Sexy is in: Risqué trends to shop
Sexy is in, didn’t you hear? After months (and months, and months) of sweatpants and sports bras, who among us isn’t eager for a little va-va-voom in our lives?
For those keen to swap out their comfy clothes for something a little racier, you have fashion on your side. According to the Stylight Fashion Recap report, one of the most prominent trends of 2021 was cheeky, risqué apparel.
Trend #1: Sheer Tops
Nestled among this year’s most provocative trends: sheer tops. According to our research, searches for sheer tops increased by 51 per cent on Google in 2021.
How do you style the whimsical trend? Pair it with a simple black bralette and high-waisted bottoms for a sexy yet chic look.
