Each season during Fashion Month [1], we wait to see what trends will make it big. While we always keep our eyes peeled for the most wearable trends [2], we also keep tabs on ones that have a certain shock factor. A couple of years ago, it was the naked dress trend [3] that took centre stage (as the name implies, it's a sheer dress that gives the illusion that you're naked), and now there's a new iteration in town — and it's a whole lot more daring.
For the Spring '19 season [4], street style stars and editors opted for one of the boldest trends we've seen to date. While running to shows, we've noticed a lot of people opting for the ultrasheer dress. Sometimes they'd pair their sheer dresses [5] with bras and high-waisted underwear, and other times they'd style it with no bra at all. Read on to see the controversial trend ahead.
