit. But it has been taken in everyday environments as depicted on shows like Sex and the City , where a corset, bustier, or bra peeking through becomes the accepted norm. In addition, some artists especially Madonna, Lil 'Kim, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, and Lady Gaga appear with underwear or underwear only, which can be credited with popularizing coverage of this fashion trends in news and press. This celebrity-driven trend is then taken by fashion magazines and fashion blogs as a trend of "underwear as outerwear" and promoted as the main style. Some companies have acknowledged this trend in causing sales increases in sales as a result.
Wearing underwear as outerwear has historical antecedents in the look of underwear in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
The slip dress, an example of this trend, was first used extensively in the last decades of the 20th century, when they were made of layered chiffon, polyester satin and charm, and often trimmed with lace.

The Corset
Although the corset has departed from the mainstream mode since the early 1900s, corsets continue to exist in the fetish and pornographic cultures used to play the role of SM. Nevertheless, the 1968 sexual liberation movement began the re-use of corsets as a symbol of rebellion and "sexual deviation" by young women associated with London punk and Goth subcultures. Now instead of underwear, the corset has become a fashionable outfit. Not long until the Avant-garde mode begins to follow this trend, as designers like Vivienne Westwood begin to adopt a corset in their design, starting a second life of a corset in fashion. Women no longer feel the need to wear a corset, but now have the option to do so. This redefinition allows a symbol historically associated with the oppression of women, to be re-understood as a symbol of sexual empowerment in fashion.
However, although punk and Goth pioneered the transformation of corset meaning, pop singer Madonna played an instrumental role in popularizing it. The most famous debut on Blonde Ambition Tour 1990-91, a satin pink satin worn worn by Madonna and designed by French designer Jean-Paul Gaultier, has a major influence on fashion, especially in the trend of underwear as outerwear. Gaultier, a famous designer for emphasizing sexuality through the use of clothing, is one of the first to make the corset an integral part of his work.
Many high fashion designers have adopted this contemporary corset trend in clothing including evening dresses and wedding dresses. With attitudes and sexual behavior in society becoming much more free, the corset appears to have become a socially acceptable form of erotic appearance.
